What the job involves

• We are looking for a Forward Deployed AI Engineer to work closely with clients to identify, prototype, and deploy AI-powered solutions to real-world business challenges
• This is a highly hands-on, customer-facing role combining AI engineering, software development, solution architecture, and consulting. You will work directly with users and stakeholders to understand their needs, rapidly build solutions, and iterate based on real-world feedback
• Work directly with clients to understand business challenges, workflows, data, systems, and technical requirements
• Translate ambiguous problems into practical AI and software solutions
• Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications, agents, copilots, and intelligent workflows
• Integrate LLMs, Generative AI, APIs, enterprise systems, and data sources
• Rapidly prototype solutions and validate them with users
• Develop supporting APIs, services, data pipelines, and application infrastructure
• Design scalable, secure, and maintainable technical architectures
• Implement evaluation, monitoring, observability, and feedback mechanisms for AI solutions
• Collaborate with product, data, engineering, and business teams to move successful prototypes into production
• Communicate technical concepts and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• What Success Looks Like:
• You will be successful when you can take an ambiguous customer problem and turn it into a working AI capability that people actually use
• The role requires someone who can move quickly between:
• Customer problem → solution design → architecture → code → prototype → user feedback → iteration → production
