Forward Deployed Engineer; FDE Partner Solutions Lead

We are:

A forward-thinking services company at the forefront of AI-native innovation. We partner with enterprise clients to create next-generation, agent-powered workflows engineered to scale in real-world settings. Our engineers embed deeply with customers, moving projects beyond experimentation into operational reality.

A Forward-Deployed AI Engineer who thrives at the intersection of cutting-edge AI platforms, enterprise systems, and real-world business problems. It is a product-minded, customer-embedded engineering role where you will work directly with clients, partners, and internal product teams to design, prototype, deploy, and scale end-to-end AI solutions.

You will work hands-on with platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Service Now, and other enterprise systems, translating ambiguous business needs into production-grade AI workflows that deliver measurable impact.

This role requires strong engineering depth, excellent communication, comfort with ambiguity, and a builder’s mindset.

• Work directly with clients and internal teams to understand business problems, shape AI use cases, and define technical solutions — often from ambiguous or evolving requirements.
• Design and implement end-to-end AI solutions, integrating LLMs and AI services (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with enterprise platforms (Service Now, Salesforce, data platforms, internal systems).
• Rapidly prototype, iterate, and deploy AI-enabled workflows, agents, copilots, and automations into real operational environments.
• Serve as the technical bridge between product, engineering, data, and business stakeholders, ensuring solutions are technically sound, usable, and aligned with business value.
• Drive solution architecture, including:
• Prompt and workflow design
• API integrations and orchestration
• Enterprise knowledge integration
• Security, privacy, and governance considerations
• Own solutions from concept → prototype → production → iteration, with accountability for quality, reliability, and outcomes.
• Provide technical leadership and best practices for responsible, secure, and scalable AI deployment.

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 75% depending on business need and client requirements.

• Minimum 10 years software engineering experience (Python, Type Script/JavaScript, Java) with 5 years’ experience integrating APIs and building distributed, production systems.
• Minimum of 2 years experience with modern AI/ML platforms such as:
• OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar foundation model providers
• Workflow orchestration and agent frameworks
• Enterprise platforms (Service Now, Salesforce, SAP, data platforms, etc.)
• Minimum of 5 years experience translating high-level business needs into concrete technical designs and implementations in a large enterprise-wide organizations or professional services firm.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in client-facing communication and collaboration, including leading technical discussions, workshops, or delivery sessions under ambiguity.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent OR equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)
