About Rocketlane
Rocketlane is a fast-growing, innovative SaaS company redefining how professional services teams deliver customer projects. We recently raised $60M in Series C funding led by Insight Partners, bringing our total funding to over $105M from top investors including 8VC, Matrix Partners, and Nexus Venture Partners, along with super angels like Gokul Rajaram, Girish Mathrubootham, and Clark Valberg.
Our mission? To move the qualified services industry from tracking work to executing it. With Nitro, our agentic execution platform, we've built the industry's first AI-powered engine that configures systems, runs migrations, generates documentation, and surfaces delivery risks - directly inside customer project workflows. We're a team of 200+ passionate folks building a product that services teams love, and we're just getting started on the Outcome Era.
What will you do? (Role Overview)
As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) on Rocketlane's AI Implementation team, you will own the technical success of our strategic customers as they adopt Nitro AI agents.



You'll embed with customer teams - running discovery, designing agent workflows, configuring integrations, engineering prompts, and shipping production-grade apps and agents that drive measurable outcomes.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role that sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. You'll understand customer workflows, orchestrate agents, write code debug live issues, and translate what you learn in the field into product improvements that shape the future of Nitro. If "professional services consultant" feels too removed from the keyboard and "pure product engineer" feels too removed from the customer, this role is built for you.
You'll be a founding member of our AI-first Professional Services org - someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves solving puzzles, and is energized by seeing their work live in production within weeks, not quarters.
