Tavus
Join Tavus, a Series B research lab pioneering human computing, to build AI Humans — a new interface that closes the gap between people and machines. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll split your time between customers (30–40%) and product development, working hands-on to debug integrations, build prototypes, and translate customer feedback into product improvements. You’ll be the bridge between users and engineering, ensuring every developer has a seamless experience.
What You Will Do
Work directly with customers to debug, build POCs, and design solutions.
Build prototypes, SDKs, sample apps, and tools that improve developer experience.
Collect feedback, identify patterns, and translate them into product/engineering improvements.
Partner on early feature adoption: test pre-release features with customers, gather feedback, suggest iterations.
Help define how we develop a world class customer experience.
What We Are Looking For
Extremely solid software engineering fundamentals.
Deep curiosity about problems at every level of the stack, from ML to infrastructure to networking.
The desire to work closely with end users to understand their problems.
A good "PM hat" to see patterns in customer requests and use those patterns to inform product direction.
A strong bias toward action and a founder mindset to keep going until a problem is truly solved.
Success means customers integrate Tavus faster and more reliably because of your support. Engineering ships changes directly informed by your field learnings. Prototypes and tools you build demonstrate new use cases and accelerate adoption. Product priorities are influenced by the patterns you uncover across customers.
At Tavus, you’ll join a diverse and supportive team with a flexible work schedule, unlimited PTO, competitive healthcare, and gear stipends. We’re not looking for cultural fits — we’re looking for culture creators. Diversity is at the core of how we hire, communicate, and work. To learn more, check out our hiring page.
