Forward Deployed Engineer (Early-Career)
First seen by Alion on Nov 13, 2026.
You will build AI solutions for industrial operators and big organizations with complex problems, using our tech based on knowledge graphs, ontologies, and neurosymbolic AI. You go to the client, figure out what they really need, plan the solution, build a demo, and then scale it.
We are looking for people who are very motivated and want to learn fast. Remote in Poland, about 25% travel.
We think this is what developer jobs will look like in a few years: AI-driven development, done right next to the business. Here you get a chance to be ahead of the curve.
What this job is not- Not sales. You don't sell – you solve problems.
- Not a pure dev job. You must talk to the client, and you will do it a lot.
- Not classic consulting. You don't hand over slides and leave – you build the thing you promised.
We are hiring ~2 people for this role. We are looking for people early in their career who are hungry to learn.
What can we give you- A career super-accelerator. We will teach you ontologies, neurosymbolic AI, probably a new programming language, how to design UIs, and more. You just can't be afraid to learn new things.
- Real and hard business problems. Projects for industrial operators and large organizations, solved with the latest tech.
- A flexible career path. After some time you can move to remote contracts, core platform work (R&D, scientific), or do more on-site contracts.
- Equity on top of the base salary.
- Flexible working hours (outside client meetings).
- Remote work within Poland.
- Negotiable type of contract.
- Regular team integrations (physical and virtual).
We are a small team, where we strongly prefer to give each team member ownership of a particular topic. There is no bureaucratic process. If you want to talk to the CEO/CTO, just hit them up on chat.
We are remote-first. When you're not at a client site, you can work the hours that suit you best.
Our team members come from open source communities, academia, and tech. It's a place where you'll have access to some very smart folks that are a pleasure to work with.
How to applyAside from your resume, the following would be helpful for us (not mandatory):
- A portfolio or your own designs: apps, UIs, demos you built.
- Hackathons, contests or side projects you are proud of.
- Anything that shows you can work with clients or present your ideas.
You can put these links either in the resume, or in the dedicated application form field.
About NeverBlink
At NeverBlink we are on a mission to make knowledge graphs and ontologies accessible to the masses, making AI systems more useful and more aligned with human intent. We build infrastructure software – the new generation of data products to be used by top companies worldwide. We believe that open-source is the only way to reach this goal and we release as much as possible to the community.
Our tech is built on deep R&D done in collaboration with international partners. The work is partially funded from EU grants.
NeverBlink has an international team, with headquarters in Warsaw, Poland. We are a remote-first company. In this role, you will be expected to travel to client sites and to Warsaw, but relocation is not required.
Zakres obowiązków
- The main goal is simple: solve hard, real business problems.
- Learn the client's business – study how it works and where it loses time and money. Work hand in hand with the client to get the requirements out of them and put them in order.
- Plan the project and present it to the client.
- Build a working demo fast, then grow it into a real solution.
- Build UIs that people actually want to use.
- Use AI coding agents to their full advantage.
- Contribute to our shared codebase of knowledge graph and AI technology. You will use the latest tech and become its co-creator. You won't waste your time on legacy frameworks that everyone will forget about in 5 years.
