Forward Deployed Engineer - U.S. Travel
Real Dev · Tel Aviv
REAL is building an AI Execution Platform for real estate organizations. Today, the data required to run real estate is scattered across PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, drawings, public records, and disconnected systems, leading to preventable leakage, missed obligations, and lost opportunities.
Used by leading enterprises, REAL transforms fragmented information into connected intelligence and automated action. Our AI-powered platform helps customers improve operational accuracy, uncover financial opportunities, and make better business decisions.
We’re looking for our first Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join REAL and help build this function from the ground up.
This is a highly technical, hands-on, and customer-facing role. You’ll be based in Israel, working closely with our Product and Engineering teams, while traveling regularly across the U.S. to work on-site with our enterprise customers.
You’ll work directly with customers to understand their business processes, technical environments, and operational challenges, and translate them into AI-powered solutions. You’ll own projects end-to-end — from discovery and requirements gathering through technical design, development, deployment, adoption, and continuous improvement.
As our first FDE, you’ll have a unique opportunity to define how REAL works with customers from a technical perspective, build the processes and best practices for this function, and play a key role in how we scale customer delivery.
We’re looking for a strong engineer with a product mindset who enjoys navigating ambiguity, working directly with customers, and turning complex business problems into scalable technical solutions.
