Do you want to empower organizations to build smarter compensation strategies while ensuring fair pay for all employees?
Syndio is a Series C technology company leveraging advanced technology and responsible AI to accelerate decision-making, streamline compliance, and democratize insights for consistent, equitable compensation practices at scale. Backed by $83M in investments from Bessemer Venture Partners, Voyager Capital, and Emerson Collective, we are expanding our team and products to help companies align their rewards strategies with their business goals.
Our customers are our greatest asset. Syndio partners with many of the world’s most recognized and respected enterprises, helping them implement leading-edge compensation solutions with expert guidance. We analyze pay for over 10 million employees across dozens of countries, ensuring fair, defensible rewards that drive better business outcomes.
Join us in our mission to help companies make smarter pay decisions they can trust!
About the role
We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to serve as the technical architect and execution lead for our most critical client implementations. You will be a founding member of a team dedicated to the "last mile" of the Syndio experience - ensuring that our customers’ complex data environments are seamlessly integrated into our platform and clients can be onboarded into our platform with minimum effort.
In this role, you aren’t just "onboarding" a client; you are building the data foundations that allow enterprise leaders to make fair, confident pay decisions. You will work at the intersection of Software Engineering and Solutions Architecture, using our new Implementation Platform and cutting-edge AI tools to transform disparate data into Decision Intelligence.
Why this role is exciting
- Hands-on Technical Execution: Own the end-to-end technical implementation for strategic clients, from initial data ingestion to complex group configurations in the Syndio platform.
- Innovate with AI: Use advanced AI prompt engineering to navigate product exceptions and architect creative solutions for unique client edge cases that "out of the box" features don't yet cover.
- Drive True Adoption: Ensure the platform isn't just "live"; it’s embedded. You will design configurations that make Syndio an indispensable part of a client’s daily HR and compensation workflow.
- Modern Tech Stack: Work with modern integration tools and help migrate existing clients to our new, high-scale Implementation Platform.
- Cross-Functional Impact: You will provide direct feedback to the Core Engineering and Product Teams and in some cases directly build the core product to help shape.
Basic Requirements:
- 3-5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, or Technical Solutions Consultant in a B2B SaaS environment.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong hands-on experience with SQL and Python for data transformation and ETL processes.
- AI Prompting Mastery: Proficiency in leveraging LLMs and AI prompting to accelerate complex implementations, automate data mapping and resolve technical product exceptions.
- Integration Expertise: Experience working with APIs and modern iPaaS / Integration tools to move data between enterprise systems (HRIS, ATS, Payroll).
- Client-Centric Vision: Ability to lead technical deep-dives with client stakeholders, translating their business needs into platform configurations.
- Operational Excellence: Proven ability to manage multiple complex technical workstreams simultaneously while maintaining high quality and documentation standards.
About You:
- You are a "Technical Visionary": You don't just follow a checklist; you look at a client’s data and requirements, and see the most efficient path to value.
- You Thrive on Complexity: You enjoy the "puzzle" of mapping messy, real-world enterprise data into a structured platform.
- You are a Strong Communicator: You can explain a complex SQL join to a non-technical HR leader and a product roadmap to a backend engineer.
- You are an Early Adopter: You are excited about using AI to augment your workflow and are constantly looking for ways to automate repetitive implementation tasks.\
- You Value Partnerships: You work well cross-functionally and understand that successful implementations require a blend of technical precision and empathetic customer service.
Why you'll love it here:
- 💰 Competitive Compensation. For this role our salary is targeted at $105-$140k USD per year. Final offer amounts are determined by factors such as experience and expertise. We take a geo neutral approach to compensation within the US, meaning that we pay based on job function and level, not location.
