Staff Forward Deployed Engineer
Posted Updated
Description
- We’re looking for a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer who’s passionate about using AI to change how teams across the business get their work done
- You’ll embed with a team, learn how they actually work, and build the AI-powered workflows that make them faster and more effective
- You start by mapping how the function operates today, then decide together with the team where AI can create the most value and build it
- This is not a support role, a solutions-engineering role, or staff augmentation
- You are a full engineer who works at the boundary between our AI platform and a business domain
- You ship production systems, and the best of what you build for one team becomes a reusable capability for the whole company
- Embed with a team. Work alongside a function for sustained periods, joining their day-to-day so you understand how they really operate
- Map how the work gets done. Build a clear picture of the function’s current workflows and surface where time, handoffs, rework, and manual effort pile up
- Find where AI creates the most value. Prioritize the opportunities that will move the function’s outcomes the most, and align with the team on what to tackle
- Build it in production. Ship real, AI-powered workflows that solve the problems you find, working hands-on with the team and our platform
- Scale what works. Turn proven solutions into reusable capabilities so a win with one team accelerates the whole organization
- Own the outcome. Measure success by the business results your partners achieve: revenue generated, cost saved, cycle time reduced, manual work eliminated
- You’ll Thrive Here If You:
- Love experimenting with AI tools and applying them to real engineering and business challenges
- Enjoy embedding with teams outside engineering and bridging the language gap between technical and business partners
- Treat discovery as engineering work, not a preamble to it
- Enjoy translating early prototypes into production-ready, maintainable systems
- Are curious, pragmatic, and impact-driven. You measure success by the business outcomes your partners achieve
