The one-line version: You are a senior engineer embedded with one of Razorpay's largest merchants. You own their technical success end-to-end — from solutioning to go-live — and you do it with a stack of AI agents working alongside you. You are not a consultant, not a support engineer, not a solutions architect. You build, you ship, you own.

About the role
Razorpay's most strategic merchants — Nvidia, Airbnb, Meta, Shopify, and others — don't want a vendor. They want a partner/team who understands payments deeply, sits with their team, and makes their use cases work. That team comprises a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE).
An FDE owns one merchant's technical destiny. You take a vague business ask and turn it into a concrete technical plan, then build and ship it — using both Razorpay's platform and our internal AI agents to move faster than any traditional team could. When you build something practical for one merchant, you feed the pattern back so the whole platform gets better.
This is modelled on the role pioneered by Palantir and now run at OpenAI, Anthropic,



Databricks and Ramp — adapted for payments, and built AI-native from day one.

What you will do
Own a merchant's technical success. You are the single engineering face the merchant sees. No "let me check with the team" handoffs.
Scope and solution. Sit with the merchant's engineering and business teams, understand the real problem, and define a clear technical plan — ideally before the contract is signed.
Build and ship. Write and review production code — in Razorpay's systems, and where allowed, in the merchant's repo. Custom flows, SDK integration, orchestration logic, server-to-server hooks.
Use AI agents at full strength. Lean on coding agents for routine PRs, knowledge agents for merchant context, and routing agents for incident triage. You are expected to be the most AI-leveraged engineer in the org.
Feed the platform. When you build the same thing for 2+ merchants, take the pattern back to the product p
