About the Role

As a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer, you will be an embedded AI-native builder identifying high-impact problems and delivering practical technology solutions that create immediate business value. This hands-on role is for individuals who thrive in ambiguity, enjoy open-ended problem solving, and possess a strong builder mentality. You will be deeply fluent in modern AI capabilities, comfortable working across evolving technology stacks, and motivated by creating leverage through automation, workflow optimization, and intelligent tooling. Success requires a balance of technical execution, business partnership, rapid iteration, and practical problem-solving. Solutions may range from lightweight operational tools to scalable systems.

Build AI-native solutions leveraging LLMs, intelligent automation, workflow orchestration, and modern AI tooling to improve operational speed, visibility, and decision-making.
Build integrations and connectors across tools and platforms including Slack, Microsoft 365, Oracle, Snowflake, Sigma, Airtable, and Notion to streamline workflows, automate handoffs, and centralize information.
Translate ambiguous business problems into practical technical solutions with a strong focus on speed, usability, and value creation.
Quickly develop fluency in the business context, financial processes, and operational priorities of each function supported, enabling independent problem identification.
Collaborate with finance, operations, and technology stakeholders to iterate quickly and refine solutions based on real-world feedback and evolving business needs.
Work closely with broader engineering and technology teams to transition high-value solutions into scalable, production-ready systems.
Evaluate and experiment with emerging AI technologies, tools, and frameworks to continuously improve internal capabilities and operational leverage.
Operate as a trusted technical partner to business leaders, helping shape solution strategy and implementation priorities.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience building and shipping software, automations, internal tools, or AI-enabled solutions.
Strong hands-on experience with modern AI tools, LLMs, agentic workflows, and practical AI application development.
Experience rapidly prototyping and deploying business-facing technical solutions in fast-paced or ambiguous environments.
Strong proficiency in modern programming languages and development frameworks such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, or similar technologies.
Experience integrating APIs, operational platforms, databases, and third-party business systems.
Demonstrated ability to independently identify problems, architect solutions, and drive implementation with minimal oversight.
Experience building dashboards, workflow automations, reporting tools, or operational systems that improve business processes and decision-making.
Strong understanding of AI-assisted development workflows and modern productivity tooling.
Ability to balance quick experimentation with thoughtful technical judgment and scalability considerations.
Ability to quickly internalize financial processes, business metrics, and operational context — translating business problems into technical solutions without hand-holding.
