Forward-Deployed Software Engineer

Workhelix is a tech-enabled services company focused on maximizing organizations' AI investments. The Forward-Deployed Software Engineer will work directly with enterprise clients to solve complex data and engineering challenges, writing production-grade code and building scalable solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Deploy on-site or work closely with client engineering teams to extract data from enterprise systems (e.g., ERPs, data warehouses, SaaS tools)
• Navigate unfamiliar systems and architectures to identify the best technical path forward, often with incomplete documentation or limited access
• Own end-to-end implementation of technical solutions—from data extraction and transformation to integration with the Workhelix platform
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code in Python, SQL, and other languages as needed
• Build and deploy data pipelines, APIs, and internal tooling to support analytics and modeling workflows
• Develop connectors and integrations with third-party systems, ensuring robustness and scalability
• Navigate legacy codebases to diagnose customer issues and contribute fixes when needed
• Partner with customer stakeholders (technical and non-technical) to deeply understand their systems, workflows, and pain points
• Decompose vague or ambiguous problems into tractable engineering tasks with measurable impact
• Balance speed and quality—know when to build quick scrappy prototypes and when to harden systems for scale
• Collaborate with Workhelix’s data scientists, strategists, and platform engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions that drive business outcomes
• Surface client insights that inform our product roadmap and internal tooling priorities
• Contribute to internal playbooks, libraries, and reusable assets that increase the velocity of future deployments
