San Francisco · Member of Technical Staff (Forward Deployed Engineer) · Legal AI
ABOUT EUDIA
Eudia is redefining how Fortune 500 legal teams operate. Built on the principle of Augmented Intelligence, Eudia’s platform combines AI automation with human expertise to help legal departments work faster, manage risk more effectively, and generate measurable business value.
Founded in 2023 and now 80 people strong, Eudia has already earned the trust of global enterprises including Cargill, Coherent, DHL, and Duracell. In 2024 the company closed a $105M Series A led by General Catalyst, one of the largest early-stage rounds in the legal AI space, underlining the scale of the opportunity they are pursuing.
THE CHALLENGE
Eudia needed a Member of Technical Staff with a Forward Deployed Engineering background: someone who could work directly with Fortune 500 customers, integrate complex enterprise data systems into the Eudia platform, and translate ambiguous customer requirements into robust technical solutions.
It is a demanding profile. Forward Deployed Engineers need to combine strong technical depth (Python, JavaScript, Java, API integrations, data pipelines) with the communication skills to operate effectively with non-technical stakeholders at some of the world’s largest organisations. They also needed to be comfortable going on-site in Palo Alto five days a week, in a high-growth, fast-moving environment where startup adaptability matters as much as engineering skill.
WHY AMIGOS?
Eudia engaged us because of our track record placing engineers at VC-backed AI startups in San Francisco and our access to the calibre of candidate their role demanded. Engineers who are comfortable in customer-facing, technically complex environments and who bring the seniority to operate independently with enterprise clients are not easy to find. Our network in the SF startup ecosystem meant we weren’t starting from scratch.
OUR APPROACH
We worked closely with the Eudia team to build a precise picture of what success looked like in this role, going beyond the job specification to understand the customer environments the engineer would be working in and the specific integration challenges they would face. With that foundation in place, we activated our network across the SF engineering community, focusing on candidates with genuine Forward Deployed or Solutions Engineering experience who had shipped custom solutions at customer sites.
THE RESULT
We successfully placed a Member of Technical Staff into the Forward Deployed Engineering function at Eudia, supporting their ongoing expansion into Fortune 500 enterprise accounts. The engineer brought the technical depth and customer-facing experience the role required, ready to integrate immediately into Eudia’s client delivery teams.
