Forward Deployed Engineer (EMEA)

At CloudX we’re building a new supply-side advertising platform for mobile publishers. We’re convinced that an AI-native product will significantly advance the state of the art in mobile advertising; we recently raised a $30M Series A in order to bring this dream to life. We have a long history of innovation in this space — our founding team previously built MoPub (sold to Twitter for $350M) and MAX (acquired by AppLovin). Our new platform combines real technical improvements like verifiably fair auctions with a truly AI-native product experience to give publishers unprecedented control over their ad monetization strategy.

Embed directly with publishers to design, build, and ship the integration solutions that get them live on CloudX. You'll own the work from pre-sales integration discussion through hands-on integration, deployed tooling, and ongoing optimization. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you're an engineer first. You write the code, stand up the automation, and solve problems in the partner's environment. You combine deep ad tech expertise with consultative problem solving to ensure partners extract maximum value from CloudX's platform.

Engineer who ships in the field: You've built and deployed real solutions inside complex ad tech integrations. You can write code to solve problems on the spot. That might mean debugging an SDK issue, building an automation script, or standing up a custom solution. You're comfortable diving into logs, analyzing auction data, and finding solutions under real world constraints.

Consultative mindset: You're not just an implementer. You're a trusted technical advisor. You ask great questions to understand publisher needs. You design solutions that balance requirements with platform constraints, and you guide partners toward optimal outcomes.

Bridge builder: You translate between technical and business worlds effectively.

Problem solving: When integrations break or partners face issues, you form hypotheses, test them methodically, and communicate clearly throughout. You don't just fix the immediate problem. You identify root causes and prevent recurrence.

High ownership and initiative: You own partner technical success end to end. When you spot a way to improve the platform or the process, you build the prototype, document the proposal, and drive the change.

Early-stage mentality: You thrive in ambiguity and move fast. You know when "good enough" beats perfect and when to push for rigor. You're comfortable wearing multiple hats. One day it's hands-on integration, the next it's presenting to executives, and the day after it's building deployable tooling.

AI-forward approach: You actively use AI tools to scale your impact. That includes analyzing logs, debugging code, creating documentation, and building automation. You understand what AI accelerates and where human expertise is critical, and you're excited to build AI-powered solutions for partners.
