AI Forward Deployed Engineer - France

Role overview Build and deploy generative AI applications for customer engagements, turning emerging techniques into production-ready solutions. This customer-facing role combines hands-on engineering with technical advising and collaboration across product, engineering, and research teams. Applicants must be based in France; Paris is the preferred location, and customer travel may be needed.

Responsibilities - Develop generative AI solutions that address customer problems using current AI techniques. - Lead production rollouts of applications for consumer and internal use. - Advise customers on technical approaches across different industries. - Work with product and engineering teams to share customer needs and inform product priorities. - Communicate technical ideas through customer discussions and, where relevant, conference presentations.

Requirements - At least 4 years of experience. - Practical experience building generative AI applications, such as retrieval-augmented generation, multi-agent systems, text-to-SQL, or fine-tuning. - Experience deploying production-grade generative AI systems, including evaluation and optimization. - Industry experience in data science and machine learning, using tools such as pandas, scikit-learn, or PyTorch. - Experience deploying production machine learning systems on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. - A graduate degree in a quantitative field or equivalent practical experience. - Ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. - Willingness to travel to customer sites approximately every four to eight weeks as needed.

Nice to have - Experience with a unified data and AI platform and Apache Spark for large-scale distributed data.
