We’re looking for an exceptional Forward Deployed Engineer to help build the future of AI-powered software creation. You will be a founding member of our FDE function, working directly with our most ambitious customers to translate impossible ideas into real products. This is a unique opportunity to design a new discipline from scratch and solve problems with AI that no one has solved before.
What makes this role special?
- This isn’t a traditional software engineering role.
- Be one of the first Forward Deployed Engineers at Lovable.
- Create a new function at the intersection of engineering, product, customer success, and research.
- Partner with customers building never-seen-before AI systems.
- Build product features based on real-world behaviours and emerging patterns.
- Influence our core product direction and technical roadmap.
If you want to invent new categories, not just improve existing ones - this is that role.
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years of experience building and shipping full-stack products.
- Proficiency in modern frontend (React/TypeScript) and robust backend development.
- Strong architectural thinking and familiarity with distributed systems.
- Ability to rapidly prototype, experiment, and learn from real usage.
- Exceptional product intuition and ability to work directly with users.
- Comfort operating in high-ambiguity, high-agency environments.
Bonus if you’ve:
- Worked on agentic AI systems or built with LLMs before.
- Led zero-to-one product development.
- Worked in a founding or early startup environment.
What you’ll do:
- Deploy intelligence into the real world.
- Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, needs, and problems.
- Design and implement solutions for our customers that integrate with Lovable.
- Translate insights from real usage into foundational platform improvements.
- Own projects end-to-end — from idea → architecture → shipping → iteration.
- Shape how Forward Deployed Engineering works at Lovable (rituals, playbooks, org design).
- Contribute to core product strategy, technical decisions, and cultural foundations.
Our Tech Stack:
- Frontend: React, Typescript.
- Backend: Golang & Rust.
- Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, multiple LLM providers.
- Tooling: Github Actions, OTEL, Grafana, Terraform, and more.
Always evolving with what works best.
