You'll work directly with customers to understand critical workflows, design AI-driven solutions, and deploy agents that operate reliably in production. You'll own projects end-to-end from problem definition and system design to launch and iteration and be accountable for real business impact. This is a hands-on generalist role for engineers who enjoy navigating ambiguity, learning quickly, and working across systems while partnering with enterprises as they become AI-driven organizations.

  • Translate open-ended problems into clear technical designs and implementations.
  • Build AI agents that integrate with customer systems and perform real tasks.
  • Own deployments, including reliability, performance, and continuous improvement.
  • Test with real data, measure outcomes, and iterate based on results.
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering to ship high-quality solutions.
  • Contribute to tools, documentation, and best practices that scale customer delivery.


Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering or technical problem-solving roles.
  • Strong fundamentals in software design and system thinking.
  • Experience working across systems, integrations, and data flows.
  • Comfort working directly with customers and owning ambiguous problems.
  • Clear communication skills and a strong ownership mindset.
  • Curiosity and interest in building AI-powered systems that work in practice.


Nice to Have:

  • Experience in forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or customer-facing roles.

  • Experience operating and improving production systems.
