Forward Deployed Engineer

The Opportunity

A fast-growing AI platform serving enterprise customers is building out its deployment team to own the technical side of client rollouts end-to-end. You'll be the primary technical contact for major accounts, taking AI-powered solutions from configuration to production and keeping them running at scale.

This is not a support role. It's not pre-sales. It's a heavy engineering function with full client ownership — the kind of work where you're in architecture discussions with a CTO one hour and debugging a production incident the next. If you move fast, think in systems, and want your name on the accounts you deploy, this is where that happens.

What You'll Own

• Lead the full deployment lifecycle for enterprise integrations — from initial client configuration through production go-live and ongoing reliability.
• Serve as the primary technical contact for a portfolio of enterprise clients: run architecture discussions, own escalations, and keep systems healthy.
• Build and maintain monitoring infrastructure, dashboards, and alerting systems that surface issues before they become client problems.
• Own backend and API integrations across enterprise systems, ensuring secure and stable production operation.
• Translate client requirements into scalable solutions within platform constraints, and bring patterns back to product and engineering to close gaps.
• Drive a data-informed approach to deployments through logging and analytics systems that enable proactive optimization.

What We're Looking For

• 2–5 years in a client-facing technical role — solutions engineering, technical consulting, or deployment/implementation. You've owned external relationships, not just supported them.
• Python in production — backend services, APIs, automation. Scripting-only experience is not sufficient.
• Docker for containerized deployments. Kubernetes experience is a strong plus.
• REST API integrations at enterprise scale — day one capability, no ramp-up needed.
• Comfortable owning complex enterprise stakeholder relationships independently — from architecture decisions to escalation handling, without hand-holding.
• AI-assisted development mindset — you use AI tooling to move faster and expect it to handle the majority of your code.
• Native-level English fluency — written and verbal. You'll interface directly with CTOs and senior executives.
• PST full business hours availability — based in LATAM, full overlap required.

Nice to Have

• Background in AI, NLP, or conversational systems
• Experience with VoIP, SIP/RTP, CCaaS, or CPaaS platforms
• Experience at a contact center technology or voice infrastructure company
• Exposure to enterprise backend service architecture and multi-system integrations

Tools and Stack

Python, Docker, Kubernetes, SIP/RTP, REST APIs & monitoring/observability tooling (*Specifics TBD by client stack)

Details

• Location: Remote, Latin America
• Time Zone: PST overlap required (full business hours)
• Salary: Competitive — share your expectations when you apply.
• Type: Contract, full-time
• Start: ASAP
