Forward Deployed Engineer

At Distyl, Forward Deployed AI Engineers build and operate AI systems that deliver real business value inside customer environments. This role is for engineers who thrive in ambiguous problem spaces, take ownership of outcomes, and are excited to work directly on production AI systems that must perform reliably under real-world constraints. Forward Deployed AI Engineers are hands-on builders who design, deploy, and iterate on end-to-end AI systems. They work close to customers to understand real requirements, translate them into concrete system designs, and continuously improve system behavior through evaluation, iteration, and integration. Their focus is not on demos or experiments in isolation, but on making AI systems work in practice.
