JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for Forward Deployed Engineers — elite technologists who embed directly with our clients to tackle their most critical growth challenges. In this role, you’ll work side-by-side with executives, engineers, and our Tier 1 consulting partners to design, deploy, and scale AI-powered workflows that transform how enterprises operate.

  • Partner with internal Product, Data Science, and Backend teams to deliver scalable, explainable, and reliable AI integrations.
  • Collaborate with strategic consulting partners to align technical efforts with client business goals and expansion opportunities.
  • Capture learnings and build reusable patterns, documentation, and internal playbooks to accelerate future deployments.
  • Communicate effectively with senior executives, advocating for optimal AI workflow strategies while gathering feedback for continuous improvement.
  • Partner with sales and customer success to ensure smooth onboarding, adoption, and expansion of workflows.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5+ years in a hybrid technical + client-facing role (e.g., Solution Architect, Forward Deployed Engineer, AI/ML Systems Engineer, Technical Consultant).
  • Experience deploying AI/ML workflows or intelligent applications (LLMs, RAG, forecasting, symbolic reasoning, etc.).
  • Strong coding background in Python, plus familiarity with GCP, Docker, FastAPI, LangChain/LangGraph, Elasticsearch, Snowflake, BigQuery.
  • Experience with data pipelines and distributed systems in production environments.
  • Proven ability to translate complex business challenges into structured technical solutions.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience building repeatable, scalable processes.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, including leading executive-level discussions and technical design sessions.

PERKS

  • Competitive compensation and equity in a rapidly growing company
  • 100% Company Paid Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401K Matching
  • Remote or Hybrid Work Schedule (Office located in Flatiron District, New York, NY)
  • Pet-friendly office
