Born from UC Berkeley’s RISELab, we solve the core challenge blocking AI adoption at scale: security concerns about data leaks or compliance violations. OPAQUE provides verifiable privacy and governance for AI so organizations can safely run models, agents, and workflows on their most sensitive data. Its Confidential AI platform delivers verifiable runtime governance backed by cryptographic proof that data, models, and agent actions remain private, governed, and compliant with approved policies throughout every AI workflow. This extends traditional data governance tools with real runtime verification, enabling teams to responsibly deploy AI using their most valuable proprietary data, and move from pilot to production 4-5X faster. Customers and partners include ServiceNow, Anthropic, Encore Capital, Accenture, and leaders across high tech, financial services, insurance, and healthcare.\nLearn More at Opaque.co\nRead about our Values at Opaque.co/about\nABOUT THIS ROLE\nAs a Forward Deployed Engineer (AI) at OPAQUE Systems, you are the technical bridge between our enterprise customers and OPAQUE's confidential AI platform. You will work directly with customer engineering teams - from initial architecture review through production deployment - helping them install and deploy OPAQUE in their environment, and build AI solutions (agents / agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, LLM integrations) that run on OPAQUE's confidential AI platform.\nThis is a hands-on technical role. You will write code, run POCs, architect solutions, and own the customer's path from \"interested\" to \"getting value.\" You will also be a critical signal source for the product team - the patterns you see in the field shape what OPAQUE builds next.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nDevelop custom AI / agentic solutions tailored to customer needs\nLead technical discovery and architecture scoping with enterprise customers - translate vague AI / agentic aspirations into concrete implementation plans.\nDesign and build production-grade solutions for agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and LLM integrations on OPAQUE's platform.\nPartner with customer engineering teams through production deployment - unblock integration issues, debug failures, and ensure the solution is maintainable.\nRun technical whiteboard sessions, architecture reviews, and POC demonstrations with CTO, CISO, and engineering leader audiences.\nSynthesize field observations into product feedback - use case patterns, integration friction, objections, and feature gaps.\nBuild reusable artifacts: integration guides, POC templates, architectural reference designs, and objection playbooks.\nStay ahead of the AI landscape - agentic frameworks, RAG techniques, LLM capabilities, enterprise AI tooling.\nQUALIFICATIONS\n5+ years of software engineering experience working on production AI/ML systems\nHands-on experience building agentic workflows: tool use, multi-agent orchestration, memory architecture, agent reliability patterns.\nDeep hands-on experience with RAG pipeline design: chunking strategies, embedding models, vector databases, retrieval quality evaluation, re-ranking.\nStrong Python skills; experience with AI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar).\nExperience integrating with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) in enterprise production environments.\nAbility to work directly with enterprise customer teams - comfortable with executive-level technical conversations.\nStrong understanding of enterprise deployment constraints: IAM, data residency, network topology, compliance requirements (SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP).\nSecurity-aware engineering mindset - understands trust boundaries, data flow, and why cryptographic attestation matters for regulated industries.\nBonus: Experience with confidential computing, TEEs, or privacy-preserving AI.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3870,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Cloud Security","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-30T15:41:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.322,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":175,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/opaque-systems-forward-deployed-engineer-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/opaque-systems-forward-deployed-engineer-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T21:02:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5440,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":63487},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63487"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopaque-systems-forward-deployed-engineer-ai"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fopaque-systems-forward-deployed-engineer-ai"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fopaque-systems-forward-deployed-engineer-ai"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/opaque-systems-forward-deployed-engineer-ai\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopaque-systems-forward-deployed-engineer-ai"}]}
