Forward Deployed Engineer
Theron Solutions
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer with 3–8 years of experience to embed directly inside Fortune 500 customer environments and ship automations, agents, and workflows. This is a deeply technical, customer-facing role at an early-stage AI company with real enterprise traction.
Qualifications:
- 3–8 years of professional experience.
- Full‑stack engineering background with solid backend systems expertise
- Proficient in Python or TypeScript/Node and have shipped customer‑facing production code .
- Ability to translate technical constraints into business‑level decisions and run end‑to‑end customer conversations.
- Familiarity with AWS (Lambda, ECS) and Docker .
- Hands‑on experience building and deploying AI agents or workflow automations for enterprise customers.
- Background at an early‑stage startup (seed‑Series C) or a large tech company
- Must not be a pure solutions engineer (no coding ownership) or a pure data‑science/analytics profile, and should have stable employment history
- Willing to travel 20‑25% (roughly one day per week), primarily domestic with occasional international trips.
What will you be doing?
- Deploy inside enterprise customer environments and own automation delivery end-to-end from scoping through production rollout.
- Build automations, AI agents, and workflows (ranging from simple programmatic automations to multi-step LLM agents)
- Navigate stakeholder governance, implementation constraints, and permissioning requirements across customer orgs then translate those into engineering specs.
- Feed signal back to the product team on how the platform performs in real customer environments
