Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer

Role Description

The Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer is a hands-on engineering role responsible for rapidly delivering AI-driven solutions that improve ARCHER’s operations across core platforms and workflows. This role works directly with business stakeholders to identify, prototype, and deploy solutions using LLMs, agentic workflows, document intelligence, and enterprise integrations. The engineer operates in a highly iterative model, using AI-assisted development tools to deliver working solutions in days to weeks rather than traditional development cycles.

Success requires strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to independently navigate systems, data, and ambiguity to produce measurable outcomes.
