Re:Sourced runs structured search for remote forward deployed engineers across Australia. Median 21 days from brief to signed offer, 90-day replacement guarantee, calibrated against an active national network of senior engineers.
The role
Customer-embedded engineer who ships production integrations inside client environments post-sale. Common in AI-native and enterprise SaaS. The qualifying pool is thin because the title only consolidated around 2023-24; most strong candidates carry other titles, so searches rely on profile translation rather than keyword sourcing.
Remote-first forward deployed engineering suits the role well: the work is customer-embedded and travel-based, so where the engineer lives matters less than the ability to drop into a client environment and ship. Re:Sourced sources remote forward deployed engineers nationwide, reaching strong candidates in cities without a deep local pool.

Yes. We source nationwide for remote-first forward deployed roles, drawing on senior candidates in and beyond the major capitals. The client travel the role involves makes full remote a natural fit at senior level.
