Position Overview

Forward Deployed Engineers are embedded directly with enterprise customers and serve as their primary technical point of contact across the full delivery lifecycle. FDEs own the relationship as much as the technology — translating business needs into AI solutions, anticipating blockers before they surface, and communicating progress with clarity to both executive sponsors and engineering teams. This is a customer-facing role where technical excellence and outstanding communication are equally non-negotiable.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Lead stakeholder workshops, ask the right questions proactively, document requirements before the customer thinks to ask, and establish trust from day one. Translate business needs into conversation flows, escalation paths, and agent skill boundaries, presenting options clearly to all sponsors and teams. Implement GECX agents end-to-end including prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, API integrations, and GCP infrastructure while proactively flagging scope risks. Build automated evaluation frameworks, define acceptance criteria with the customer, and communicate quality status transparently to avoid go-live surprises. Lead production deployments with clear cutover communications to all stakeholders and brief executive sponsors proactively before they ask. Stay embedded through stabilization, surface performance insights, communicate incident status in plain language, and train customer teams to own their GECX agents.
