Forward Deployed Engineer (Onsite SF)

Engineering at Omni

We’re building the AI-powered infrastructure layer for small business lending. Helping banks and fintechs automate the messy work of collecting documents, filling out financial models, and doing public research on millions of SMBs across the country.

There are 34 million small businesses in the U.S., and every one of them needs capital. We’re making it radically easier for lenders to serve them. At Omni we run everything from initial application, third party data aggregation, OCR and financial data extraction, and continuous borrower communication.

This role is on site in San Francisco. No exceptions.

What you’ll do

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you’ll work directly with our customers — banks, fintechs, and lenders — to bring Omni’s platform to life inside their organizations. You’ll sit alongside their teams, design integrations, and help transform how they operate day-to-day.

Expect to

• Travel frequently to customer sites across the U.S. to lead implementations and on-the-ground problem solving
• Collaborate with product and AI teams to adapt Omni’s infrastructure for each lender’s unique workflow
• Work with real production data and complex integrations (Salesforce, nCino, Fiserv, Jack Henry, etc.)
• Represent Omni at conferences and customer events — our whole team travels for major conferences like Finovate, Lend360, and NAGGL
• Deliver fast, scrappy solutions that turn into long-term systems used by thousands of borrowers

This is a deeply technical and highly visible role. You’ll be both an engineer and an ambassador, shaping how banks adopt AI-first infrastructure

• What you’ll work on
• There’s a lot that goes into commercial lending, and we’re tackling every step of the process. Some of the core concepts will be:

Structuring messy PDFs into clean, machine-readable data across every type of business document imaginable. We’ve spent more than a year building incredibly high accuracy OCR pipelines (including building a major open source library: https://github.com/getomni-ai/zerox)

Aggregating millions of unstructured data points from 50+ government and public data sources (UCC filings, liens, licenses, tax records, etc.) into usable intelligence for lenders. As well as using third party data (credit bureaus, KYC, AML).

Designing AI workflows that combine OCR, LLMs, and rule-based systems into predictable, production-ready outputs. And learning how to build Human <=> AI interfaces that are intuitive (i.e. HIL, model feedback, supervision, reporting).

Building real-time financial models to underwrite SMBs faster and more accurately.

Creating internal tools for sourcing, labeling, and generating massive training datasets (see: Infinite PDF Generator)

You’ll also help bridge the gap between our engineering roadmap and the real-world challenges lenders face.

Tech Stack

We primarily use Node, TypeScript, React/Next.js, Postgres, Docker, and K8.

We integrate with external systems like Salesforce, Hubspot, nCino, and several bank specific core systems (Jack Henry, Fiserv, etc.). This role also requires willingness to occasionally get your hands dirty with some esoteric banking tech. We’re talking SOAP APIs, SFTP servers, and the occasional fax machine API.

On the AI side, we mainly interface with OpenAI and Gemini models. Customers can deploy Omni either via cloud or VPC, so familiarity with containerization and DevOps is valuable.
