Roe is building Cursor for Financial Crimes.
We help risk, compliance, and investigations teams at large enterprises use AI agents to analyze data, automate workflows, and solve real operational problems. Today, Roe is trusted by multiple public companies representing $400B+ in combined market cap.
We’re backed by Y Combinator, Google AI Ventures, Ardent Ventures, the CEO of Snowflake, and senior leaders from LinkedIn and top fintechs.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll sit at the intersection of customers, product, and engineering. You’ll work directly with sophisticated customers, understand their hardest problems, design solutions, build demos and prototypes, and help turn customer needs into product direction.
What you'll do
- Bridge Roe’s AI-powered data platform with real customer problems in risk and compliance. No prior finance background required.
- Work directly with customers, including Fortune 500 companies, to understand their workflows, data, and pain points.
- Design and deliver tailored technical solutions using Roe’s platform, SQL, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and modern data stacks.
- Build demos, prototypes, solution docs, and technical materials that help customers understand what is possible with Roe.
- Collaborate closely with sales, product, and engineering as one team.
- Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete technical workflows, product requirements, and implementation plans.
- Become an expert in AI agents, LLM-powered data analysis, and real-world enterprise deployments.
- Help shape Roe’s product roadmap through direct customer feedback.
What you won’t do
- Bureaucracy. No 3-month approvals to launch a feature.
- Politics. No fighting other teams for headcount or scope.
- Build for the void. We ship what customers actually need.
- Sit far away from impact. Your work will be in front of customers and tied directly to revenue, product direction, and company growth.
You may be a great fit if
- You enjoy being customer-facing and technical — explaining complex systems in simple, convincing ways.
- You can translate ambiguous business problems into concrete technical solutions.
- You’re comfortable working across SQL, APIs, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and modern data stacks.
- You’re curious about AI, LLMs, and agent-based systems — and eager to apply them to real-world use cases.
- You write clearly, speak confidently, and can adapt your communication to both technical and non-technical audiences.
This role isn’t for you if
- You’re looking to rest & vest.
- You can’t commit to intense weeks (we sometimes run 6-day sprints).
- You’re not among the top 5% builders in your network.
- You can’t be in the office 3 days/week (hybrid in SF Bay Area).
Must Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in a solutions engineering, pre-sales engineering, or similar client-facing technical role is beneficial but not strictly required. We welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds who can demonstrate the necessary skills and aptitude.
- Basic understanding of AI/ML concepts, particularly in natural language processing and unstructured data analysis.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Perks & benefits
- Epic offsites (e.g., Napa Valley Wine Train, speed sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge).
- Daily lunch stipend—order what you actually want.
- Medical, dental, vision, and standard insurance.
- Hybrid work: in-office collaboration + focused WFH days.
