Retire the ERP
Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global
companies superpowers - automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.
We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for
leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Fuse Energy.
We're an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about
reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you're excited to modernise how companies run money,
you're in the right place.
Backed by world-class investors including Balderton and Atomico and advised by industry titans, we're building category-defining
products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes. Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.
About the Role
You'll embed inside our most important customers and rebuild how their finance function works. You’ll map how the team really
works, redesign the workflow, wire the integrations, and ship the agents, all to make sure they work in AI-native ways and are
using Light to its full potential.
Your customers are Financial Controllers, Finance Directors and CFOs at fast-growing multinational SaaS and tech companies.
Senior, technical, time-poor. You'll sit with them, diagnose the real problem, build the answer - then train them to run it
without you.
This is a founding role in a new motion. Part process designer, part builder and deployer. You partner with an Account Manager who
owns the stakeholders and the commercial; you own the process re-design and agent deployment. No two customers look the same, and
there's no set playbook yet. You'll write it, and we’ll help.

Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. ABOUT OKTA FOR AI AGENTS Okta secures access for 20,000 organizations and billions of users. Okta for AI Agents extends that work to the agentic shift. Deploying an AI agent is not like deploying traditional software. You are putting professional work output into production, and it needs deep integration, continuous tuning, and change management. Every agent needs an identity, a scope, an audit trail, and a way to be shut down when it goes wrong. Most enterprises have not built this yet. We are. We hire builders who see the cracks in enterprise agent identity that everyone else has learned to live with. THE ROLE You are the most senior technical field authority for agent identity at Okta. Where a Senior FDE owns the outcome inside one account, you own the patterns that every account and every FDE inherits. You take the hardest and most strategic deployments yourself, set the reference architecture the team builds from, and turn what the field learns into the direction the product takes. You still write code. You also multiply the people around you, and you are the person product and engineering leadership call when an agent identity problem has no precedent. RESPONSIBILITIES * Own the reference architecture. Define the canonical agent identity, delegation, audit, and kill-switch patterns that Senior FDEs deploy across the portfolio, and keep them current as the standards and the product move. * Lead the hardest accounts. Personally own the most strategic, regulated, or technically novel deployments, the ones where there is no playbook yet. * Raise the technical bar. Review other FDEs’ architectures, coach senior customer engineers and your own team, and set the standard for what good looks like in the field. * Shape the roadmap. Synthesize patterns across every account into a clear point of view, and work directly with product and engineering leadership to prioritize what ships next. * Represent Okta as a technical authority. Brief CISO, CIO, and Chief AI Officer audiences, contribute to the standards and frameworks shaping agent identity, and carry the external technical voice. * Resolve what others cannot. Step into the hardest technical and political situations across accounts and find the path forward. * Set the standard for evals and observability. Define how the team measures authorization latency, scope sprawl, delegation anomalies, audit completeness, and kill-switch verification, so it scales beyond any single customer. * Build the team’s leverage. Turn recurring field work into reusable modules, internal tooling, and enablement so the whole FDE function moves faster. REQUIREMENTS * Engineering depth. 10+ years shipping production software, with deep distributed systems and identity experience and a track record of staying hands-on while setting direction. * Authority-level identity protocols. OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, RFC 8693 token exchange, act claims, CIMD and DCR, DPoP. Contribution to standards or open source is a plus. * Deep agent security fluency. OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, plus MCP, A2A, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act, with the judgment to apply them in HIPAA, FedRAMP, and SOC 2 environments. * Expert fine-grained authorization. ReBAC and ABAC with policy engines (OPA, Cedar, OpenFGA, or equivalent), and command of the design tradeoffs at scale. * Proven AI hands-on. Production integrations across the major agent platforms and MCP, and daily AI-native development. * Force multiplier. A record of setting technical direction across multiple teams or accounts, and of mentoring senior engineers. * Customer-facing authority. Credible from the IDE to the boardroom, trusted by CISOs and principal engineers alike, and steady when account politics get sharp. * High agency, founder’s mindset. Applied to building a function, not just an account. * Ability to travel, on occasion, up to 35% #LI-Remote (P24675_3470403) Below is the annual On Target Compensation (OTE) range for candidates located in the United Kingdom.

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. The RVP, Priority Support Engineering - EMEA reports into the Head of Global Support and owns paid support offerings end-to-end for their designated Region. Operating in an environment of both direct reports and matrixed relationships, the ideal candidate has a proven track record of either leading premium support / designated technical advisory organizations OR selling and positioning technical solutions to enterprise customers in a senior field role, with revenue accountability either way. This role brings together a mix of responsibilities with multiple areas of critical focus. The RVP maintains relationships at all levels with Customers, Sales Leadership, Solutions Engineering, Delivery Teams, Operations Teams, and Key Partners. They are expected to sustain KPIs across multiple disciplines including Revenue, Attach, Consumption, Retention, and Staffing. Snowflake's paid support offerings are designed to deliver value customers feel, through both quality reactive interactions and proactive, advisory-led engagement, measured on the outcomes that matter to their business. The RVP leads the regional Designated Support Engineer (DSE) team, the post-sales production support force that delivers Priority Support today and will scale as our paid support portfolio expands. Reactive support sits with separate leadership; the DSE team collaborates closely with that org on escalations and reactive delivery health for paid customers, but is purpose-built for the proactive, paid program experience and the sales motion that drives it. This role is key to making that proactive shift real for paying customers, turning premium support from a faster ticket queue into a measurable lever on workload health, consumption growth, and long-term value. This is an AI-native role. The RVP leads both the DSE team and customer engagements through AI-augmented ways of working, using AI to anticipate workload risk, scale proactive advisory, and surface insights at a depth and speed that was not possible before. We are actively building the AI-augmented engagement model the team runs on; the RVP is expected to continue to build and evolve the playbook as the technology and the tooling mature. Both the leader and the team operate AI-natively in how they engage customers, manage workloads, and deliver value. RESPONSIBILITIES Serving Customers * Build deep technical and executive relationships with strategic customers in the region to ensure paid support programs are positioned to serve current and future workloads on Snowflake. * Accountable for Customer Satisfaction, retention, and successful post-sales delivery of paid support engagements against committed scope, SLAs, and outcomes. * Lead the DSE team's contribution to the proactive, advisory-led support model: architectural reviews, proactive risk assessments, and identification of root-cause patterns on recurring issues. * Collaborate closely with reactive support leadership to ensure reactive delivery health is strong for accounts under paid support coverage, including joint visibility into case load, response-time performance, and incident trends, with shared accountability when paid customers need both arms of support working in concert. * Partner with Snowflake field teams on post-go-live consumption health, proactively identifying workloads at risk of stalled adoption, blockers limiting consumption growth, and architectural opportunities to expand value, mobilizing the DSE team on the path to resolution. * Own executive sponsorship and the customer narrative for at-risk paid support accounts; coordinate with reactive support leadership on escalation paths when their resources are required. Owning the Sales Cycle for Paid Support Programs * Own the regional sales cycle for paid support programs by partnering with Snowflake Regional Sales VPs and Solutions Engineering Directors to position the right paid support program with each customer based on their workload profile, criticality, and growth trajectory. * Lead the Go-to-Market motion for paid support in the assigned region, including attach to net-new deals, expansion within the existing customer base, and conversion at renewal. * Engage directly with customers and Sales counterparts to articulate the value of paid support, scope the right program fit, and influence the support component of the commercial proposal. (Production delivery sits with the DSE team post-sale; this engagement is positioning, not pre-sales technical discovery.) * Define and operationalize the Solutions Engineering/FDE/Engineering Solutions/Service Delivery-to-DSE handoff: a documented model for transferring technical and account context from pre-sales and custom engagements into post-sales production support without a dropped baton. * Communicate pipeline activity to Global Support leadership and to regional Sales leaders frequently; leverage executives appropriately and strategically to gain alignment and overcome customer objections. * Accountable for regional revenue targets for paid support programs. Practice Readiness * Build, hire, and lead the regional Priority Support team, including Designated Support Engineers, front-line managers, and any specialist roles needed to scale post-sales production support. * Recruit and develop talent who can grow with the function; coach front-line managers in advisory engagement, executive presence, and commercial fluency. * Communicate pipeline activity and forward demand to Resource Management and Delivery to ensure visibility into upcoming DSE coverage needs. * Establish operating cadence: weekly forecast, monthly business review, quarterly customer outcome review with regional Sales VPs. * Proactively contribute to the development of paid support program policies, procedures, pricing input, and packaging signal back to Global Support leadership and Revenue Operations. * Monitor team performance; provide coaching, counseling, and motivation to maximize delivery quality and commercial outcomes. * Lead the DSE team as an AI-native function: set the standard for AI-augmented engagement delivery, predictive workload analysis, and AI-driven customer insights at scale. Build a team that uses AI fluently in everyday delivery, not as a side project. Technical Expertise * Demonstrate detailed Snowflake product knowledge: vision, platform architecture, and the technical use cases customers run on Snowflake at scale. * Understand the technical complexities of the modern data and AI cloud, the competitive environment, and confidently address customer concerns about adoption, migration, performance, and cost. * Provide strong consultative skills and a clear understanding of paid support engagement models: what each program delivers post-sale, where the value lands for customers, and how to position the right fit. REQUIREMENTS On Day One We Will Expect You To Have: * Sales-minded leader with 10+ years in enterprise customer-facing roles, with a track record of either (a) leading a paid support, premium services, designated technical advisory, or signature success-style organization, OR (b) selling and positioning technical solutions to enterprise customers in a senior field role at a cloud, data, or SaaS company (e.g., Sales Engineering, Sales Architect, Specialist Sales, Customer Engineering). Either path qualifies. * Proven track record carrying or owning a revenue target tied to attach, expansion, or renewal in a customer-facing function (e.g., Sales Engineering, Professional Services, Premium Support). You can read a forecast and run a deal review. * 5+ years of leadership experience managing a multi-layered organization in a high-growth SaaS or cloud environment; demonstrated ability to coach front-line managers. * Knowledge of the data warehousing, data management, analytics, AI, and/or cloud computing space. * Experience selling and positioning technical solutions to enterprise customers and managing to commercial targets while working closely with cross-functional teams: sales, pre-sales, legal, marketing, finance, and product. * Comfort operating inside transformation: you have moved a team from one operating model to another (e.g., reactive to proactive, cost center to revenue contributor) and can talk specifically about what worked and what did not, OR you have been part of a transformation as a senior individual contributor and can articulate how you would lead one. * Executive-level communication and customer-facing presence; confident presenting both technical solutions and business impact to C-level customer audiences. * Comfortable with Salesforce or other leading CRM tools. * Demonstrated experience leading teams or running customer engagements using AI-native or AI-augmented approaches; comfort championing AI-driven delivery in a customer-facing function, articulating to customers how AI augments human advisory rather than replaces it, and evolving the operating model as new capabilities emerge (you are joining an active build, not inheriting a finished playbook). Strongly Preferred * Direct experience launching or scaling a designated engineer, solutions architect team, TAM, or premium support program at a cloud data platform, hyperscaler, or enterprise SaaS company (e.g., Databricks, AWS, Google,Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Red Hat, MongoDB, Oracle). * Internal Snowflake field experience (Solutions Engineering, Solutions Architect ) with deep relationships into regional Sales VPs and a track record of customer wins on technical solutions. * Strong program, project, and process management skills. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS * Regional revenue targets for paid support programs, including attach to net-new license deals, expansion within the customer base, and conversion at renewal * Snowflake consumption health and growth on accounts under paid support coverage * Customer outcome metrics: NPS lift on paid support cohort; reduction in customer generated cases on accounts under DSE coverage; improvement in time-to-value on key workloads * Proactive engagement coverage: cadence and quality of architectural reviews, health assessments, and risk reviews delivered to paid accounts * Hire-to-headcount targets within given timeframes; manager bench depth * Engagement delivery quality and effective management of regional team objectives Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential. Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake. How do you want to make your impact?

WHAT WE DO We're building the last piece of the puzzle to help companies unlock AI code generation - the part that makes it actually safe to ship. AI is enabling engineers to write code faster than ever before. But software review and testing hasn't caught up. Engineering leaders are drowning in long review cycles and more bugs than ever. The bottleneck isn't writing code anymore - it's everything that comes after it. We spent 3 years building the foundational technology to crack this - hard to replicate, and several years ahead of anything else on the market. Since then, we've grown 5x year-on-year and now work with some of the most AI-driven engineering teams in the world: Notion, ElevenLabs, Dropbox, Discord, LaunchDarkly, Wiz, CoreWeave, Wealthsimple, and more. Companies like Dropbox, Wiz, and Notion often pay more for Meticulous than any other software product in their stack, and spontaneously refer us to others. We're backed by the same investors behind Twilio, Twitch, Intercom, and PagerDuty. Individual investors include the founders of Vercel, Datadog, Segment, and Dropbox, the CTO of GitHub, the CPO of Adobe, the head of Engineering at Cursor, and many more. Our mission is to radically accelerate the pace of software development by empowering every engineer to ship at the speed their agents write code. This is an opportunity to join a company in hypergrowth as we scale from millions of annual recurring revenue to $100M ARR. If this excites you, come help us build it! THE ROLE FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER - LONDON As one of the first Forward Deployed Engineers at Meticulous, you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our core engineering team at our London headquarters and help define how this function operates from the ground up. The FDE team is still small and the playbook is still being written - you'll be instrumental in shaping the processes, tooling, and best practices that the function runs on as it scales. You'll work directly with engineering leaders at the world's most AI-driven companies, understanding their unique architectures and crafting solutions that work for their specific needs. This role demands an unusual combination of deep technical expertise and entrepreneurial drive, you'll be writing high-performance code one day and presenting architectural decisions to VPs of Engineering the next. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES This role spans both customer work and engineering. You own each customer end-to-end - and do what’s needed to make sure Meticulous is transformational for them. This involves everything from changes to core product to owning the customer relationship: * Architect and deploy at scale: Work with a customer to understand their full architecture, design implementation strategies that fit their systems, and pair with their engineers to deliver them. * Evolve the core product to make the customer successful: This can range from debugging and fixing issues that are blocking the rollout (which often go deep into the core technology, such as the deterministic browser), to shipping features that will be transformative for the customer you’re focused on, but also move the product forward itself e.g. rework parts of Meticulous to work at a new level of scale required by the customer. * Own the technical relationship and lead the pilot: Be the technical lead to engineering leadership (VPs Eng, Staff+ engineers) at each customer - driving scoping, integration, and rollout. A founder or account executive handles pricing and contracts; the two of you operate as a pod per account. * Guide the direction of the product based on what you learn in the field: As you see how the product performs, and how engineers workflows are rapidly evolving, work out what do we need to build to unlock the next level of automating software development? Where there are improvements which make sense to own and ship, ship them; where the work is larger and needs deeper scoping pair with core engineering team to make them happen. * Build the playbook: The FDE function is still being defined. You'll be instrumental in establishing the processes, tooling, and best practices that make each deployment smoother and faster than the last, creating the leverage that lets the team scale. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Exceptional engineering skills: Typically 3+ years in a demanding technical role, but we'll consider exceptional candidates with 1+ years of experience. * Highly agentic: you have a bias to action, move fast, take ownership without being asked, and get genuinely frustrated when things stall - this role demands entrepreneurial self-drive * Strong communication skills: You can explain complex technical concepts to both engineers and executives, and you're energized by customer collaboration * Willingness to travel: Approximately 25% travel to customer sites. The majority of our enterprise customers are US-based THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF… * You want a pure IC engineering role with no customer contact * You need structured handoffs, clear specs, and a defined process to follow * You expect regular hours and no travel - our team, customers and investors span SF, London, and NYC. The role requires comfort working across time zones * You want engineering work that's insulated from customers and their problems YOU MAY LOOK LIKE… * Senior IC at a top tech company ready to leave the bureaucracy behind and own real customer outcomes end-to-end * Ex-founder or technical founding engineer who wants to keep the founder-energy but plug into a company with product-market fit and a clear path to scale * Forward Deployed Engineer at OpenAI, Scale, or Anthropic looking for an earlier-stage version of the same work * Solutions architect or staff engineer who wants more deep engineering and less PowerPoint WHAT YOU'LL GAIN HELP BUILD A NEW FUNCTION As one of the first FDEs at Meticulous, you'll be instrumental in defining how this team operates, from processes and tooling to how it scales. Clear path into leadership as the function grows. EXCEPTIONAL GROWTH You grow through a combination of the people you work with, and the experiences you’re exposed to. Within that context: * Our philosophy is that density of talent is what matters; and so we’ve focused on keeping the team small but with exceptional individuals. You’ll get to collaborate with world-class engineers who previously led 100+ person organizations at top companies, and we expect you’ll find the team is beyond any you’ve worked in before, within big tech (Google, Meta, etc.) or otherwise. This, combined with a focus on learning and growing together, means we’re able to learn from each other at rapid pace. * Beyond growing your skills through engineering and collaboration, the role involves spending a lot of time with engineering leaders at the fastest growing tech companies and leading firms in the world. We’ve found this gives us a unique exposure to a huge range of technologies, practices, techniques, codebases, architectures, cultures, learnings - what works, what doesn’t. It’s a valuable bird eye view of collective learnings and experiences. These learnings normally take years or decades to build up as you move between companies. There are few startups that grow as fast as we do. You’ll be joining a small team on an exceptional trajectory. Through this comes unique growth, but also unique network. EXPAND YOUR NETWORK Our investor network is one of the most active in tech - we'll use it to connect you with whoever helps you do your job better. You’ll work with engineering leaders across many leading tech companies, often at the highest levels. Given the speed of growth, and desirability of the product amongst the leading enterprises, Meticulous provides the opportunity to build a network of connections across the full span of the technology world. SOLVE NOVEL PROBLEMS Work on challenges at the intersection of browser technology, testing infrastructure, and large-scale system design that few engineers ever encounter - to help build something that changes the way software is developed. WORLD-CLASS COMPENSATION Base salary £150K-£300K plus significant equity, exceeding compensation at top technology companies and startups. PERKS ♥️ * 🍲 Unlimited food & drinks in office - including daily lunch as a team, and your own Amazon business account to buy whatever snacks you want for the office. * 💻 A setup you’ll love - everyone has a standing desk, brand new Macbook, your choice of ergonomic peripherals, and a £2k WFH budget to make home just as good * 🌴 Team offsites - we work and play hard, we’ve done offsites in Italy, Abu Dhabi and local 5-star resorts * 📚 Unlimited book budget - we have a growing in-office library and actively encourage everyone to add to it, whether you want to ramp up your knowledge of software testing, or become a better startup operator! * many more! LIFE AT METICULOUS We believe autonomous testing will enable the automation of the majority of software development. You'll be at the forefront of this transformation, working with the companies that will be first to realize this future. This role is on-site because we've found that the speed of iteration and depth of collaboration required for both customer success and technical excellence happens best in person.
