The Role

Our forward deployed teams own a set of customers end to end. Engineers, solutions consultants, and technical support sit in the same pod, working the same accounts, with the people who use what we build close enough to interrupt us.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer Intern

You’ll sit inside one of those pods, in one of our three technical functions, Product, Data, or Engineering. The work is technical and the feedback loop is short, because the person your work affects has a name and you’ve spoken to them.

How this works

Normally a team posts a job and hunts for someone to fill it. This process is backwards on purpose. We find the talent first, then go find the team, project, or problem that needs you most.

Process

- If it’s what we’re looking for, you’ll interview with us.
- Then the Early Talent team goes shopping. We pitch you to the teams, managers, or pods whose problems fit what you’re great at.
- You probably meet multiple teams or managers to explore what fits.
- If it’s a match on both sides, you get an offer for a role that was shaped around you.

This posting is open to three kinds of applicants. Most good FDEs are about one and a half of these. Tell us which interests you most, and we will go from there.

Product-Oriented Applicant Types of problems you might get to solve

- Users keep dropping off at the same step of identity verification. You sit with our support team, watch real user sessions, and propose the fix.
- Three customers asked for three different features that are secretly the same feature. You notice, and propose something that lands for all three.




- A feature request is raised two weeks before the busiest betting weekend of the year. You help decide whether it ships, waits, or gets cut.

Day to day work

- Talking to customers, support and engineers, and turning what you hear into something the team can build.
- Deciding what matters most: which bug, which request, which customer first.
- Keeping projects on track, and following up. A lot.

Key Skills

- Product Instincts: You notice when something’s confusing, and you can’t stop asking why. (Experience with user research, product lifecycle, user experience, user analytics, or tools like Jira helps.)
- People Instincts: You can work out what a customer actually needs, then get busy people who don’t report to you to deliver it. You follow up until it’s done.
- Voracious Learner: You’ll pick up enough of GeoComply’s products and stack to translate between customers and engineers, and to work out what’s actually feasible.

Engineering-Oriented Applicant

- A customer’s iOS integration is failing on one device model, and they launch Thursday. You figure out whether it’s their code, ours, or Apple’s.
- A fraud rule works perfectly in testing but slows real-time decisions under load. You trace it, fix it, and watch the dashboards during rollout.
- The integration docs say one thing and customers do another. You close the gap, in the docs or in the SDK.

Day to day work

- Building and debugging the parts of our product customers actually touch: SDKs, integrations and APIs.
- Jumping on production issues while the customer is still waiting.
- Shipping code that gets reviewed by engineers who’ll tell you the truth.

Key Skills

- Engineering Foundations: You can read code you didn’t write and figure out why it’s broken. (Python, Java or Go experience helps.)
- Some of these, not all: system design, APIs and software architecture; cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and deployment tools; version control (Git) and CI/CD pipelines.
- Customer Instincts: Your
