Heizen: Delivering Software at LightSpeed

Featured on: Forbes, Shark Tank India and backed by Titan Capital

Heizen is an AI-powered startup founded by a team of ex-Microsoft, JP Morgan, IIT and ISB alumni, working

majorly with the supply-chain industry. We're rewriting how IT services get done, running on AI agents and

10x engineers - no bench, no bloat, just elite execution at a speed that makes traditional IT services look

embarrassing.

We're pioneering a new model for software delivery-one that blends elite engineering talent with proprietary

AI agents to build enterprise-grade products with unmatched speed and quality. Our clients include DHL,

Unilever, ITC, and Boston Red Sox - and we're nowhere near done.

Our teams work closely with ambitious startups and large enterprises to solve complex business and

technical challenges. From building mission-critical platforms to automating legacy workflows, Heizen helps

organizations turn bold ideas into scalable software-faster than ever before.

If you're excited by high-impact problems, product ownership, and cutting-edge tools, Heizen offers a

front-row seat to the future of software development.

The Role

We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who will work closely with our clients to build

production-grade software that solves high-impact business problems. As an FDE, you’ll be on the front

lines, understanding client needs, scoping solutions, and implementing features end-to-end.

Forward Deployed Engineers solve business-critical problems. At Heizen, you'll work directly with enterprise

customers, understand complex challenges, and build AI-powered software that creates measurable

business impact directly with founders, product leaders, and operators - scoping problems, designing

solutions, and building performant software end-to-end. You will iterate quickly, test relentlessly, and own

features from architecture through deployment, while working closely with senior engineers and AI-powered

toolchains.

This role is perfect for engineers who thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy learning across domains and

want to see their work create direct business value. You’ll get exposure to multiple industries, work with

modern technologies, and grow quickly by collaborating with senior engineers and stakeholders.

Core Responsibilities

- Debug, diagnose, and resolve issues in real-world client environments, ensuring reliability,

performance, and usability.

- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and QA teams to deliver polished, user-centric outcomes.

- Write clean, maintainable, and testable code, supported by documentation, user stories, and

acceptance criteria.

best practices.

- Stay adaptable and learn new technologies, frameworks, and domains as project needs evolve.

- Mentor junior engineers and share knowledge across the team to strengthen overall capability

- Own the entire lifecycle, from problem discovery to successful rollout.

What We Value

- Strong problem-solving ability and a passion for tackling complex, real-world challenges.

- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering fundamentals.

- Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Java).

- A product-focused mindset, balancing user needs, technical constraints, and speed while building

practical, high-impact solutions.

- Familiarity with frameworks such as React, Node.js, or Django, and eagerness to learn new ones.

- Ability to collaborate effectively in dynamic, fast-paced, client-facing environments.

- Robust communication skills, especially when discussing technical topics with non-technical

Stakeholders.
