Founding Forward Deployed Engineer
Brooklyn, NY (5 days/week in-office)
$150K-$400K+ base + meaningful equity + performance upside
About the Company
Our client is building AI agents that automate complex customer support and operational workflows for enterprise companies. Their agents integrate deeply into internal systems, knowledge bases, and historical workflows to resolve issues with high accuracy in production environments.
The company has already reached millions in ARR with enterprise customers paying $300K-$3M+ annually, while remaining an extremely lean team. They scaled ~20x in 2025 and are on track for another major growth year.
The Role
This is not a traditional solutions engineering role. This is a highly technical, customer-facing engineering position focused on owning enterprise deployments end-to-end.
You’ll work directly with enterprise stakeholders to understand operational pain points, build bespoke AI-powered workflows and integrations, and deploy solutions into complex production environments. You’ll also help grow strategic customer accounts over time, acting as both a technical owner and trusted advisor.
What You’ll Do
Own enterprise customer engagements from scoping through deployment
Build integrations into complex internal systems and workflows
Develop and improve AI agents deployed in production environments
Work directly with VP, SVP, and C-level stakeholders
Translate ambiguous operational problems into scalable technical solutions
Expand customer relationships and identify new opportunities within accounts
Operate with significant autonomy in a fast-moving startup environment
Ideal Backgrounds
Forward Deployed Engineers, especially Palantir-style FDE backgrounds
Founding engineers at high-growth startups
Technical founders with credible startup experience
Highly technical, product-minded engineers with strong customer exposure
Requirements
Strong software engineering fundamentals across backend and/or full-stack systems
Comfortable integrating with complex or messy real-world systems
Ability to quickly learn new technologies and languages
Demonstrated 0→1 ownership and independent execution
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Clear interest in AI systems, agents, or applied LLM workflows
Ability to thrive in ambiguity and move quickly
Nice to Have
Experience deploying AI systems in production
Prior customer-facing engineering experience
Startup or early-stage company experience
Strong side projects, GitHub, or demonstrated builder mentality
