Forward Deployed Engineer, Office of the CEO
About Campfire
Campfire is an AI-native ERP for financial operations. Accounting teams and fractional CFO firms at fast-growing companies use it to run their close, revenue recognition, AP/AR, consolidations and reporting. Ember, our AI layer, works alongside accountants on the ledger itself.
The Role
Our CEO ships code. With AI coding tools, they turn customer conversations into working prototypes and open PRs directly against our codebase. The ideas are good and the instincts come straight from customers. The code is vibe coded.
Your job is to take those PRs to production.
You'll be the engineer who sits between the CEO's editor and main. You'll figure out what each PR is actually trying to do, then decide what to keep, rewrite or drop. You'll get it through review, tests, migrations and deploy without losing the idea that made it worth building. You'll turn a customer demo that half works into a feature that is correct on a real general ledger with real money in it.
This is a real engineering role with an unusual input stream. You'll work closer to the CEO and to customer priorities than anyone else on the team.
