Forward Deployed AI Engineer

Below covers everything you need to know about what this opportunity entails, as well as what is expected from applicants.

We're an early-stage, founder-led startup building an AI-powered platform for a specialized enterprise niche. It's a small team — you'll work directly with the founders, move fast from idea to live customer, and hold real equity in the outcome.

What You'll Do

• Build custom features and workflows for enterprise clients on our core platform
• Go from prototype to production quickly, refining based on direct customer feedback
• Work across the stack — modern front end, backend services, and AI-driven components
• Manage a few customer projects at once
• Visit client sites to learn workflows firsthand and gather feedback
• Turn one-off customer solutions into reusable product features

What We're Looking For

• 1–5 years of engineering experience with strong full-stack skills
• Experience building applications that use LLMs (agents, tool use, structured outputs)
• A portfolio or side projects that real users have touched
• Comfortable working directly with customers, not just specs
• Able to ship within xhyhwjd existing engineering standards and processes
• In-person role, full-time

Good Fit If

• You're early-career and want more ownership than your current role offers
• You enjoy travelling to see how businesses actually operate
• You've shipped projects end-to-end with minimal oversight
• You're curious and pick up new domains quickly
