Forward Deployed Engineer

Role overview Take AI agents from an initial business need through deployment, working directly with customers and their existing systems. You’ll configure agents, build integrations, and add code where needed, while deciding how to handle data, reliability, and handoffs before launch.

Responsibilities - Work with customers to map their services, data, and the requests an agent should handle. - Build agents and connect them to tools such as CRMs, calendars, forms, and internal APIs. - Develop integration code that validates inputs, retries failures, and prevents duplicate requests. - Test successful flows and failure cases, including missing information and unavailable services. - Document deployments so customer teams can operate them. - Share recurring implementation patterns and product gaps with the product team.

Requirements - Strong backend skills in a modern language such as TypeScript or Python. - Experience with REST APIs and webhooks. - Experience shipping and debugging production integrations using real data. - Ability to work with customers and turn loosely defined needs into working systems. - Good judgment about validation, logging, retries, and reliability.

Nice to have - Experience in forward deployed or solutions engineering, backend or integrations engineering, technical consulting, or business automation and internal tools.

Benefits and work setup - Remote contract with flexible hours; compensation starts at $6,000 per month. - Freelancers and solo agencies may continue serving their own clients.
