How a Zip forward deployed engineer works

Zip's posting says the team "operates close to the customer, moves with urgency, and builds the features that determine whether the biggest deals close on time."

FDEs work alongside a Field PM and Solutions Consultants. They own scope and delivery. With the core product teams, they decide what to build and what to push back on.

You will be on calls with procurement, finance and IT teams. The posting asks for solid software engineering experience.
