Joining Sprinto means you will never run alone; you will always have the freedom to take your shot and the support to go farther than you imagined. What the Role Involves: The Forward Deployment Engineer sits at the intersection of customer operations and technical execution.

Configure and deploy customer solutions across Sprinto modules and connected systems; use APIs and custom integrations when native workflows are not enough.

Convert repeated customer requests into reusable playbooks, templates, accelerators, and design patterns that improve future deployments. Partner closely with Solutions Engineers, CSMs, GRC experts, Product, and Engineering to balance customer customisation with repeatability and product direction. Support escalated post-go-live workflow issues where the fix requires technical depth, process redesign, or new deployment patterns.
