About Jetson
Jetson is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100 million homes across North America away from fossil fuels toward sustainable energy use. We believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better. Homes are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, yet adoption of solutions like heat pumps remains slow due to cost and complexity. Jetson is solving this by building the first fully vertically integrated home electrification company — making clean energy simple, transparent, and affordable. We rely heavily on technology, automation, and data to scale this impact. At Jetson, we value people who are excellent at their craft, curious about new tools (including AI), and motivated to continuously improve how work gets done.
The Opportunity
We're building a new kind of role to help us scale: the Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE). As an FDE on our Supply Chain team, your customers are Jetson's own teams. You'll sit with them, learn their work deeply, and build the agents, tools, and automations that change how they operate. Instead of routing every request through a central engineering backlog, we put engineers inside the teams that need help. You hear the problem firsthand, build the fix, and iterate the next day. FDEs across functions build on a shared internal platform alongside core engineering, so every automation you ship makes the next one faster. The more we deploy, the faster we can deploy.
Who You Are
- A builder who ships. Strong engineering fundamentals, good judgment, and a drive to get things into people's hands. You're fluent in TypeScript, Python, or other high‑level language, comfortable with SQL, APIs, and cloud tooling, and you write code others can build on. You value breadth and speed over deep specialization.
- An excellent communicator. You can sit with purchasing, planning, and warehouse stakeholders, draw out what they actually need, explain tradeoffs, and drive a project to adoption.
- A fast learner who's excited by the domain. You're energized by getting deep into how Supply Chain works: its workflows, systems, and constraints. Familiarity with procurement, inventory, demand planning, or logistics, or with ERP/WMS/PLM systems (we use NetSuite, RF Smart, and Arena), is a plus, but what matters more is the drive and ability to learn it fast.
- AI‑native. AI is core to how you build. You've built agentic and LLM‑powered features, and you understand the real challenges: latency, cost, reliability, evaluation, and graceful failure.
- Comfortable without a playbook. You thrive where the problem isn't fully defined. You'd rather ship something useful this week and improve it than perfect it for a quarter.
What You'll Do
- Embed and learn the domain. Sit with the team, observe the work, and build real fluency in how Supply Chain operates.
- Build agents that automate real work. Find supply chain workflows that AI agents can handle or accelerate, then design, build, and ship them.
- Connect systems and keep data flowing. You'll build and maintain integrations and automations that keep inventory positions, PO status, BOM updates, and warehouse transactions flowing accurately.
- Build dashboards and tools. Give purchasing, planning, warehouse, and leadership clear, real‑time visibility.
- Always be scoping. Question requirements directly with the team.
- Generalize into the platform. Push reusable capabilities into the shared internal platform alongside other FDEs and core engineering.
How You Will Grow
- Become a rare kind of engineer. Few people can connect a messy real‑world domain, the data under it, and software people actually adopt.
- See the whole business. Embedded in Supply Chain and plugged into the core platform, you'll understand how Jetson works end to end.
- Help define a new discipline at Jetson. You'll set the patterns, platform, and standards for how forward deployed engineering works here.
