Job DescriptionAbout ValueNexus

NValueNexus builds AI agents that do real work inside businesses. Our agents run on the systems a company already uses, such as Salesforce, AWS and Azure, and reach customers on the channels they already use, such as WhatsApp, web chat and email. We are a Salesforce ISV and Consulting Partner, founded in 2024.

NOur agents answer customer questions, collect and check documents, update records and handle service requests for businesses across several industries.

NWe are a small team. You will work directly with the founders and our senior engineers.

NWhat a Forward Deployed Engineer does

NA Forward Deployed Engineer turns an AI agent into something a business uses every day. You learn how a client's work runs, connect the agent to the systems that hold their data, design the workflow the agent follows, and make sure it behaves correctly at a sensible cost.

NThis internship is the entry point to that role. You will work alongside our engineers on client projects from your second week.

NWhat you will do

n

N
- Map a business workflowbefore you build. For example, how a company onboards a new customer: the steps, the systems involved, the approvals, the exceptions and the handoffs between people.
N
- Connect AI agents to the systems a business already runs, such as a CRM, a data platform, a document store, email, WhatsApp and internal APIs, so the agent reads and updates the right data.
N
- Design the orchestration: break a workflow into steps and decide which steps an agent handles, which call another system, and which go to a person for approval.
N
- Build multi-step and multi-agent workflows that pass work between agents, tools and people, and recover when a step fails.
N




- Build retrieval over company documents and data, so agents answer from the client's own information.
N
- Give agents access to tools through APIs and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
N
- Test agent behaviour with evaluation sets that catch wrong answers, missed steps and unsafe actions, and run them before every release.
N
- Track the cost and response time of each workflow, and reduce them through prompt design, caching and choosing the right model for each step.
N
- Join client working sessions, demo what you built, and help take it to go-live.
