About the Role
This is a founding opportunity for a technically versatile, customer-focused engineer who wants to work directly with company leadership, own end-to-end AI deployments, and help shape how AI is implemented across entire industries. You'll have significant ownership from day one and play a foundational role in building the Forward Deployed Engineering function.
Responsibilities
- Lead customer discovery: Work directly with enterprise customers and senior stakeholders to understand business challenges, identify opportunities for AI adoption, and translate requirements into technical specifications.

- Own end-to-end deployments: Manage the full implementation lifecycle, from initial discovery and zero-to-one development through production deployment, customer adoption, and ongoing maintenance.
- Work closely with customers: Spend time on-site with customers, including engaging with C-level executives and operational teams to ensure solutions address real business needs.
- Develop reusable AI infrastructure: Build shared ontologies, common data models, and workflows that connect customer deployments and enable repeatable, productized solutions across vertical SaaS businesses.
- Shape AI strategy: Partner directly with the co-founders and Head of AI to define priorities, evaluate opportunities, and execute the company's Applied AI strategy.
- Drive measurable impact: Ensure deployed solutions deliver meaningful business value, improve operational workflows, and achieve sustained customer adoption.
- Help build the FDE function: Establish deployment methodologies, technical standards, and customer engagement practices while helping grow the Forward Deployed Engineering team.

- Strong technical versatility across the full stack, including system architecture, data pipelines, application development, and LLM application patterns.
- Hands-on experience building and deploying AI-powered applications or complex software solutions for enterprise customers.
- Ability to translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical requirements, system designs, and working solutions.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to work directly with senior executives and technical teams.
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent technical expertise.
- Based in or willing to relocate to New York City or Chicago, with the ability to work on-site five days per week.
