Forward Deployed Software Engineer
About this role
The Role
We're looking for a Forward Deployed Software Engineer to support technical work across Nucleus, Data Ops, internal tools, reporting, and AI workflows.
You'll sit close to business and operations teams, translating their needs into practical solutions, fixing bugs, and shipping smaller product improvements. Expect ambiguity, fast-moving requests, and multiple hats.
What You'll Own
•
Ship fast: Fix bugs, ship features, and automate recurring requests end-to-end.
•
AI-first engineering: At Influur, AI isn't a tool you reach for occasionally, it's how we breathe. You use Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot daily and build AI-enabled workflows, not just consume them. An engineer not using AI credits is a red flag.
•
Internal tooling & Data Ops: Improve Nucleus, write SQL, clean data, and reduce manual work through automation.
•
Debugging & QA: Reproduce bugs, test fixes, and validate end-to-end flows before release.
•
Cross-functional partnership: Translate operational pain points into well-scoped technical tasks and ship the solution.
What We're Looking For
Strong fundamentals across the stack and real fluency with AI tools, not someone catching up to them.
•
Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript and SQL. HTML/CSS and shell scripting as needed. Python is desired.
•
Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind. Comfort with forms, tables, dashboards, and internal UIs.
•
Backend: Node.js, REST APIs, auth basics. Able to debug API and integration issues.
•
Data: PostgreSQL or Supabase. Data cleaning, validation, and ad hoc reporting.
•
Cloud: GCP preferred (AWS a plus). Familiar with deployments, env vars, logs, and access control.
•
AI & Automation: Daily use of OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini APIs. Prompt engineering, structured outputs, and function calling. RAG, embeddings, AI agents, or no-code automation are pluses.
•
Testing: Reproduce bugs and validate fixes. Playwright is a plus.
•
Other: Git/GitHub, strong English communication, comfort with ambiguity. Stripe experience is a plus.
• Advanced English level (C1)
