Halluminate Halluminate seeks a Member of Technical Staff - Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with customers to translate requirements into RL environment software. The role involves prototyping, embedding with project pods, and supporting revenue creation through engineering.

Responsibilities

Base: $200–275k · Equity: 0.15–0.30% · Location: San Francisco, 5 days in office
Our FDEs will interface directly with our customers at AI Labs and Enterprises. You will sit in the customer research meetings, understand the intent behind the requests, and create software that drives forward $xMM projects. The work is a mix of client facing, 0 to 1, rapid prototyping, and product scaling with core platform teams. Your engineering will directly support revenue creation and frontier intelligence scaling.
Work directly with frontier AI labs and enterprise customers to understand requirements and what they need from an RL environment
Translate customer requirements into concrete technical specs our platform and project pods can build against.
Build 0→1 — prototype, ship, and iterate on customer-specific environments and tooling before any of it becomes a platform feature.
Use and extend our internal platforms and dev tooling rather than rebuilding them.
Embed with SPL project pods to unblock delivery: integration, technical debugging, and the last-mile problems that decide whether a project lands.
Feed patterns back to the platform team so one-off solutions become reusable capability.
Own technical credibility in customer conversations, from scoping through delivery.
2+ years of experience in consulting or forward-deployed engineering roles for large enterprises with custom software, systems, and requirements
Strong engineering ability paired with genuine comfort interacting directly in front of customers
A track record of 0→1 work: shipping something that did not exist, under ambiguity, without waiting for a spec.
