The role
03We're seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer embedded directly inside customer engineering teams, writing the code, building the tooling, integrations and configurations needed to get Blockstream's products into production. Additionally you ship what you build back into the core product. Operating within the Consulting Services organization, the Forward Deployed Engineer partners closely with Product Management, Engineering, Enterprise Sales, and Delivery teams to help customers successfully implement and adopt Blockstream's products. This is not a traditional configuration or support role. You will spend significant time working directly alongside customer engineering, operations, and technology teams, often onsite, to understand complex banking environments, solve technical challenges, and deliver production-ready solutions.
01Customer Delivery & Implementation
02AI-first prototyping: Use AI-assisted development to stand up minimum viable solutions or proof of concepts on short turnaround notice, proving Enterprise Product value early in an engagement and hardening the winning prototypes into use case based playbooks
03Tech Pre-Sales: Support Enterprise Sales in technical pre-sales, RFP/RFI and security questionnaire responses; contribute to SOW scoping, effort estimation, and scope-change management
04Delivery: Own the technical delivery of Blockstream enterprise software from project kickoff through production deployment and post launch support
05Financial Institutions: Work directly with financial institutions to understand business processes, operational workflows, and technical environments
06Configure, deploy, and optimize Blockstream products based on customer requirements and approved solution designs
07Success Criteria: Execute implementation planning, system configuration, testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), production deployment, and post-go-live support.
08Define success criteria, milestones and own implementation
09Deliver administrator and end-user enablement sessions to ensure successful customer adoption
10Enterprise integration: Integrate with core banking and capital-markets systems
11Controlled environments: Deploy into on-premise, network-isolated, and air-gapped banking environments under formal change control, producing the security and audit evidence that compliance and pen-test reviews require
12Design and implement integrations between Blockstream enterprise products and customer systems using required integration interfaces and data pipeline technologies
13Troubleshoot complex technical, configuration, and integration challenges throughout the implementation lifecycle
14Work closely with customer engineering teams to ensure secure, scalable, and production-ready deployments
15Develop reusable deployment assets, implementation playbooks, technical documentation, and best practices
16Collaborate closely with Engineering to resolve product issues and improve implementation quality
17Embed directly with customer teams to gain a deep understanding of their operating environment and technical challenges
18Facilitate technical workshops, architecture discussions, and implementation planning sessions
19Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the implementation lifecycle
20Build strong relationships across customer Technology, Operations, Security, and Engineering functions
21Turn implementation learnings, customer feedback, and product enhancement opportunities into code
22Identify repeatable deployment patterns across engagements and contribute to standardized implementation methodologies
23Partner with Product Management and Engineering to shape the roadmap and improve platform capabilities based on real customer implementations
24Help accelerate customer time-to-production through continuous improvement of deployment frameworks and best practices
