AI initiatives must deliver business value-not just promise potential. That means taking cutting-edge LLM capabilities and turning them into resilient, secure, and scalable software. As a Senior Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) , you act as the CTO of the build-owning everything from backend services to LLM pipelines and front-end integrations. You partner with customers in the field to design, implement, and deliver solution-ready builds in agile sprints. Your software becomes the reference implementation for scalable GenAI in the enterprise. You codify patterns, shape internal tooling, and accelerate innovation-delivering systems that are battle-tested in production and scalable across industries. Who You Are: You are a systems-minded, AI-native engineer who ships real software. You own the full stack-and are equally motivated by elegant APIs, intuitive UIs, and scalable orchestration pipelines. You think like a product-minded CTO, balancing creativity with pragmatism to deliver impact. You embed deeply with customer teams, diagnose root problems, and architect AI-powered workflows that run at scale. You don't just debug code-you debug systems, context, and customer pain points. You will: * Build solution-ready LLM-enabled applications that span backend logic, data orchestration, and front-end UI * Operate in the field, working side-by-side with customers to adapt, deploy, and iterate in live environments * Codify reusable assets-libraries, prompts, scaffolds-to accelerate future engagements * Shape developer experience by sharing feedback with platform and product teams What You'll Do: * Deliver Production - readysolution in agile end-to-end sprints * Engineer with versatility: APIs, orchestration pipelines, vector DBs, LLM frameworks, UI components * Operate with agility: integrate with legacy systems, navigate ambiguity, ship safely at speed * Codify patterns: build scaffolds, SDKs, and documentation to scale success across customers * Influence platform: inform product strategy through field-tested insights and extensible code What Success Looks Like: * Production-grade delivery: Your solution builds consistently convert to scaled deployments in production environments * Reusable impact: You author libraries, prompts, and scaffolds that power multiple deployments and projects * Platform influence: Your work shapes internal tooling and is integrated into platform roadmap and primitives * Velocity and precision: You move fast without breaking things-shaping resilient, secure systems in high-stakes contexts * Engineering leadership: You are trusted by architects, PMs, and customer teams to lead implementation from zero to one, We strive to create an accessible and inclusive experience for all candidates.
