Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

The best way to learn what our platform should do next is to sit next to the people using it. That's this job. You'll embed with our customers, find where shipping reliable software is still too hard or too slow, and help build what Antithesis does next.

Responsibilities

• Almost every company we work with shows up with some version of this:
• "We're building a new system that we need to ship fast, but it can't fail. So every big change turns into weeks of careful review before we trust it. How can we use Antithesis to do this?"
• What We Need:
• You've spent real time building or operating serious systems software, where correctness matters and the failures are subtle. You know how systems break under concurrency, faults, and load in ways no test caught. The domain matters less than the instinct for where things go wrong.
• You've worked with customers as an engineer. You've been in the room where something's broken and you're the one who has to help, and you didn't hate it.
• You can read an unfamiliar codebase, instrument it, write a test, and debug something you've never seen before.
• When you hit a rough edge, you'd rather fix it than route around it. Here, your fix might ship to everyone.
• You can explain hard things to non-technical people without lecturing.
• You're up for five days a week in the office (DC, London, or SF) and occasional travel to our customers' offices.
• Bonus
• Experience with fuzzing, property-based testing, or chaos engineering. Time building the kind of software our customers build: fintech, databases, blockchain, event streaming, cloud infra, trading. Building internal tools for other engineers. A startup where the job changed every six months.
• Why this one's different

Additional Information

About Antithesis We're on a mission to redefine how modern distributed systems are tested and released. Our platform is trusted by engineering teams who demand rock-solid reliability, scalable performance, and deep technical visibility. Our platform doesn't just assure system correctness and reliability, it exists because developers need something better. If you've ever experienced the pain of a production outage, had a bad week on-call, or had a release delayed by weeks because of one killer bug - you'll understand exactly why we're doing what we do. If you're passionate about developer-first products, system resilience, and correctness, we'd love to talk.
