| Aspect | Internship Forward Deployed Engineer | Software Engineer Intern |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically pursuing or recent graduate in Computer Science or related field | Typically pursuing or recent graduate in Computer Science or related field |
| Work Environment | Hands-on deployment, customer interaction, real-time problem solving | Development, coding, testing in a lab or office setting |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Tech companies, especially those with hardware or cloud services | Software companies, startups, tech giants |
| Search & Comparison Intent | Understanding deployment-focused internship roles | General software development internship roles |
The Internship Forward Deployed Engineer role focuses on deploying solutions directly with customers, involving real-time problem solving and deployment tasks. In contrast, a Software Engineer Intern typically works on software development, coding, and testing in a more controlled environment. Both roles require a background in computer science but differ in their focus on deployment versus development tasks.

About us

We're an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of AI and have raised $60M in Series C funding from Wellington Management, CRV, Next47 and Y Combinator.
The role
We're looking for an exceptional Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join our product engineering team. This is an engineering-first role: FDEs are the technical owners who take the Encord platform into our most strategic and advanced customer environments, working directly with clients' engineering teams to identify problems and design, build, and ship the solutions that solve them.
As an early member of the Forward Deployed team, you'll have an outsized impact on shaping a critical function for Encord and our customers, in a role that combines hands-on engineering with direct client ownership. You’ll do tough system design calls under real customer load, and customers will trust you to get their hardest integration and workflow problems actually solved. You’ll operate autonomously, defining your own path to a solution, managing client relationships directly, and feeding what you learn straight back into the product roadmap.
What you'll do
Own the end-to-end deployment of the Encord platform for our most strategic customers
Build data integrations and technical solutions to support customer onboarding and adoption
Guide customers with best practices, run demos, and host workshops
Communicate project plans and progress to both technical teams and executive stakeholders
Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and commercial teams to feed customer insights back into the roadmap
Help define and scale the Forward Deployed function as an early team member
Who we're looking for
Design and ship high-quality, production-grade code that integrates Encord into customers' most complex data and ML pipelines
Own system design decisions for customer deployments, balancing correctness, scalability, and speed
Work directly with clients' engineering teams to diagnose problems, scope solutions, and ship fixes end-to-end
Build data integrations and technical solutions that support customer onboarding, adoption, and scale at pace
Communicate technical plans and tradeoffs clearly to both engineering counterparts and non-technical stakeholders
Operate with a high degree of autonomy: identify the right problem to solve, decide how to solve it, and see it through with minimal oversight
Collaborate with product and engineering to feed customer insights back into the roadmap
Help define and scale the Forward Deployed function as an early team member
Experience requirements
3–8 years in a software engineering role; Python is a big plus
Experience building or working with data integrations and APIs
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Ability to thrive in ambiguity and take ownership without being told what to do
Prior experience at a high-growth startup is a plus
Why Encord
Competitive salary, commission, and meaningful equity in a high-growth startup
Clear, accelerated growth opportunities as the company scales rapidly
Strong in-person culture: 4–5 days/week in our newly launched North Beach loft office
Flexible PTO to fully recharge
18 paid vacation days in the U.S. plus federal holidays
Annual learning & development budget
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
Frequent travel opportunities across the U.S., London, and Europe
Bi-annual company offsites, twice-weekly team lunches, and monthly socials
