About the Role
As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, AI Infrastructure & Deployments, you will own end-to-end delivery for technically demanding customer engagements, from solution architecture through deployment within customer cloud, data infrastructure, and compliance environments. This is a deeply technical role with direct customer context, involving writing production code, designing cloud-native deployment patterns, building integrations, developing MCP servers, and debugging issues in complex environments. You will translate customer requirements into scalable solutions, communicate with stakeholders, surface risks, and make tradeoffs between speed and rigor. This role is ideal for individuals who thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and enjoy solving complex problems in partnership with customers.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and deploy AI-native solutions inside customer environments, including MCP servers, agentic workflows, and custom integrations.
- Own the infrastructure layer for customer deployments, including Terraform-managed AWS environments, VPC networking, IAM, security controls, and data isolation requirements.
- Work with large-scale data across tools like Databricks, Delta Lake, Snowflake, and S3, debugging pipeline failures, optimizing performance, and building integrations.
- Drive day-to-day technical engagement with customer stakeholders by scoping work, communicating progress, explaining tradeoffs, surfacing risks, and building trust.
- Turn field learnings into reusable FDE patterns, deployment templates, engineering standards, and roadmap input for Core Platform and architecture governance.
- Contribute reusable deployment patterns to the FDE playbook.
- Participate in Komodo’s architecture governance, influencing platform decisions.
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Data, and Core Engineering to close gaps and shape the roadmap.
Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of building and owning systems that run in production.
- Hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications, agentic workflows, or AI tools beyond prototypes.
- Strong AWS and Terraform experience, including VPC networking, IAM, security controls, and standing up reliable customer or single-tenant environments.
- Strong Python skills, experience with APIs, async service patterns, and building software that other teams, customers, or businesses depend on.
- Experience working with large-scale data systems such as Databricks, Delta Lake, Snowflake, S3, or similar platforms.
- Comfort designing for data isolation, customer security requirements, and regulated environments with constraints such as SOC 2, BAA, HIPAA, or similar considerations.
- Experience building integration surfaces for AI systems, including MCP servers or equivalent patterns.
- Ability to lead technical conversations with customer engineers and senior stakeholders, explain tradeoffs clearly, drive alignment, and build trust.
- Ability to work across infrastructure, application, data, and AI layers, find a path when one does not already exist, and deliver on commitments.
