Responsibilities


Kastle is hiring 4 Forward Deployed Engineers — the technical face of Kastle inside its most important enterprise mortgage accounts. You'll embed directly with customers (top-10 mortgage lenders), translate their compliance-heavy workflows into production AI agents on Kastle's platform, and own the customer relationship end-to-end. The first month is really just spent embedding yourself in the product — you have to be enough of an expert on the product that you can talk to the enterprises. The archetype: A strong software engineer who wants to be in the room with customers, not a solutions consultant who dabbles in code. 📋 What You'll Own Build, configure, and launch AI agents on Kastle's platform to handle real borrower workflows. Write production-grade backend and full-stack code (Python, Java, TypeScript) to integrate with loan servicing systems, data sources, and telephony platforms. Own the full agent development life cycle — prototype quickly, set up CI/CD, monitor live usage, iterate to targets, document best practices to speed future projects. Scope ambiguous customer asks — prototype quickly, iterate into stable deployments. Act as the technical face of Kastle in key accounts — build trust through speed, empathy, and impact. Feed customer learnings back into the core product — influence roadmap and reusable tooling. ✅ Requirements 3+ years of professional engineering experience. Sweet spot: 3–5 years, including 1+ year of customer-facing engineering experience. Strong Python, Java, or TypeScript — comfortable building APIs and backend systems. Strong work ethic + very high attention to detail. Owns projects end-to-end with limited or no guidance. Customer-centric confidence — comfortable with both business leaders and engineers. SF-based or willing to relocate immediately. 5 days/week in-person. Genuine interest in the mortgage / lending space. Cracked with AI tooling — Claude / Cursor / Codex daily. Profile (in priority order): Tier 1 — Software Engineers Who Want to Be Client-Facing Tier 2 — Palantir Forward-Deployed Engineers Tier 3 — Applied Engineers at AI Agent Companies Tier 4 — Impressive Fast-Moving Startups (Series A–C) Tier 5 — Big Tech with Zero-to-One Signal
