Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.\nIn 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).\nAbout the Role\nFactory is on the cutting edge of software development. We build and deploy AI solutions that accelerate engineering work at the world's most innovative companies. We're looking for Forward Deployed Engineers to make every Factory deployment succeed, whether that means faster developer workflows, large-scale migrations, or accelerated product delivery.\nAs our customer base grows rapidly, you'll lead Factory's highest-impact customer implementations and special engineering projects. The role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, customer success, and go-to-market. It gives you the broadest exposure to every part of our business.\nWhat you will do and achieve\nLead end-to-end implementation and integration of Factory into customer engineering environments, directly partnering with customer teams to design robust, optimized workflows and build successful, long-term partnerships\n\nServe as the primary technical lead on customer engagements. You'll be on-site with customers regularly (typically about once a month and mostly within your region) to drive adoption, solve hard engineering problems and reduce time to value.\n\nDeliver large-scale migrations, modernization and refactoring work in complex production systems, and own the technical outcome with the customer.\n\nRespond quickly to customer needs. That can mean integrating with new systems, fixing critical issues in unfamiliar codebases or finding new ways to use Factory for a customer's specific problems.\n\nLearn our customers' use cases deeply, and build the tooling and documentation they need to grow at scale.\n\nStay current on software development practices, tools and technologies so Factory stays at the forefront of AI in engineering.\n\nQualifications\n4-10 years of engineering experience, ideally at companies that deploy complex technical products into demanding customer environments, such as Databricks, MongoDB, Meta, Palantir, Snowflake, Stripe, Cloudflare, Vannevar, Anduril or Scale.\n\nExperience delivering migrations, refactors or similar changes in complex production systems in a customer-facing role is a major plus\n\nDemonstrable capability to quickly grasp new technologies, programming languages, and software development practices. Proficiency across a broad tech stack is highly valued.\n\nStrong problem-solving abilities, including quickly diagnosing, debugging, and resolving technical challenges in customer-facing settings\n\nExcellent communication skills and a record of building strong relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nAn intrinsic motivation to fix customer problems and make every deployment succeed.\n\nA hunger to learn and keep improving, both your own skills and the product's value to customers. You're proactive and thrive in a fast-moving startup.\n\nDeep expertise in an industry such as financial services, healthcare or the public sector is a plus. We hire both generalists and specialists.\n\nThis is an in-office position (5 days/week) in San Francisco, New York, London or Washington, DC.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3802,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Code Intelligence","Developer Tools"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-01-23T01:45:40Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-08-22T17:19:04Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-08-30T18:36:29Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T01:37:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.705,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":271,"expected_fill_days":133,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/factory-software-engineer-deployed","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/factory-software-engineer-deployed.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T23:51:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":34032,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8942},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8942"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffactory-software-engineer-deployed"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffactory-software-engineer-deployed"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffactory-software-engineer-deployed"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/factory-software-engineer-deployed\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffactory-software-engineer-deployed"}]}
