At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences.

HeyGen is building the AI video platform that Fortune 500 enterprises run their content operations on. Our strategic customers are not looking for another SaaS tool. They want production AI systems that plug into their LMS, their CRM, their HR stack, and their brand controls, and that their employees and end-users actually use every day. Closing the gap between what our APIs can do and what each enterprise needs them to do is the job.
We're hiring our first Forward Deployed Engineers to own that gap.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer on Strategic Accounts, you'll embed with our most technically complex enterprise customers and ship production AI video systems alongside their engineering teams. You'll own the last mile of delivery: discovery, technical scoping, architecture, build, rollout, and the eval-driven feedback loop back into HeyGen's product and model roadmap.
You'll operate autonomously, partner directly with customer engineering leaders and VPs, and represent HeyGen at the technical frontier. Typical questions you'll help answer look like:
You'll work side by side with our Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success teams. Your field insights will directly influence what HeyGen ships next.
San Francisco or Los Angeles. Hybrid. Expect 25–40% travel to customer sites.
In your first year, we'll measure your impact on time to production for strategic accounts, expansion revenue driven by the accounts you own, the number of reusable patterns you contribute back to the platform, and the quality of the eval and feedback signal you send into our product organization.
If you don't check every box above but you're excited about building the forward-deployed function at an AI-first company, please apply. We care more about trajectory and taste than a clean line-by-line match.
