Forward Deployed Engineer

HackerRank helps thousands of companies like OpenAI, NVIDIA, Mercedes and Amazon hire developers based on their skills vs. pedigree, and also nurtures a community of millions of developers to upskill themselves to become next-gen developers.

The people at HackerRank care deeply about their work and have an extremely intense work ethic. In many companies, speed & quality is a tradeoff. At HackerRank, it’s not -- we expect you to ship in about half the time that most competent people think is possible while maintaining a standard of quality you’d proudly sign your name on. The only way to make this happen is if you truly love your craft and are deeply committed to growth.

What you’ll do

• Lead high-impact demos, technical presentations, and onsite engagements with customers to design and build scalable solutions that showcase how HackerRank transforms complex hiring and upskilling challenges into simple, skills-based workflows.


• Work onsite with customers, engineers, recruiters, and business leaders to uncover developer hiring and training needs and shape the right solution to fit their goals.


• Use AI tools and new technologies to deliver solutions faster and improve how HackerRank supports and engages its customers.


• Collaborate across product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to deliver the full impact of HackerRank’s developer skills platform to every customer interaction.

Who you are

• A full-stack builder comfortable working with web applications, IDEs, APIs, back-end services, and developer tools and technologies. 


• Confident speaking onsite with enterprise customers, whether it’s delivering a demo,  gathering requirements, and turning them into high-impact workflows and solutions.


• A clear communicator who can go deep with engineers or simplify for non-technical crowds.


• You bring energy, creativity, and a problem-solver’s mindset to every customer engagement.

Even better if you have

• Experience as a software, solutions, or sales engineer working with HR tech, ATS platforms, IDEs, developer tools, API-first or integration-heavy systems.


• Project management chops.  Ultra organized, you can set (and meet) project deadlines.

You will thrive in this role if

• You love mixing engineering, consulting, and delivery, owning every step of the journey. 


• You want every project to feel like a new challenge.


• You set and uphold high standards for excellence for yourself and those around you.

Compensation

• Base salary range: $160,000–$185,000.


• This range doesn’t include commissions, bonuses, stock options, or benefits. 


• Final offer may vary based on skills, experience, location, and other compensation components.
