Forward Deployed Eng: Building with Customers

What does a forward-deployed engineer actually do? Join Give(a)Go for an evening with engineers working directly with customers to build and ship software. Our panel will share what the role looks like day to day, how they work across engineering and customer teams, and stories from projects that took unexpected turns. We’ll talk about getting from a customer’s problem to something that works in production, the decisions along the way, and what they learned. If you’re a founder figuring out whether you need forward-deployed engineers, come hear how the role works in practice. If you’re already an FDE at a startup or a larger tech company, come meet others doing the job, compare experiences and learn from one another. Engineers curious about moving into the role are welcome too. Xyne talk Xyne AI Org OS: Seeing Everyday AI Work Through the Lens of System Performance Performance issues build up quietly in everyday work: context stuck with one person, decisions made without the full picture, teams solving the same problem twice, and knowledge scattered across tools, threads and AI conversations. Most of these trace back to silos between people, teams and information. This session looks at these everyday problems through the lens of system performance principles, helping you recognize where work slows down, why it happens and what the right fix looks like. We'll close with how an AI Org OS like Xyne can bring this lens into daily work. The evening includes a panel discussion, audience questions and time to meet other attendees. Friday 9 October, 6–9pm. Baseline, Dublin. Speakers will be announced once confirmed. Food & drinks will be provided Sponsors Kota is an employee benefits platform for modern teams. Kota connects benefits with HR systems to make enrolment and administration simpler for employers and employees. Xyne by Juspay — Xyne AI Org OS: Work needs the right context in the right place for people and AI alike. We'll share how we are organizing work in Xyne, and how the output of agents and collaborators becomes part of the shared context. You'll see how teams keep problems and their solutions together in one view, allowing understanding to build over time. About Give(a)Go Give(a)Go is a community of curious builders.
