Sears KAIros | India (Remote / Hybrid)
Team: Sears KAIros, Applied AI Division — TransformCo
Location: Remote / Hybrid, India
Type: Full-time
About the Role
Sears KAIros, the Applied AI Division of TransformCo, is hiring a Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering – Applied AI Agents to lead a team building and deploying production AI agents across business operations.
This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering, product, operations, and business transformation.
You will work directly with business leaders and operating teams across areas such as Sears Home Services, Kenmore, Central Finance, customer operations, field service, and other functions to identify high-impact workflows and transform them using AI agents.
This is a hands-on engineering leadership role. You should be equally comfortable sitting with an operator to understand a workflow, reviewing an agent architecture with engineers, diagnosing why an agent is failing in production, and presenting measurable business impact to senior leadership.
The goal is not to build AI demos.



The goal is to deploy AI systems that materially improve how the business operates.
What You’ll Do
Lead a team of Forward Deployed Engineers responsible for taking AI agents from workflow discovery through production deployment and continuous improvement.
Partner directly with operators, analysts, planners, dispatchers, finance teams, customer-service teams, and business leaders to identify high-value AI opportunities.
Translate ambiguous business problems into transparent agent specifications, workflows, tools, integrations, data requirements, evaluations, and success metrics.
Prioritize opportunities based on business value, feasibility, operational risk, and speed to impact.
Stay hands-on with architecture, prototyping, debugging, evaluations, production issues, and design decisions.
Guide engineers in building agents that reason, use tools, call APIs, retrieve enterprise context, execute workflows, and handle exceptions safely.
