AI Platforms | Enterprise Integrations | Customer-Facing Engineering

Represented by Stax – DeepTech & AI Talent Partner
Stax is partnering with a fast-scaling AI-native software company building a platform designed to transform how modern organisations connect product, support, engineering, and customer operations.

Their technology unifies structured and unstructured data into a single AI-ready system, enabling intelligent search, agent-based workflows, and automation across the entire organisation.

As adoption accelerates with enterprise customers, they are expanding their Applied AI Engineering team and hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to design and deliver AI-powered solutions for real-world business environments.

The Role
This is a hands-on, customer-facing engineering role where you will architect and implement AI-powered solutions for enterprise customers.

You’ll work directly with customers to understand their workflows, design scalable architectures, and build intelligent integrations that bring AI capabilities into their existing systems.

Think of it as the intersection of:
• Applied AI engineering
• Enterprise architecture
• Systems integration
• Customer-facing technical leadership

What You’ll Do
• Design and deploy AI agents and intelligent workflows
• Build integrations with enterprise systems (CRMs, APIs, internal platforms)
• Develop proof-of-concepts and production integrations
• Translate business problems into scalable AI architectures
• Tune prompts, agent logic, and evaluation frameworks
• Work closely with product, engineering, and customer teams to deliver successful deployments

Expect a mix of:
20–40% customer interaction
50%+ hands-on engineering
Up to 30% travel for workshops and deployments

What We’re Looking For
5+ years in software engineering, AI/ML engineering, or technical consulting
Strong coding experience with Python and TypeScript/JavaScript
Experience working with LLMs, RAG architectures, or AI agents
Experience integrating systems via APIs, webhooks, and data pipelines
Familiarity with AWS, GCP, or Azure
Strong communication skills and customer empathy

Bonus:
• Experience deploying AI solutions in enterprise environments
• Experience with agent orchestration frameworks
• Architecture certifications (TOGAF, SAFe)

Why This Role Is Interesting
This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering and real-world impact.
You’ll help companies move from AI experimentation → production-grade intelligent systems, working on complex problems across automation, data, and modern AI architectures.

If you’re excited about building real-world AI systems with customers, this is a rare opportunity to operate at the frontier of applied AI.
