Forward Deployed Engineer | New Graduate

Role At A Glance

This is not your typical software engineering role. We are on the ground, shoulder to shoulder with our clients - whether it's working on predictive maintenance on US Navy ships, aiding the Air Force or optimizing efficiency in a manufacturing plant - we are the first line of defense in solving these hard hitting problems. We are not afraid to pick up new technologies and will use whatever tool we have in our toolbox to create change. When our priorities shift, we shift with them. We don't just speak to our clients about their problems, we travel (often) to their sites to see first hand what they are experiencing. We are impact makers - game changers. We are leveraging data and insight from team members across Gecko to build the best possible solution for our clients. Are you ready to join us?

What You Will Do

Solve Real Problems: We search for the highest impact problems we can find, we spend a lot of time with our customers to understand their true nature, we come up with new ways, and we don't quit until we've reached impact.

Growth: The problems we work on are hard. No one has yet solved them. We are constantly learning and trying - and that includes learning about ourselves. We are a group who loves to grow - even if it requires hard work to do so.
