The posting

TL;DR – We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineering Lead to help scale the future of AI-powered software creation. You'll build and lead the FDE team and partner with our most ambitious customers to turn ideas into real products. This is still a hands-on role: you'll design, write, and ship production code alongside your team, while partnering with our other FDE leaders to shape how the function operates globally. It's a unique opportunity to scale a new discipline from scratch and solve problems that no one has solved before.

Why Lovable?

Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we're just getting started.

We're building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

Lovable is one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe's fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software.

About the role

Most engineering leadership roles move you away from the code. This one keeps you close to the craft and the customer.

You'll build, develop, and lead a team of Forward Deployed Engineers who partner with our customers at the frontier of what Lovable can do, solving hard technical problems across our frontend, backend and AI systems. The goal isn't just to make individual deployments succeed. It's to spot what should become part of the Lovable platform and act on it.

As one of a small group of FDE leaders, you'll set the technical bar for the function and help define how it scales, from its engineering standards and ways of working to how it works with customers and our core product teams.

If you want to build an exceptional engineering team without stepping away from building yourself, this is that role.

What we're looking for

- 12+ years across software engineering, technical architecture, and customer-facing engineering

- Experience leading and developing high-performing technical teams

- A track record of remaining deeply hands-on as your leadership scope has grown

- Strong full-stack engineering fundamentals, including React and TypeScript on the frontend and robust backend development

- Strong architectural thinking and familiarity with distributed systems

- Experience owning complex technical engagements end-to-end

- Exceptional product intuition and ability to work directly with users

- Ability to move comfortably between writing code, making architectural decisions, leading engineers, and working with senior stakeholders

- Comfort operating with high ambiguity, agency, and velocity

Bonus if you've:

- Scaled a team or technical function from zero

- Worked on agentic AI systems or built with LLMs in production

- Led zero-to-one product development

- Worked in a founding or early startup environment

- Worked across high-growth startups, big tech, consulting, or enterprise AI

What you'll do

- Build, develop, and lead a team of Forward Deployed Engineers

- Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, needs, and hardest technical problems

- Design, prototype, and implement solutions alongside your team

- Own and guide projects end-to-end, from discovery and architecture through shipping and iteration

- Set the technical bar through architecture decisions, code reviews, and hands-on engineering

- Translate insights from customer deployments into foundational platform improvements

- Partner with other FDE leads to shape the function's engineering standards, rituals, and playbooks as it scales globally

- Contribute to core product strategy, technical decisions, and cultural foundations

Our Tech Stack

- Backend: Golang & Rust

- Frontend: React, TypeScript

- Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, multiple LLM providers

- Tooling: GitHub Actions, OTEL, Grafana, Terraform, and more

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
