Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) — Bengaluru

$30,000–$55,000 USD per year + 0.05%–0.5% equity. Full-time, in person in Bengaluru.
You'll take enterprise software implementations from the first customer conversation to a working system in production. You'll work directly with customers and consulting teams, use Lab0's agents to do the work, and write code when the product needs to go further.
About Lab0
Lab0 builds AI agents that help consulting firms and enterprise teams implement software. Our agents work across discovery, requirements, configuration, integrations, data migration, testing, and changes after go-live.
What you'll own
Understand how a customer's business works. Run discovery sessions, map workflows, and turn incomplete or conflicting requirements into a clear implementation plan.
Build and ship. Configure enterprise platforms, write integrations and connectors, migrate data, and build the workflows needed to make a system useful.
Use AI agents throughout delivery. Build reusable tools, skills, and automations, check their output, and improve them when they fail.
Prove the implementation works. Define acceptance criteria with the customer, test real workflows and edge cases, debug failures, and support user acceptance testing and go-live.
Own communication with the people using and approving the system. Explain tradeoffs, run demos, manage scope, and keep delivery moving.
Make the next implementation easier. Turn recurring customer problems into product improvements and reusable capabilities with the founding team.
Who we're looking for
3+ years of experience in software engineering or technical implementation, with work you've personally shipped.
Strong coding and debugging skills. You're comfortable with APIs, databases, integrations, and learning an unfamiliar codebase or enterprise platform.
Comfort working directly with customers. You ask useful questions, explain technical decisions clearly, and can move from a business problem to a working solution.
Regular use of AI coding tools and agents, with judgment about how to test and verify what they produce.
Ownership through the messy parts of delivery. You follow through, surface problems early, and care whether the customer can actually use what you've built.
Previous consulting or systems integration experience is appreciated, especially if you have delivered customer implementations yourself. Experience with Salesforce, SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or other enterprise platforms is a plus.
Why join
You'll work directly with the founders, own customer implementations end to end, and influence what we build next. Your work will feed back into the product: a tool, integration, or workflow you build for one customer can improve delivery for the next.
Show us your work
Tell us about a system or implementation you personally shipped: the customer problem, what you built, a difficult tradeoff or failure, and the result. Share code, a demo, or a technical write-up where you can.
