[Hiring] Forward Deployed Engineer @Onboarded

Role Description

When a staffing firm or high-volume employer signs with Onboarded, the contract is the starting line. Their compliance work has to run, and run right: I-9 and E-Verify, background checks, state and federal forms, tax credits, union agreements, credentials. Every customer's version is different. We're looking for engineers to embed with our direct customers and build those workflows end to end.

• Embed with two or three strategic customer accounts at a time.
• Learn how their hiring works across states, worker types, and systems.
• Build it on Onboarded: forms as code, policies, automations, and integrations to their ATS, HRIS, and payroll.
• Own the build from first discovery through go-live.
• Answer for how fast the customer goes live and whether the work is right.
• Turn implementation into reusable code packages.
• Use AI as a force multiplier.

Qualifications

• A builder who ships.
• 3+ years writing production code in a modern stack (TypeScript, Python or similar).
• Real integration skills: APIs, webhooks, authentication, data models.
• Customer-facing by choice.
• Precision that holds up: compliance work cannot be wrong.
• AI-first operator: use AI tools to write code and analyze requirements.
• Product judgment: translate customer needs into clear builds.
• Experience in staffing, ATS or HRIS software, payroll, or employment compliance is a strong signal but not required.

Requirements

• Ability to run discovery with HR directors and debug payroll syncs.
• Deliver both speed and accuracy in compliance work.
• Own the outcome and see work run in the real world.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity in a fast-growing startup.
• Health, dental, vision, and retirement benefits.
• Remote-first culture with optional in-person collaboration.
• A chance to build workflows for some of the largest employers and staffing firms in the country.

How to Apply

Send a short introduction + your resume, LinkedIn or GitHub to [email protected] . Include how you use AI tools in your day-to-day work, and one story about something you built inside a customer's environment: what was messy, what you built, and what it changed. Bonus points if you tell us how you'd decide whether a customer request should be a one-off configuration or a reusable package.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
