Salary range: Rs 3000000 - Rs 6000000 (ie INR 30 - 60 LPA) Min Experience: 5+ years

Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

JobType: full-time We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to work closely with a portfolio of high-growth companies backed by a leading VC fund. The role sits at the intersection of AI engineering, enterprise architecture and business problem-solving. You will work directly with CXOs, functional leaders and business teams to understand high-impact opportunities and take ownership of architecting and building AI systems end-to-end.

This is not a role for someone who only identifies AI use cases, recommends tools or advises teams. We are looking for a hands-on builder who can go from a business problem to a production-grade AI system.

Requirements What You’ll Do ● Partner directly with CXOs, business leaders and functional heads across portfolio companies to understand their business, workflows and technology landscape. ● Translate business problems into AI-driven solutions and technical architectures. ● Architect and implement end-to-end enterprise AI systems, including the underlying data, models, agents, integrations and infrastructure. ● Build and deploy AI products and workflows hands-on rather than limiting yourself to solutioning or advisory. ● Design agentic AI architectures and enterprise-grade systems that can operate reliably in real-world business environments. ● Own the entire lifecycle of solutions — from initial problem discovery and architecture to development,



deployment and iteration. ● Work across different portfolio companies and business functions, adapting solutions to varied operating environments and technology stacks. ● Stay extremely current with the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem — including recent models, model releases, agent architectures, tooling, capabilities, limitations and jailbreaks. ● Work closely with engineering and business teams within portfolio companies to ensure solutions are scalable, reliable and actually adopted. What We’re Looking For ● Strong background in Data Science, Machine Learning Engineering, AI Engineering or a similar technical discipline, ideally with subsequent experience in a Forward Deployed / customer-facing engineering role. ● Deep understanding of AI architecture and enterprise system design, particularly modern agent-based architectures. ● Proven ability to build AI systems from scratch, rather than simply using existing AI tools within established workflows. ● Strong hands-on engineering skills and the ability to independently take an idea from problem statement, architecture, implementation, deployment. ● Ability to understand business operations and translate ambiguous business requirements into technical solutions. ● Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with CXOs, CFOs, functional heads and senior business stakeholders. ● Curiosity and a strong bias toward experimentation, with the ability to rapidly evaluate and adopt emerging AI technologies.
