Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) you’ll work directly with clients and our internal delivery teams to build and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how work gets done. You’ll own projects end-to-end: scoping ambiguous problems, prototyping AI workflows, and deploying scalable systems on top of our products - all while interfacing with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

This is a hybrid role: equal parts AI engineer, software builder, and technical consultant. It’s perfect for someone who wants to be hands-on with models and close to the impact they generate.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate with delivery leaders to scope technical solutions to operational problems
• Identify workflow optimizations through deep engagement with customer problems and work to build into a stable and scalable solution
• Design and implement AI-powered workflows using LLMs, embedding models, retrieval systems, and automation tools
• Translate messy real-world constraints (e.g., inconsistent data, latency requirements) into elegant engineering solutions
• Iterate quickly based on real-time feedback from operators and clients
• Build reusable tooling and infrastructure that accelerates future deployments, Invisible is committed to fair and competitive pay, ensuring that compensation reflects both market conditions and the value each team member brings.
