- Architect and build complex agentic systems using state-of-the-art models, orchestrating sophisticated LLM workflows and integrating deeply with enterprise infrastructure.
- Collaborate with research teams to adapt and fine-tune models for customer-specific needs, contributing to our internal codebase for inference, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
- Own end-to-end deployments across hybrid environments (public cloud, VPC, and on-premises), ensuring production-grade scalability, performance, and reliability.
- Shape and scale the Forward Deployed Engineering organization by defining playbooks, best practices, technical standards, and mentorship to support team growth.
- Strong software engineering background with experience shipping production-grade systems (Python, Typescript)
- Proven track record of deploying enterprise software in cloud or hybrid environments using modern DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD).
- Deep understanding of machine learning concepts and hands-on experience with modern AI stacks, including vector databases, RAG pipelines, agent orchestration, evaluations, and fine-tuning.
- 6+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years in a technical leadership capacity delivering AI-driven enterprise solutions (e.g., Lead Forward Deployed Engineer, Tech Lead, or Engineering Manager).
- Demonstrated ability and interest to work in customer-facing environments, understanding user needs, architecting solutions for real business problems, and delivering tangible outcomes.
- Self-starter with high agency and ownership, excelling in fast-paced startup environments where playbooks are still being written.
