Job Description:

Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to work directly with enterprise and government customers — designing, deploying, and supporting complex AI systems in real-world environments. Move fast from prototype to production, building pipelines, containerizing services, and creating the interfaces that make these systems usable in the field. This role blends hands-on engineering, DevOps, and customer engagement. Act as the bridge between product and deployment, ensuring every solution is reliable, observable, and ready for mission-critical use.

Job Responsibility:

  • Build, deploy, and maintain production AI systems using Python, React, and modern DevOps tooling
  • containerize and orchestrate services with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm across cloud and hybrid environments
  • fine-tune and integrate LLMs, retrieval pipelines, and data flows into customer infrastructure
  • design deployment playbooks, monitoring, and rollback strategies for secure, repeatable rollouts
  • embed with customer teams to scope, deliver, and operationalize new capabilities
  • capture deployment learnings into reusable frameworks and internal tooling

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of software engineering or DevOps experience in production environments
  • fluent in Python and comfortable across frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend systems
  • deep experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and ideally Helm (branching/forking charts, managing rollouts)
  • understand cloud infrastructure (AWS required
  • multi-cloud a plus) and CI/CD workflows
  • communicate clearly with both engineers and executives
  • enjoy embedding with customers
  • thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous settings where you own delivery end-to-end
  • open to periodic travel (approx. 25–45%) for on-site deployments
What we offer:
  • 20% bonus
  • equity
