Our unique ability to leverage machine learning to match customer data with real-time product and behavior enables brands to build intelligent, marketing communications and personalized campaigns in seconds vs. days. More than 400 retail brands, including Staples, Perry Ellis, Teleflora, Tommy Hilfiger and Best Buy Canada, increase their performance with less effort leveraging our products. Bluecore has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work by Glassdoor and is ranked No. 241 on the Inc. 500 List, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

The Forward Deployed Engineering team is dedicated to helping our clients to extract maximum value from the Bluecore platform and engine. FDEs (for short) bring their engineering, technical and strategic capacities to the front lines, working directly with clients to design, architect and code implementations of the Bluecore engine that map to the client’s website and data sources. FDEs are also responsible for ensuring continued client success after implementation by building out additional features within the Bluecore product platform and UI, ensuring intelligence and actions from the Bluecore product platform and UI are in line with client expectations, and serving as the first point of contact for any technical requests from clients.

The Forward Deployed Engineer Manager will oversee one of the teams within the Forward Deployed Engineering functional group and be expected to maximize their productivity, ensure they are providing the best customer solutions, enhance the overall customer experience and establish client technology and coding standards, and bring Bluecore into the future with scaled applications. The right candidate will seek to foster teamwork and accountability among direct reports as well as encourage and exemplify healthy communication and cooperation with other functional groups within the company.

As a manager, you will be expected to be able to carry out the same tasks as the Forward Deployed Engineers in order to better guide and lead this team. You will have the ability to write our JavaScript integrations, write SQL queries to confirm or deny data coming into and out of the Bluecore engine, and configure our internal Domain Specific Language that is used to configure our marketing campaigns within our UI. You will also be expected to be an escalation point with our clients. Besides raw intellect and the ability to not take yourself too seriously, it is extremely important to be detail oriented with all our work across many different clients, as we work with a multitude of billion dollar brands who have very stringent requirements around look and feel.
