Forward Deployed Engineer - Addepar

The Role

We are looking for one of our first engineering hires in Singapore — a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who will play a critical role in shaping Addepar’s growth in the region.

Forward Deployed Engineers partner directly with key technical and strategic stakeholders at Addepar’s largest enterprise clients. From building custom data integrations to extending platform capabilities, FDEs operate with autonomy and ownership to deliver meaningful impact for our clients.

At Addepar, FDEs are not part of a services organization. Instead, they act as an extension of the platform, partnering with clients in a highly collaborative way, focused on outcomes rather than billable hours. You will join a global FDE team that continuously evaluates opportunities and priorities, ensuring we are solving the most important and impactful problems for our clients.

Applicants must have legal authorization to work in the country where this role is based on the first day of employment.

What You’ll Do

• Work in small, agile teams with minimal supervision, setting priorities and managing client interactions.
• Take full responsibility for the end-to-end delivery of high-value projects.
• Gain exposure to a wide variety of technical challenges, new technologies, and complex problem-solving opportunities.
• Turn lessons learned from client engagements into scalable, long-term solutions.
• Collaborate closely with Addepar’s engineering and product teams to share insights, inform design strategy, and contribute directly to our core product.
  
  

Who You Are

• Minimum 4+ years of experience as a professional Software Engineer.
• Proficiency in one or more object-oriented programming languages (Java and/or Python preferred), and/or compiled languages (Go, Rust, Scala preferred).
• Experience building systems with relational or NoSQL database storage.
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or another technical field, paired with professional software engineering experience.
• Strong ability to lead complex projects, manage timelines, and build strong working relationships.
• Comfortable working in cross-functional and collaborative team environments.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in one or more strongly typed server-side programming languages (e.g., Java, C++).
• Experience with distributed storage and execution frameworks (e.g., Arrow, Spark, Flink, Storm).

Why Join Us

This is a unique opportunity to be one of the first engineers at Addepar Singapore. You’ll have the chance to build innovative solutions for global clients, influence how we grow our presence in Asia, and collaborate with world-class teams across our international offices.
