To learn more about us, check out our blog!\nAbout the role\nForward Deployed Engineers at Method are engineers who work directly with our customers. You will join the Engineering team, be assigned to customers as they sign, and own getting each one live on Method's API. That means sitting with their engineers, understanding exactly what they are building, and writing the code that closes the gap between what Method does today and what they need to launch.\nThis is real engineering. When a customer needs configurability an endpoint does not support yet, you build it. When a go-live depends on a new feature built on existing services, you scope it and ship it. You will also own the surfaces every integrating customer touches: our SDKs, the OpenAPI spec, the customer configuration tool, and our integration guides. For Method's largest strategic accounts, you stay on for the long term, paired with a Forward Deployed PM, building custom extensions and leading expansion into new products.\nIf you want the depth of an engineering role with a direct line to the customer, and a path to broad ownership across building, selling, and product, this role is built for that.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn customer integrations from onboarding through go-live and ramp, writing the code needed to make Method's API fit each customer's use case\n\nGather requirements directly from customers and turn them into scoped, shippable work\n\nShip features that extend Method's platform, from new parameters and configurability on existing endpoints to larger features built on existing services and patterns\n\nOwn the SDKs, the OpenAPI spec, the customer configuration tool, and the integration guides and documentation that integrating customers rely on\n\nStay on as the engineering owner for strategic accounts, partnering with a Forward Deployed PM on custom builds and expansion\n\nJoin customer calls daily, including with customer engineering leaders\n\nTake part in the engineering on-call rotation and engineering ceremonies alongside product engineers\n\nTurn recurring customer requests into feedback and proposals that make the platform better for every customer\n\nWho you are\n3+ years of professional experience\n\nA strong software engineer with a track record of shipping production code\n\nDeeply fluent in APIs: you understand API design patterns and how integrations behave in production\n\nYou genuinely want to work with customers and get energy from understanding what they are trying to build\n\nYou move fast and adapt quickly when requirements change\n\nYou are comfortable working inside a large existing codebase and extending its patterns\n\nYou take ownership of outcomes, not just tickets\n\nYou thrive in an early-stage environment where you define how the work gets done\n\nExtra Awesome\nExperience as a forward deployed, solutions, or integration engineer at an API-first company\n\nExperience at a talent-dense company serving large enterprise customers\n\nCustomer-facing founder or early-employee experience\n\nExposure to fintech, payments, or financial data APIs\n\nThe annual US base salary range for this role is: $140,000-$200,000.\nBenefits available to full time employees\nMedical, Dental, Vision; basic medical plans 100% covered\n\nFlexible PTO\n\n$30/day Lunch allowance when working from the office\n\n12 weeks parental leave\n\nCommuter benefits; employer-sponsored\n\nPhone/internet stipend\n\nWFH stipend\n\nStudent loan repayment contribution\n\nLifestyle Spending stipend\n\nLearning & Development stipend\n\nHybrid-office stocked with snacks\n\nQuarterly team off-sites\n\nIn-office Policy\nFor most roles are Method, we expect a regular in-person presence at one of our hubs in NYC, Austin, SF or DC.
