Forward Deployed Engineer
About NegotiateAI (Menlo Ventures Backed)
Today we're building AI for category managers at manufacturing and industrial companies, taking the grind out of indirect spend and delivering enterprises millions in savings.
That's the starting point. Where we're going is general procurement AI that spans the entire function.
About this role
Procurement data is a mess, and every enterprise's mess is different. Part numbers don't match, supplier names are spelled four ways, and the ERP is a decade of customizations on top of SAP. Our platform has to work inside that reality on day one, not after a six month cleanup project.
You'll be the first Forward Deployed Engineer at NegotiateAI: embedded with our earliest customers, building until the product delivers measurable savings against their real data, then pushing what you learned back into the core platform. This is an engineering role, not a solutions or consulting role. You write production code and you own what you ship.
What you'll do
Embed with customer procurement and IT teams to map how spend actually flows: intake, approvals, category taxonomies, supplier master data, and where the savings are hiding.</
