Who You Will Be Working With
You'll be part of PMG's Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team of senior, customer-facing engineers that operate at the intersection of business problems, technology, and platform innovation.
FDE partners deeply with priority customers, Vertical leaders, Client Strategy, Analytics, Product, and Engineering to solve complex, high-impact challenges that don't fit standard playbooks. The team builds custom technical solutions, within the PMG Operating System (Alli), sometimes integrating with Alli from a sandbox environment, and sometimes outside the platform entirely. Remaining focused on driving meaningful business outcomes and shaping what becomes scalable over time.
This is a small, senior group designed for depth over breadth, operating where clarity is earned through execution, not documentation.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Forward Deployed Engineering Principal, you will operate as a senior individual contributor with enterprise-level influence. Your work will center on solving real customer business problems through technology, not maintaining or extending a predefined product roadmap.
Partner deeply with priority customers and PMG leadership to understand material business challenges, constraints, and opportunities.Translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical approaches and working solutions.Design and deliver custom technical solutions across data, measurement, workflows, mobile, and platform integrations.Operate hands-on in solution design and build, using modern tools, AI-assisted coding, and best practices to move quickly without sacrificing quality.Advise customers and internal teams on feasibility, tradeoffs, and technical direction.Identify patterns, learnings, and approaches that can inform reusable accelerators or future platform capabilities.Influence product and platform evolution by feeding validated insights back into PMG's broader technology ecosystem.Support high-impact moments such as strategic pitches, QBRs, and new business efforts where technical clarity materially changes the outcome.Use AI, automation, and technology to elevate the quality and efficiency of work, streamline processes, and enable faster, more informed decision-making in your role.What You'll Bring
We're not looking for a traditional software engineer profile. We're looking for someone who is technically fluent, business-curious, and comfortable building in ambiguity.
You'll be successful in this role if you bring:
Strong technical literacy and the ability to design, evaluate, and build solutions without needing to be the deepest specialist in any single language or framework.Experience solving real business problems with technology, not just implementing predefined requirements.Comfort working across systems, data flows, APIs, and platforms, including modern cloud and measurement environments.8+ year experience in customer-facing or consultative technical roles (e.g., forward deployed engineering, solutions architecture, technical consulting, sales engineering, or similar).The ability to reason about tradeoffs, feasibility, and risk when the "right answer" isn't obvious.A bias toward execution: you're comfortable moving from problem to prototype to production quickly.Familiarity with AI-assisted and agentic coding tools, and the judgment to use them effectively within standards and best practices.Strong communication skills, especially the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.A track record of influencing decisions without direct authority.Curiosity, adaptability, and comfort operating where the path to value isn't fully defined upfront.An understanding that reuse, scale, and platform contribution are earned through impact—not assumed at the start.What We Offer
Professional Development: Take advantage of our learning and development programs, mentorship opportunities, and career advancement support.Benefits vary by country, location, and geography to reflect local laws, norms, and expectations.
