Forward Deployed Engineer
At August, we’re building AI designed for one thing: helping law firms practice better. Unlike tools built for the AmLaw 100, our focus is on midsized firms — where efficiency, client service, and competitive advantage matter most.
Our platform helps lawyers draft, review, and analyze documents at scale, turning what used to take hours into minutes. We’re trusted by forward-thinking firms across the U.S., Australia, and Asia, and backed by leading investors (NEA, Pear VC, Stanford Law) to grow globally.
We move quickly, learn directly from clients, and believe that AI is transforming the practice of law.
THE OPPORTUNITY
August is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic lawyers’ reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform attorneys in third-party evaluations. We target mid-market law firms, automating legal work and enabling firms to offer our tools directly to clients. Join at an early stage as we scale agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and deliver outputs that exceed human-level accuracy—in real, high-stakes environments.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at August, you’ll embed with customers to turn ambiguous workflows into deployed, reliable solutions. You’ll scope, prototype, integrate, and operate production systems—owning the last mile from SSO and data ingestion to UX fit and pilot success. You’ll work directly with founders, engineers, and legal experts to ship measurable value fast and upstream your wins into the core product.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own customer deployments end-to-end: run discovery, define success metrics, and deliver pilots that convert to expansion.
- Build and integrate for real environments: implement adapters, webhooks, and APIs (e.g., iManage/NetDocs, SharePoint, Outlook, Word add-ins); wire up SSO/SAML/OIDC and tenant isolation.
- Create reusable product: transform bespoke integrations into configurable modules, SDKs, templates, and internal playbooks.
