Fastest growing startup in history, hit $200M ARR in 1 year from launch.

Valued at $1.8B. Team of serial founders, physicists, and IOI gold medalists.

Building the future where anyone can create software with plain English.

This isn’t a traditional software engineering role.

You will:

  • Be the first Forward Deployed Engineer at Lovable
  • Create a new function at the intersection of engineering, product, customer success, and research
  • Partner with customers building never-seen-before AI systems
  • Build product features based on real-world behaviors and emerging patterns
  • Influence our core product direction and technical roadmap

If you want to invent new categories, not just improve existing ones - this is that role.

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of experience building and shipping full-stack products
  • Proficiency in modern frontend (React/TypeScript) and robust backend development
  • Strong architectural thinking and familiarity with distributed systems
  • Ability to rapidly prototype, experiment, and learn from real usage
  • Exceptional product intuition and ability to work directly with users
  • Comfort operating in high-ambiguity, high-agency environments

Bonus if you’ve:

  • Worked on agentic AI systems or built with LLMs before
  • Led zero-to-one product development
  • Worked in a founding or early startup environment

What you’ll do

In one sentence: Deploy intelligence into the real world.

  • Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, needs, and problems
  • Design and implement solutions for our customers that integrate with Lovable
  • Translate insights from real usage into foundational platform improvements
  • Own projects end-to-end — from idea → architecture → shipping → iteration
  • Shape how Forward Deployed Engineering works at Lovable (rituals, playbooks, org design)
  • Contribute to core product strategy, technical decisions, and cultural foundations

Our Tech Stack

We choose tools that empower both humans and AI:

  • Frontend: React, Typescript
  • Backend: Golang & Rust
  • Cloud: Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, multiple LLM providers
  • Tooling: Github Actions, OTEL, Grafana, Terraform, and more
  • Always evolving with what works best.
