About Us
We believe that every business action can be enhanced through intelligent automation. Our versatile and intuitive AI tools are designed to fully equip enterprises, freeing team members from manual, mundane tasks, and unlocking opportunities for more engaging, fulfilling work.
At Extend, we want to transform the way work is done entirely — by allowing our customers to design, outline, and perfect their business processes with just a few clicks.
Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and driven towards the mission as we are.
The Role
As a Founding Forward Deployed Engineer at Extend, you’ll act as the primary interface between the customer and Extend. You will help each customer integrate with our unstructured data extraction workflows (and other products in the future) while also helping relay and prioritize customer feedback that you are receiving to the rest of the team.
You will:
Lead integrating the Extend platform with our customers and ensure that each customer is able to successfully go-live.
Be involved in sales, engineering, and product management to help customers go live and synthesize feedback.
Help make architecture decisions to implement the best human ↔ AI interfaces for enterprise operations. We are building a new territory of UX that previously did not exist. It’s up to us to discover and implement new patterns that work for our users.
Have complete ownership over the work you do — as a founding team member, you’ll have the opportunity to truly own large areas of product, engineering, and sales and have direct relationship with customers.
Work directly with the CEO, CTO, and other founding members and help build out our team.
Our tech stack:
NextJS + Vercel (Frontend)
tRPC (API)
NodeJS + Express (Backend)
Postgres DB + objection.js ORM
Completely in TypeScript
If you, like us, believe that AI can transform the way enterprises work, and you want to be an entrepreneur or founder one day, this role is a great fit for you!
About You
Experience building, and being part of, world-class enterprise software products — You’ve worked on some of the best enterprise software products in the world and you have a track record of building intuitive experiences for large customers.
Entrepreneurial drive — You’re able to work without explicit direction, at times. As a founding member, you’ll be expected to be OK with the level of ambiguity that comes with an early-stage startup while also seeking out solutions to problems.
Strong communicator — As an early-stage startup, there will be lots of changes and ambiguity in the beginning. You should be comfortable sharing your feedback early, and often, and you should be comfortable bringing up product ideas frequently.
Adaptable — This role is a mix of software engineering, product management, and sales and even if you don’t have experience in all three, you have the drive to learn and get better at each.
Benefits
Top-of-the-market compensation — At Extend, we will offer top-of-the-market (90th+ percentile) compensation in both cash and equity. We believe that the best candidates deserve the best compensation, and we will ensure that it happens.
High impact — You’ll be joining as founding member of the team, and as such you will have a high level of ownership and influence over the direction of the company.
All-around experience — You’ll be on the front lines and as such, you’ll get first-hand experience with engineering, product management, and sales / marketing while also getting lots of face time with the end users.
