Customer Engineer

Light

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. Key Responsibilities * Embed with a customer's finance team, map and redesign their workflows AI-first * Wire the integrations - pull data from ERPs, banks, and billing into Light * Configure, ship, and supervise AI agents in production until the customer trusts them * Hand back a workflow the customer runs themselves, and train their team from go-live * Diagnose the edge cases the playbook doesn't cover, and ship the answer * Measure & prove the impact against a week-0 baseline * Partner two-in-a-box with your Account Manager, and pull in platform and AI engineering when you need them * Feed repeatable patterns to the Product roadmap Experience & Qualifications * 3+ years close to how finance teams actually work - accounting, process design, consulting, or technical customer success * You build & tinker. Vibe coding, data pipelines, and LLM agents are tools you reach for, and you ship working software, not slideware * You're fluent enough in finance to hold your own with a Controller on multi-entity, consolidation, and reporting - and to know when a request won't work * You bring structure to messy problems and move fast: diagnose, prototype, harden, ship * You're comfortable in front of a CFO and next to an engineer, and you've delivered without formal authority over anyone * You use AI tools daily and have specific opinions on where they help in delivery and where they don't * Fluent English; additional European languages a plus * Bonus #1: Solutions or integration engineering background; experience mapping and redesigning finance processes and with AI agents in production (evals, guardrails, …) * Bonus #2: A finance / accounting qualification You'll probably struggle here if * You need a spec handed to you - here you find the problem, then build the answer * You've only worked on internal products, never sat in front of a customer * You think "redesign the process" means "automate what exists". The job is to rethink it from first principles and inject AI where it makes sense * You want a big platform team to lean on - you'll have part-time support, not a safety net * You've used ChatGPT once and weren't impressed - we go all in on AI at Light The good stuff In addition to being part of a great team and working in a really fun and innovative environment, we offer: 💸 A competitive salary + potential stock options 🏝 Generous package of paid annual leave + public holidays 🥳 Regular socials and company off-sites (last time was in Piemonte, next time is in Provence) 🚀 A huge opportunity for career growth as you'll help shape a market-defining motion The famous last words Working at Light means you're embarking on an exciting journey to reshape the future of multinational financial operations. Our cheat-code is that we've built something like this before - and are now doing it again, only better. Our goal is to make global finance effortless and empower companies to make informed decisions. Join the rocket ship while it's taking off 🚀

Meticulous

A WORLD-CHANGING COMPANY Meticulous is accelerating the pace of software development. We’ve built the world’s first fully autonomous and exhaustive testing platform for frontend codebases - a capability that has never existed before and that we believe is key to unlocking the full potential of code generation. The demand for Meticulous has been strong. Companies like Dropbox, Wiz, and Notion often choose Meticulous as one of the most valuable tools in their engineering stack, and frequently recommend us to others. Our team of twelve has built this by combining deep technical focus with a high bar for quality, drawing experience from companies such as Uber, Google, Dropbox, GitHub, Meta, and Palantir. You can learn more about the company in this video here. THE ROLE As one of the first Forward Deployed Engineers at Meticulous, you’ll help shape how we work with customers and how leading engineering teams adopt our technology. This role is a mix of software engineering and customer-facing problem solving. You’ll work closely with engineering teams at companies like Notion, Dropbox, Wealthsimple, Outtake, and LaunchDarkly to understand how their systems work and help them successfully deploy Meticulous. Some days you’ll be writing and debugging code; other days you’ll be discussing technical decisions, trade-offs, and best practices with customer engineers. You won’t be expected to know everything on day one. You’ll be supported by experienced engineers on the team, but you’ll also be given real ownership and responsibility early on. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES This role spans both engineering and customer success. You’ll take ownership of customer deployments and do what’s needed to make Meticulous successful for them, including: * Work with customers to deploy Meticulous at scale. Partner with customer engineering teams to understand their architecture, design implementation approaches that fit their systems, and work alongside them to ship reliable solutions. * Improve the product based on real-world usage. Debug issues that block deployments, investigate problems that reach into core parts of the system, and help ship improvements or features that make the product work better for both the customer you’re focused on and Meticulous overall. * Build strong customer relationships. Communicate regularly with engineers and engineering leaders, help guide rollouts, and collect feedback to ensure customers are successful and supported. * Influence product direction. Use what you learn from working with customers to help inform what we build next. For smaller improvements, you’ll often implement them directly; for larger changes, you’ll work closely with the core engineering team to scope and deliver them. * Help define best practices. As the Forward Deployed Engineering function grows, you’ll contribute to documentation, tooling, and processes that make each new deployment smoother than the last. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR * Strong technical foundation. A degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field, with solid fundamentals in programming and systems. * High ownership and motivation. You’re comfortable taking responsibility, figuring things out, and moving projects forward even when things are ambiguous. * Entrepreneurial spirit. You’ve spent time building things outside of structured coursework such as working on a startup, founding or contributing to an open-source projects, or shipping personal projects end-to-end. * Clear communicator. You can explain technical ideas clearly, ask good questions, and enjoy working directly with other engineers. * Willingness to travel. Around 25% travel to customer sites, primarily in the US. WHAT YOU’LL GAIN * Learn by building a new function. You’ll be part of shaping an entirely new role at Meticulous, with clear opportunities to grow in responsibility and influence as the team expands. * Exceptional growth and mentorship. We intentionally keep the team small and highly experienced. You’ll work closely with engineers who have led large teams and built complex systems at top technology companies. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and focused on learning quickly from each other. Beyond core engineering growth, you’ll spend significant time working with engineering leaders at fast-growing startups and established tech companies. This gives you exposure to a wide range of technologies, architectures, workflows, and engineering cultures - experience that normally takes many years and multiple jobs to accumulate. * Expand your network. Our investors and advisors include leaders from Vercel, GitHub, Segment, YC, Adobe, and Dropbox. Through the role, you’ll also work directly with engineering teams across many top technology companies, building relationships early in your career that can compound for years. * Solve novel technical problems. You’ll work on challenging problems at the intersection of browser technology, testing infrastructure, and large-scale systems - areas that few engineers encounter early in their careers. * World-class compensation. Base salary £80k–£140k plus significant equity, competitive with top technology companies and startups. LIFE AT METICULOUS We believe autonomous testing will eventually enable the automation of much of software development. You’ll be working at the forefront of this shift, alongside the companies that are adopting these tools first. This role is on-site at our office in Moorgate. We’ve found that the level of collaboration, learning, and iteration required to succeed works best when the team is together in person.

Okta

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.
