Job description
- Deployment Engineering
- Lead the end-to-end technical implementation of the Agentic platform in enterprise environments.
- Design and build robust integration pipelines , connecting customer data sources, APIs, and systems of record to the platform.
- Deploy and scale machine learning models in production, ensuring performance, reliability, and monitoring.
- Automate deployments using CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
- AI Platform Integration & Optimization
- Implement custom extensions, SDKs, and APIs to adapt the platform to customer-specific use cases.
- Build tools, scripts, and microservices to handle data preprocessing, feature engineering, and real-time inference .
- Optimize model serving, caching, and resource allocation for low-latency, high-throughput environments.
- Reliability, Security & Compliance
- Architect solutions that meet enterprise-grade standards for resilience, observability, and scalability.
- Ensure deployments adhere to security best practices (encryption, identity management, network security).
- Navigate compliance requirements such as SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR , and customer-specific regulatory constraints.
- Engineering Leadership & Technical Escalation
- Serve as the senior technical lead on customer deployments, resolving complex engineering challenges.
- Partner closely with customer engineering teams to embed the platform into production workflows.
- Provide critical field feedback to product and core engineering teams on performance, scaling, and enterprise integration needs.
- Enablement & Knowledge Sharing
- Create reusable deployment templates, automation scripts, and playbooks to accelerate future projects.
- Mentor other Forward Deploy Engineers on advanced deployment patterns, DevOps practices, and ML systems engineering.
