Job Description:

As a Principal Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Invisible, you'll lead high-impact, AI-powered solutions that reshape how our clients operate their most critical workflows. You won’t just build and deploy — you’ll drive the strategy, architecture, and execution of end-to-end systems, working directly with client. This is a hybrid role: equal parts AI engineer, software builder, and technical consultant. It's perfect for someone who wants to be hands-on with models and close to the impact they generate.

Job Responsibility:

  • Partner with delivery and executive stakeholders to scope, design, and lead implementation of AI-driven solutions
  • Identify transformational opportunities in messy, ambiguous workflows and turn them into repeatable systems
  • Lead architecture design and trade-off discussions across performance, scalability, cost, and reliability
  • Own projects from first discovery call through full deployment — including client-facing delivery, internal coordination, and post-launch iteration
  • Build shared infrastructure, reusable components, and internal playbooks to level-up the team
  • Coach and mentor mid-level engineers and help shape the culture of forward-deployed AI engineering at Invisible

Requirements:

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, including significant time spent building data, ML, or backend systems
  • Deep proficiency in Python with hands-on experience using Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI, Pinecone, and related ecosystems
  • Skilled in full-stack and API-based deployment patterns, including Docker, FastAPI, Kubernetes, and cloud environments (GCP, AWS)
  • Experienced with workflow orchestration libraries, pub/sub systems (Kafka), and schema governance
  • Expertise in data governance and operations, including Unity Catalog and policy management, cluster/job orchestration, data contracts and quality enforcement, Delta/ETL pipelines, and replay processes
  • Strong product and system design instincts — you understand business needs and how to translate them into technical architecture
  • Experience building usable systems from messy data and ambiguous requirements
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills
  • you’ve led conversations with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
  • Proven experience owning projects from scoping through deployment in ambiguous, high-stakes environments
  • Be willing to be on-call for our customers when situations arise
  • Ability to travel roughly 25–50% of the time, sometimes short-notice trips—primarily across North America with occasional international roll-outs—to work directly on-site with clients
  • Strong engineering background demonstrated by a Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science and related fields OR equivalent professional experience
