Forward Deployed Engineer
TL;DR – We’re looking for an exceptional Forward Deployed Engineer to help build the future of AI-powered software creation. You will be the founding member of our FDE function, working directly with our most ambitious customers to translate impossible ideas into real products. This is a unique opportunity to design a new discipline from scratch and solve problems with AI that no one has solved before.
Why Lovable?
Lovable lets anyone build software with plain English. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 teams, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products — fast. We are at the forefront of a fundamental shift in how software is created: from code-first to intelligence-first.
Over 2 million people in 200+ countries already use Lovable to launch businesses, automate workflows, and bring their ideas to life. And we’re just getting started.
We’re a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Stockholm. We operate with high ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We care deeply, move fast, and are here to build something that outlives us.
What makes this role special?
This isn’t a traditional software engineering role.
You will:
Be the first Forward Deployed Engineer at Lovable
Create a new function at the intersection of engineering, product, customer success, and research
Partner with customers building never-seen-before AI systems
Build product features based on real-world behaviors and emerging patterns
Influence our core product direction and technical roadmap
If you want to invent new categories, not just improve existing ones - this is that role.
What we’re looking for
5+ years of experience building and shipping full-stack products
Proficiency in modern frontend (React/TypeScript) and robust backend development
Strong architectural thinking and familiarity with distributed systems
Ability to rapidly prototype, experiment, and learn from real usage
Exceptional product intuition and ability to work directly with users
Comfort operating in high-ambiguity, high-agency environments
Bonus if you’ve:
Worked on agentic AI systems or built with LLMs before
Led zero-to-one product development
Worked in a founding or early startup environment
What you’ll do
In one sentence: Deploy intelligence into the real world.
Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, needs, and problems
Design and implement solutions for our customers that integrate with Lovable
Translate insights from real usage into foundational platform improvements
Own projects end-to-end — from idea → architecture → shipping → iteration
Shape how Forward Deployed Engineering works at Lovable (rituals, playbooks, org design)
Contribute to core product strategy, technical decisions, and cultural foundations
