Job Description
We’re partnering with multiple cutting-edge AI companies building category-defining products. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work directly with customers and internal product teams to deploy, customize, and scale AI-driven solutions in complex, real-world environments.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering fundamentals (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, or similar)
- Experience working close to users — whether as an FDE, solutions engineer, platform engineer, or product-minded SWE
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and unstructured problem spaces
- Ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Bias toward action, ownership, and shipping real things
- Interest in AI/ML systems (hands-on experience is great, but not always required)
