Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role
Join a fast-growing AI transformation team building and deploying production AI systems for enterprise clients. In this hands-on role, you will work across client environments and partner with business and engineering leaders to turn high-impact opportunities into systems that deliver value in production.
What You'll Do
Design, build, and deploy AI workflows and agentic systems for enterprise clients, owning projects from architecture through production.
Learn unfamiliar codebases and contribute production code with a high degree of independence.
Work directly with executives and engineering teams across industries, including finance, entertainment, and consumer goods.
Use modern AI coding tools to accelerate development and deliver robust software.
Collaborate with AI strategists to scope opportunities and build systems that operate reliably in client environments.
What We're Looking For
Three to eight years of software engineering experience, with evidence of personally building and shipping substantial production systems.
Full-stack product engineering experience, including hands-on development and deployment, rather than a solely data, academic, or solutions-focused background.
Production experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including familiarity with real cloud infrastructure challenges.
Strong communication skills and comfort working with enterprise stakeholders and engineering teams.
A high-ownership, adaptable approach suited to a fast-paced startup environment and in-person client work.
Experience with Python and TypeScript is relevant; familiarity with agentic AI systems and coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex is a plus.
