AI Forward Deployed Engineer (New York)
Full-time
Alldus
Overview
This role lives at the intersection of the customer and the central platform codebase: you’ll work directly with PE portfolio companies to scope, build, and ship AI agents against real operational data, as well as build out the core platform. Half forward-deployed engineer, half platform builder.
What You’ll Own
- Forward Deployment: Embed with customers — PE firms and their portcos — to scope problems, design solutions, and ship AI agents against live operational data.
- Solution Engineering: Translate messy, real-world workflows into working systems: entity resolution, workflow inference, and agent deployment.
- Customer Trust: Be the technical face in the room — earn credibility with operators and GPs, run demos, and own outcomes end-to-end.
- Rapid Prototyping: Stand up POCs and pilots fast using AI-native tooling. •
- Feedback Loop: Partner with the CTO and product to close the loop between what you do in the field and the central roadmap.
Ideal Background
- Experience: 5–10 years building production software, ideally with direct customer or stakeholder exposure (forward-deployed, solutions/sales engineering, or founding-team work).
- AI Nativity: Fluent with modern LLM tooling — coding agents, retrieval, evals, and agent frameworks — and shipping with them daily.
- Technical Fluency: Strong in Python and/or TypeScript, comfortable across the stack and with data (SQL, ETL, wrangling messy enterprise systems).
- Customer Instinct: Can sit with a non-technical operator, diagnose the real problem, and translate it into a scoped technical solution.
- Bias to Ship: Comfortable owning ambiguous, high-stakes deployments end-to-end under time pressure.
Bonus Points
- Startup DNA: Early hire or founder; comfortable wearing many hats and owning high-impact work endto-end.
- Data Depth: Experience with entity resolution, data unification, or building on modern warehouses/lakehouses such as Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery.
Key Competencies
- Customer-Obsessed Builder: Equal parts engineer and trusted advisor — motivated by shipping things customers actually use.
- Intensity & Resourcefulness: Relentless about getting to the right answer; finds a way through when the path isn’t obvious. •
- High Accountability: Communicates clearly, owns outcomes, and thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
