Superblocks is reimagining software development for a billion builders. Our mission is to help every team build, deploy, and manage AI-powered software with full control and flexibility.

Why Join Us?

We’re one of the fastest-growing AI startups, backed by top-tier investors and widely adopted by companies like Instacart, Sofi, Betterment, and Carrier. Our team comes from Uber, Stripe, Datadog, Confluent, Elastic, and Google, and has founded/architected systems like Kafka, Kibana, Debezium, Datadog APM, and more.

Since launching Clark, our AI builder, the response has been overwhelming with strong adoption from enterprises across different industries.

We’re fully in-person at our NYC HQ near Union Square and are looking for exceptional engineers who are passionate about creating great products.

The Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be a critical interface between our product and our most strategic enterprise customers. This is not a traditional customer success or sales engineering role - it's a unique position that requires deep technical expertise, strategic thinking, and the ability to drive transformative solutions.

Responsibilites:

  • Embed directly with enterprise customers to architect and implement complex internal tool solutions
  • Develop custom integrations, workflows, and applications using our platform that solve mission-critical business challenges
  • Act as a technical advisor, translating complex customer requirements into scalable, innovative solutions
  • Prototype and demonstrate advanced platform capabilities in high-stakes customer environments
  • Provide real-time product feedback to our engineering team, directly influencing our product roadmap
  • Create technical documentation, implementation guides, and reference architectures
  • Navigate complex enterprise technical landscapes and organizational dynamics

Must have:

  • 3-5 years of full-stack software engineering experience
  • A proven ability to rapidly prototype and develop production-ready applications
  • Expert-level programming skills in at least two languages (Python and Javascript/TypeScript preferred)
  • A strong understanding of modern cloud architectures and distributed systems
  • Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous technical environments
  • Exceptional communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, ECE, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience
  • Proficiency in modern web technologies and full-stack application development
  • Hands-on experience with integration development and API design
  • Understanding of security best practices in enterprise environments
  • Demonstrated ability to work with complex data pipelines and transformations

The base salary ranges between $125,000–$150,000 USD, plus a generous equity package. Final comp will be based on experience and skills.

If you’re excited to build the experience that can enable the next billion builders and AI-powered apps, let’s talk.
