Job Description

AI Forward Deployed Engineer | NYC | $180K–$300K + Equity

Are you an engineer who can walk into a complex customer environment, figure out what needs to be built, and actually ship it?

We’re hiring 2 AI Forward Deployed Engineers for a fast-growing AI startup putting supply chains on autopilot.

This is not a pure implementation or customer-success role. You’ll sit at the intersection of backend engineering, AI, enterprise integrations, and customer-facing problem solving—building production solutions for complex procurement and ERP workflows.

Compensation & Details

New York, NY — Hybrid
$180K–$300K + competitive equity
2 openings
Full-time
✈️ Occasional customer visits (~1–2x/month)
US Citizens / Green Card holders only — no visa sponsorship

Tech: Python, Django, React, TypeScript, NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Business Central, Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker, AWS, Azure, GCP

What makes this role different

You’ll:

Work directly with enterprise customers to understand procurement, ERP, and operational workflows
Turn ambiguous business requirements into scalable technical solutions
Build integrations with NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Business Central
Develop backend services and workflow automation using Python/Django
Build and ship customer-specific solutions into production
Partner with Product & Engineering to turn repeatable customer patterns into core platform capabilities
Support occasional customer workshops ~1–2x/month

What we’re looking for

Must-have:

6–8+ years in FDE, full-stack, or backend-heavy software engineering
Strong backend engineering and system design fundamentals
Production experience shipping software into customer environments
Experience building greenfield solutions/custom workflows
Strong Python, TypeScript, or Rust
Hands-on API, enterprise integration, or data-pipeline experience
Experience independently scoping customer/stakeholder requirements and building the solution
Experience at a Tier 1/2 tech company or recognizable high-growth startup
Uses AI coding tools daily; ideally has built/shipped AI features or agents
Not the right fit if:
Your background is primarily large enterprise/Big Tech with no startup or early-stage experience
You primarily implement predefined requirements rather than challenge assumptions and shape the solution

If you’re a strong FDE / backend / full-stack engineer who enjoys owning problems from customer discovery → architecture → implementation → production, I’d love to hear from you.
