Job description

About Nuvo We’re Redefining the $11T B2B Commerce and Payments Market Nearly everything you buy, from food to medicine, from building materials to auto parts, passes through a chain of businesses before it reaches your hands. But every handoff between them still runs on paperwork, phone calls, and spreadsheets. Nuvo is building the agentic commerce network to bring global trade online: shared infrastructure for everything from verification to invoicing to payment, with AI agents that can automate routine tasks so humans can focus on judgment. With 200k+ businesses already run on the Nuvo network today, and backed by $45M from Sequoia, Spark, Founders Fund, and Index, we're building the operating system for global commerce. About the Role We are looking for pragmatic engineers who thrive at the intersection of software development and real-world customer impact. As a new grad Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll work directly with customers, partners, and internal teams to build, integrate, and optimize the mission-critical systems that enable seamless wholesale commerce, with support and mentorship as you ramp. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy fast-paced problem-solving, engaging with customers to understand their needs, and deploying tailored technical solutions in real-world environments. Your work will directly impact how businesses transact, helping them move faster and operate more efficiently. What You’ll Do: • Collaborate with customers and customer success to deeply understand customers' workflows, pain points, and technical requirements. • Design and deploy customized solutions that integrate Nuvo's platform with customer systems, ensuring seamless adoption and performance. • Build custom features for some of Nuvo's largest, most complicated customers to solve their most pressing problems, with guidance from senior engineers. • Work cross-functionally with customer success, product, engineering, and business teams, bringing field insights back to shape Nuvo's roadmap. • Grow into a trusted technical partner to customers, helping them maximize the value of Nuvo's products. What You Bring: • Strong CS fundamentals plus real evidence of building things end to end (internships, open source, hackathons, or side projects). • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work in ambiguous, high-stakes environments. • A customer-centric mindset, with the ability to translate business needs into effective technical solutions. • A drive to figure out the best way to solve a problem. You've hacked systems together quickly and are deeply resourceful. • Excitement to thrive in an early-stage company, taking ownership and moving quickly to deliver impact. • Curiosity about the technology landscape and awareness of advancements in engineering techniques, systems, and tooling.
