Associate Forward Deployed Engineer — Fintech

Learn to deliver financial applications for customers

SweetTech builds financial applications on SweetOS, our platform of reusable capabilities. This is an early-career role with on-the-job training and guidance from experienced engineers. We welcome evidence from coursework, personal projects, internships, open-source contributions, or professional work.

How we build applications

You will work through SweetTech’s autonomous agentic development systems. These systems carry out implementation; your primary responsibility is to define intent, understand the application architecture, direct the agents, and validate the result rather than write application code directly.

SweetOS provides reusable building blocks for assembling applications repeatedly. A capability developed for one application can be made available to other applications through shared components and well-defined interfaces. You will learn how those building blocks fit together, how applications use shared capabilities, and where a change belongs so it can benefit more than one product.

This requires strong engineering judgment: break down requirements, specify behavior and constraints, understand data flows and permissions, review agent-generated changes, and verify correctness, security, and production readiness. You will validate your work with guidance and escalate uncertainty; experienced engineers retain architectural and production approval responsibilities.

SweetTech has its own Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agentic Development Life Cycle. You will learn and follow these internal processes when defining work, directing autonomous agents, validating results, and delivering changes. Understanding our architecture and working within these development lifecycles are core responsibilities of the role.

Your role and responsibilities

• Help an experienced forward deployed engineer turn customer requirements into defined application tasks and acceptance checks.

• Assemble application flows and configure shared building blocks through our autonomous development systems.

• Support integrations, data validation, testing, and troubleshooting with guidance from the team.

• Join supervised customer meetings, take clear notes, ask useful questions, and demonstrate scoped work.

• Reproduce reported issues, communicate findings, and verify fixes before a reviewer approves release.

• Document configurations and reusable capabilities so future deployments benefit from the work.

What you bring

• Software fundamentals: an understanding of APIs, data models, testing, debugging, and how frontend and backend components work together.

• Evidence of completing a technical project and explaining your own contribution, decisions, and lessons learned.

• Curiosity, clear communication, willingness to ask questions, and the ability to act on review feedback.

• Interest in autonomous agentic development and the discipline to verify generated work rather than accept it without checking.

You do not need prior experience with SweetOS or our internal lifecycles. We will teach our architecture, building blocks, development processes, and tools on the job.

How you will grow

Start with well-defined configurations, flows, and integrations, supported by mentoring and review. Develop customer communication and architectural understanding as you gain experience. Success means accurate implementation, clear handovers, careful validation, and growing independence; experienced engineers retain customer commitments and production approval.

Equity participation

Proposed total stock option grant: 6,000–10,000 options, vesting over four years with a one-year cliff. This is a total grant, not an annual award or an ownership percentage. The final grant is subject to board approval, confirmation of the applicable share basis, and the company’s equity plan and grant terms.

On-the-job training

Our on-the-job training program covers SweetTech’s internal processes, Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), Agentic Development Life Cycle, agentic technology stack, and SweetOS operations. You will learn how to work with our autonomous development systems, navigate the application architecture, compose and reuse building blocks, and follow our workflows for validating and delivering changes.

Training includes guided work on real tasks, feedback from experienced team members, and practical learning in operating and troubleshooting SweetOS applications. Responsibilities will grow with your demonstrated understanding and readiness. Prior knowledge of SweetTech’s internal systems is not required.
