Job description

Push the boundaries of what Coveo can do, one solution at a time

How do you turn ambitious use cases into real, working solutions that prove their value fast? As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you bring ideas to life through hands-on prototyping, transforming complex requirements into tangible, high-impact solutions.

You’ll operate at the edge of what’s possible with Coveo, working directly with customers and internal teams to validate new use cases, push product boundaries, and shape what comes next, before it reaches production.

As our Forward Deployed Engineer, you will:

  • Disambiguate and refine customer needs and requirements to shape a clear and compelling use case and solution
  • Build working prototypes and technical proofs based on approved use cases and architectures
  • Translate business and architectural requirements into functional, testable solutions
  • Validate feasibility, performance, and scalability through hands-on experimentation
  • Iterate quickly to refine solutions and accelerate readiness for production
  • Collaborate closely with Technical Engagement Managers and Technical Success Architects to ensure alignment with architectural direction
  • Generate reusable solution patterns and share implementation insights across teams

Here is what will qualify you for the role:

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, system integration, or related fields
  • Strong ability to prototype across application programming interfaces (API), data pipelines, and front-end/back-end systems
  • Experience working in ambiguous, high-impact environments requiring rapid iteration
  • Strong problem-solving skills with an experimentation-driven mindset

What will make you stand out:

  • Experience working directly with customers in technical, solution-oriented roles
  • Ability to navigate between business context and deep technical execution
  • Curiosity and drive to explore new approaches and push product capabilities further
  • Experience contributing insights that influence product or platform evolution

Do you think you can bring this role to life? Or add your own color?
You don’t need to check every single box; passion goes a long way and we appreciate that skillsets are transferable.
