Forward Deployed Engineer, Platforms (US)
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Sep 30, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 28, 2026.
The Mission
Our mission is to deliver everyone a sustainable income. Right now 50,000 users make money on Whop every month, and this year users will earn over $5B. We will not stop until 1B people every month are making money on Whop.
Who We're Hiring
When sales closes a platform / marketplace deal that needs payments infra moved to Whop, someone has to take it off the AE's plate and drive the technical integration to completion. That's you - embedded between customer and product, building custom vertical integrations that are not core eng's job.
This is not a President's Club AE bar. We hire cracked eng-operators who sit with customers:
Founder / ex-founder who built and integrated payments or marketplace infra themselves (or made 7 figures shipping product), OR
Customer-facing engineer (FDE, Solutions Eng, Founding Eng) with years shipping with customers - API/automation/integrations fluent, OR
Technical operator who can write code, live in Cursor/Claude, and sit with platform eng teams without a translator
If you only want to write tickets for someone else to build, this isn't your role.
How We Work
Our culture is built on the premise that people should be given budget to take large bets, have full agency, and move fast as f*ck. Today there are 100 people full time at Whop - 75% ex-founders.
If you're an end-to-end individual that wants full ownership - this is the place to be.
What We Care About
We don't believe in traditional JDs. The most successful people at Whop have all come from extremely unconventional backgrounds, and all we care about is working with the most talented individuals who want to win.
Given the small size of our team, we pay best in class base + OTE with extremely competitive equity packages.
Location: In-person NYC / Brooklyn, 5 days in office.
Perks: Equinox membership, lunch & dinner M-F, rent stipend within 4 blocks, Citi Bike, Ubers home after 10pm, unlimited PTO + health/vision/dental, latest MacBook Pro.
The Bar
We want to work with people who want to be the best in the world. If that's not you, don't apply.
