Forward Deployed Engineer
Antasphere is an AI product studio. Alongside our own products, we build custom software for clients: each engagement is a signed project that needs someone to own it from kickoff to delivery and beyond. That someone is you.
The role
You join after the deal is signed. There is no sales in this job. From the first kickoff call, you are the client's single point of contact and the person who builds what they need.
Concretely, you run the full loop on your projects:
- Sit with the client, understand their process, and translate it into a scoped solution.
- Build that solution using our internal platform: products, templates, and agent tooling that generate most of the software for you.
- Verify what gets built. You are accountable for the system being coherent, correct, and maintainable, not for writing every line yourself.
- Ship it, present it to the client, iterate on their feedback, and keep it running.
Half your time is spent with clients, half with the product. You own the outcome end to end.
The engagement
This is a freelance role: you work with us as an independent contractor and invoice for your work, on an engagement we intend to be long term. That changes the paperwork, not the substance. You are part of the team, you own your projects end to end, and you work with us day to day.
How we build
We are an AI-native company. Builds are driven through our own agent-first tooling, which means the raw implementation is largely generated and streamlined. Your value is not typing speed: it is judgment. You need to read a system, spot when something generated is wrong or incoherent, and steer the build so the whole thing holds together.
Who we're looking for
- Technical enough to reason about systems: data models, APIs, integrations, and how the pieces fit. You can verify and debug what an agent produced.
- Comfortable in front of clients: you run meetings, ask the questions that surface the real need, and explain technical choices in plain language.
- An owner. You don't hand off, escalate by default, or wait for a spec. Given a signed project, you drive it to done.
- Curious about agentic development and eager to work at the edge of how software gets built.
What this role is not
- Not a sales role: deals arrive signed.
- Not a deep specialist engineering role: our platform carries the heavy lifting.
- Not a project manager role either: you build, you don't just coordinate.
