The Role
We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to operate at the critical boundary between customer ambition and product reality.
The FDE is a customer-embedded product owner responsible for converting high-stakes Proofs of Concept (POCs) into structured, shippable product decisions under commercial time pressure. You run an outcome-driven delivery loop that determines whether work becomes core product, a repeatable capability, or is explicitly sunset.
This role ensures innovation strengthens the platform — rather than fragmenting it.
What You’ll Do
Own the POC-to-Product Loop
Translate ambiguous customer requirements into structured Product Requirements Documents (PRDs)
Define sequencing, acceptance criteria, and measurable definitions of “done”
Scope and prioritize within constrained POC timelines
Define user workflows, metric definitions, dimensions, and success criteria
Partner with Engineering in a build → deploy → measure → iterate cadence
Identify and reconcile deltas between intended and observed system behavior
Drive formal decisioning: productize, standardize, or stop
Drive Structured Execution
Prioritize scope in partnership with Engineering
Unblock technical and product decisions
Maintain alignment between commercial expectations and engineering delivery
Protect product integrity while operating under time pressure
Apply Analytics & Insight Rigor
Ensure metrics and instrumentation accurately reflect customer intent
Validate that data models represent what stakeholders believe they represent
Use quantitative and qualitative evidence to drive product decisions
Translate complex system behavior into clear, high-impact narratives for technical and executive audiences
Tell compelling, data-driven stories that align stakeholders around outcomes
Risk Mitigation & Systems Thinking
FDEs safeguard Conviva against common failure modes in customer-driven innovation:
Drift between Sales expectations and Engineering delivery
Unbounded bespoke work without a path to productization
Ambiguous or misaligned measurement definitions
Core engineering bottlenecks created by configuration complexity
You act as the control mechanism that keeps delivery disciplined, measurable, and scalable.
Who You Are
Required
5+ years in Product Management, Forward Deployed Engineering, Sales Engineering or a similar role with strong product ownership
Demonstrated experience translating ambiguity into executable requirements
Strong technical fluency and ability to colla
