As a Forward-Deployed Engineer at ShipBob, you'll embed directly within business teams to eliminate manual, repetitive, error-prone workflows. You'll map out how work really happens, identify automation opportunities, and rapidly build end-to-end solutions. This is an AI-first engineering role where you'll design and deploy agentic workflows using code, APIs, and AI agents. You'll work on everything from micro-automations to large-scale AI-driven solutions, bridging the gap between operations and engineering while maintaining ShipBob's structured engineering principles.
Job Responsibility:
Embed with our operational teams to observe workflows, uncover root causes, and identify where AI agents can meaningfully reduce friction
Break down complex, manual processes into clean system flows and technical requirements
Own the full lifecycle: observe → prototype → validate with domain experts → harden → productionize
Build reliable systems with logging, retries, monitoring, and guardrails for edge cases
Collaborate with Product and Engineering when automations interface with core systems
operate independently for everything else
Validate solutions with domain experts and iterate quickly based on feedback
Document and publish reusable modules into our Automation Hub that accelerate future automation projects
Drive fast iteration: ship small, gather feedback, and improve quickly
Requirements:
1-3 years of experience building AI agents that automate real workflows and eliminate manual work
Deep proficiency in Python, TypeScript (Node/React), and relational databases
You've designed and built multiple RESTful APIs from scratch
Proficiency with CLI tools. You must use CLI-based agents (Claude Code, Codex) as your primary workflow.
Experience with observability platforms (logging, tracing, monitoring your agents in production)
Must be a US citizen/visa only
Nice to have:
Hackathon experience (wins, shipping under pressure, chaotic builds)
Contributions to open source repositories.
Early-stage startup background (you've worn many hats)
Experience building or extending CLI tools
Bonus: Founder background. You've shipped and scaled products before. You think like a founder and challenge assumptions to deliver impact.
