Foxglove hires Forward Deployed Engineer for EU robotics ops

Foxglove, the leading observability platform for robotics, is expanding its European footprint with a new Forward Deployed Frontend Engineer position. The role is designed for product-minded full-stack engineers who thrive in customer-facing environments and want to solve complex challenges at the intersection of robotics and data visualization. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with strategic customers to integrate Foxglove into their existing robotics stacks, extending the platform's capabilities within diverse operational contexts. This is not a typical back-office engineering role; it requires deep technical adaptability, close collaboration with customer engineering teams, and the ability to translate on-the-ground needs into upstream product improvements. Candidates should expect to handle everything from frontend UI customization in React/Three.js to backend data pipelines, all while acting as a trusted partner that ensures Foxglove becomes a seamless part of real-world robotic workflows.

The position reflects Foxglove's growing emphasis on enterprise adoption and its commitment to bridging the gap between open-source tooling and production-grade deployment. By embedding engineers directly with customers, the company aims to accelerate integration cycles and gather actionable feedback that shapes the core product roadmap. The ideal candidate will have strong frontend skills, experience with ROS 2 or similar robotic middleware, and a proven track record of working in fast-paced, client-driven environments. Foxglove offers full remote work within EU time zones, competitive compensation, and the chance to shape how autonomous systems are debugged and monitored at scale. As robotics moves from labs to factories and streets, roles like this highlight the growing need for engineers who can build bridges between software platforms and operational reality.
