Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer - Autonomous AI

We’re partnered with a globally renowned applied AI company building end-to-end autonomous software agents designed to fundamentally change how engineering teams operate. Their products combine advanced reasoning models with developer-native tooling to enable engineers to focus on higher-leverage work and solve more ambitious technical problems.

The team is small, highly technical, and talent-dense, bringing together elite engineers, former founders, and operators from some of the most respected AI and technology companies in the world. They’re still early in their journey, with many of their hardest engineering and product challenges still ahead.

About the Role

As a Deployed Engineer, you’ll work directly with engineering teams to deploy AI systems into real production environments. You’ll help customers identify high-impact use cases, lead integrations and pilots, troubleshoot technical issues, and drive long-term product adoption.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success, combining hands-on technical work with customer partnership and rapid execution. You’ll operate across a broad range of technical environments and play a key role in shaping how the platform evolves through direct customer feedback.

Requirements

• Strong engineering foundation from a rigorous technical environment
