Head of Deployed Engineering

Fieldguide builds software for audit, advisory, and tax practitioners. The Head of Deployed Engineering leads customer deployments, writes production code, and builds a team that turns field solutions into repeatable deployment practices and reusable product features.

Responsibilities:

• Lead important deployments yourself. Own technical delivery for some of our largest enterprise customers, from scoping through production. This includes single-tenant and government-cloud environments, regulated data, and audit methods that differ from firm to firm
• Write production code. Build agents, integrations and tools alongside the team, and handle the hardest technical problems directly
• Be the senior technical voice with customers. Act as a trusted advisor to partners, CIOs and audit leaders on how AI agents fit their practice
• Build the FDE team. Hire, coach and grow strong engineers who can both build and work directly with customers. Set the bar through your own work first
• Make deployment repeatable. Turn what you learn from hands-on work into playbooks, tools and metrics that speed up time-to-value as we grow upmarket
• Turn field work into product. Spot patterns across deployments and work with Product and Engineering so solutions built for one customer become reusable platform features

Requirements:

• 8+ years of leadership experience in forward deployed, deployment, solutions or customer engineering
• You've written production software recently and want to keep doing it
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers, and excitement about building a team from an early stage
• Comfort in front of senior enterprise stakeholders, especially in regulated or complex environments
• Good judgment about building for one customer versus the platform, and the ability to push back on scope when it matters
• Excitement about bringing AI agents into high-stakes professional work
• Experience at a Big 4 firm (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) or a major consulting firm such as Accenture, McKinsey, BCG or Bain
• Knowledge of audit, accounting, risk or compliance
• Experience deploying LLM or agent-based systems in production
