The Role

You will spend time collaborating with teams across Addepar's engineering and product organization; providing valuable insight to inform design strategy and contributing directly to the core product code base.

FDE operates as an extension of the platform rather than a services organization. This distinction allows FDE to partner with customers in a highly collaborative fashion with a focus on measurable outcomes, rather than billable hours. You will partner with other members of the FDE team to continuously evaluate the dynamic landscape of opportunities, strategic priorities, and commitments - ensuring that the team is always focused on solving the most important & impactful problems.
