# Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

Elevate (YC S24) is hiring high-autonomy, analytical Forward Deployed Engineers to help build the AI execution layer for the real economy. We believe the next generation of enterprise software won’t just help people understand their businesses, it will do the work. Elevate is building the system that connects fragmented operational data, understands how a business runs, and deploys AI agents to execute increasingly complex workflows autonomously. We’re starting with acquisitions. Private equity-backed roll-ups and other serial acquirers are forced to integrate new businesses, systems, data, and processes over and over again. That makes them the perfect proving ground for a new kind of software. As an FDE, you’ll work directly with customers to turn that real-world complexity into software: integrating systems, modeling businesses, deploying AI workflows, and helping determine what gets built into the core Elevate platform. This is a high-ownership role at the center of the company. About Elevate Elevate is the AI operating system for acquisitions. Our customers are private equity-backed roll-ups, holding companies, and other acquisition-driven businesses. Today, we help them solve
