About the Role

Forward Deployed Engineers build production systems that customers rely on by embedding with clients, understanding their workflows, and defining and solving problems with Luma's AI models and APIs. This role is for individuals who thrive in ambiguous environments and have experience owning complex technical challenges from inception to deployment.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, constraints, and goals, and define the problem yourself.
• Build production systems on Luma's APIs, models, and internal tools.
• Prototype, ship, iterate, and maintain systems customers depend on in real environments with real data.
• Own projects end to end, from first conversation to deployed system.
• Build around platform gaps when something's missing, and feed recurring patterns back to platform and R&D to productize.
• Use AI to accelerate implementation, while the core of the work stays engineering judgment: what to build and how to make it reliable.

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional software engineering, with software shipped end to end.
• Ability to work across the stack and learn unfamiliar systems quickly.
• Willingness to travel to client sites as needed.
• A track record of shipping real systems with real users, not just assigned tasks.
• High agency and strong prioritization: you find the core problem and move.
• Comfort defining your own path when there isn't one.
• Evidence of working directly with customers and translating what you heard into what you built.
• Clear communication, including explaining a technical decision to a non-technical stakeholder.
