Their team combines deep technical expertise with hands-on collaboration alongside domain professionals to develop practical tools that improve productivity, decision-making, and knowledge management in real-world environments. They believe there is a significant opportunity to apply modern machine learning systems to workflows that have historically relied on fragmented software, manual processes, and institutional knowledge.\nWhy This Role Matters\nThey are looking for early engineering hires to work closely with the founding team on building the first generation of our platform and internal tooling. This FDE role offers broad ownership across product development, systems architecture, user discovery, and deployment. You’ll help shape both the technical direction of the company and the way modern AI systems are integrated into complex operational environments. The work involves close interaction with end users, rapid iteration cycles, and solving ambiguous problems in domains where software adoption has historically lagged behind.\nWhat You’ll Do\nWork directly with users and operators to understand workflows, pain points, and opportunities for automation\nDesign, build, and deploy production systems end-to-end\nCollaborate with leadership on technical architecture, engineering culture, and product direction\nDevelop core platform capabilities across data systems, workflow infrastructure, automation tooling, and internal knowledge management systems\nBuild internal tools and integrations across a variety of third-party systems and environments\nIterate quickly based on real-world feedback and operational constraints\nWhat We Look For\nStrong curiosity and systems thinking\nComfortable operating in ambiguous environments with incomplete information\nExcellent communication and collaboration skills\nAbility to translate noisy user feedback into practical product decisions\nHigh ownership mindset and willingness to work across the stack\nHas experience working with LLMs, Agent Frameworks or RAG\nWillingness to travel occasionally for user research and fieldwork\nPragmatic approach to problem-solving with a bias toward shipping\nApply today!","description_format":"text","description_chars":2345,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T22:49:28Z"}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.9,"p_active":0.154,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":108,"expected_fill_days":113,"reasons":["conf:48","agency","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/umatr-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/umatr-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-29T04:02:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3794,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1206,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-30T00:00:00Z"}}}
