Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

Role Purpose
The Forward Deployed Engineer builds and delivers production-grade, AI-powered systems directly with
customers. This is a builder role: you will write, ship, and operate code in real customer environments.
The FDE bridges product intent, engineering execution, and real-world deployment - owning solutions
end-to-end. From discovery through production, the FDE ensures Agentic AI systems deliver measurable
customer and business impact.
What You’ll Do
Design and Deploy Production AI Systems
● Design, build, and deploy production-ready AI systems in real customer environments.
● Implement Agentic AI solutions (RAG, orchestration, tool/function calling, multi-step workflows).
● Translate ambiguous customer problems into shippable technical architectures with transparent
trade-offs.
● Move solutions from proof-of-concept to production with measurable adoption.
● Engineer for enterprise-grade quality: secure, scalable, observable, resilient.
Own End-to-End Customer Delivery
● Lead delivery from discovery and architecture through rollout,



iteration, and operational
readiness.
● Embed directly with customer teams to understand tech stack, workflow constraints, and success
criteria.
● Make pragmatic architectural decisions under delivery pressure and evolving constraints in the
customer stack.
● Measure success by delivered impact and adoption - not effort or billable time.
Operationalize for Scale
● Establish deployment patterns, evaluation loops, and monitoring frameworks.
● Implement reliability patterns: retries, fallbacks, idempotency, and safe failure modes for agentic
workflows.
● Tune systems for performance and economics (latency, throughput, cost) without sacrificing
quality.
● Mentor engineers in production-grade AI delivery practices and reusable reference architectures.
Partner Across Product and Platform
● Collaborate with AI Engineers, platform teams, and research to align architecture with long-term
direction.
● Provide r
