About the Role
We’re hiring Forward Deployed Product Engineers to deploy production AI agents inside some of the world’s largest logistics companies. You’ll work directly with customer operators, engineers, and executives to understand critical workflows, design integrations, debug production systems, and ship AI-powered workflows into business-critical environments. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer operations, owning deployments from discovery through launch. You’ll solve complex operational problems and turn those solutions into reusable product capabilities. Success is measured by your ability to get systems live, make them reliable, and solve problems in environments you do not fully control. The patterns and problems you uncover will directly influence product features and platform capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Reverse engineer undocumented APIs, ERPs, TMS platforms, and internal tools with minimal guidance.
- Design and build integrations between customer systems and Pallet’s AI platform.
- Debug production failures across distributed systems, authentication layers, data pipelines, and third-party services.
- Work onsite with customers to diagnose issues, ship fixes, and drive successful launches.
- Own customer deployments end-to-end, from technical discovery through production stability.
- Make pragmatic engineering tradeoffs under real-world constraints and tight timelines.
- Identify recurring implementation patterns and turn them into reusable product capabilities.
- Partner closely with engineering and product teams to shape the roadmap based on customer needs.
Requirements
- 2–5 years of experience building and owning production systems in high-growth startups or similarly demanding environments.
- Strong experience working with APIs, integrations, authentication systems, and event-driven architectures.
- Proven ability to debug complex systems in production.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where documentation is incomplete, and requirements evolve quickly.
