Job Description
We’re looking for an experienced Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to design, build, and deploy AI-powered agents for customer service experiences. This role is an integral part of a global AI initiative aimed at revolutionizing how organizations in industries like finance, healthcare, and commerce operate at scale.
This is a deeply hands-on, customer-facing engineering role. You’ll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and customers, rapidly prototyping solutions, deploying them in real-world environments, and iterating based on live feedback. You’ll own the Agent Development Life Cycle (ADLC) end to end—from early pilots through production deployment and continuous iteration. If you thrive in startup environments, enjoy shipping early, and love seeing your work in production quickly, this role is for you.
What you’ll do
Partner closely with customer service teams to understand the workflows, pain points, and success metrics
Design and build agent-based systems that automate and augment customer support experiences (chat, voice, ticketing, internal tooling)
Rapidly prototype, test, and deploy AI agents in customer environments (“fail fast, learn faster”)
Own end-to-end delivery: from initial concept → architecture → implementation → deployment → iteration
Build and deploy RAG-based systems, with a strong emphasis on agent orchestration, tool use, and decision-making
Integrate agents with customer systems (CRMs, ticketing platforms, knowledge bases, internal APIs)
Deploy and operate systems in cloud-native environments (primarily AWS)
Work with backend and frontend components to deliver complete customer-facing solutions
Improve reliability, observability, and performance of deployed agent systems
Act as the technical voice in customer conversations, translating requirements into scalable solutions
What we’re looking for
Core Requirements
Strong experience as a software engineer, solutions engineer, or forward deployed engineer in customer-facing roles
Proven experience deploying AI agents to production (agent frameworks, orchestration, tool calling, memory, workflows)
Solid understanding of Generative AI systems, including:
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Agent architectures and evaluation
Prompting, guardrails, and failure handling
Cloud-native development experience, preferably on AWS
Experience designing and operating production systems (monitoring, scaling, reliability)
Comfort working in fast-moving startup environments with ambiguity and tight feedback loops
Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with customers
Technology Stack
Languages
Go
Python
TypeScript / React
SQL
Frameworks & Tools
LangChain
LlamaIndex
FastAPI / Flask
Docker
Databases & Search
Vector databases
PostgreSQL (RDBMS)
MongoDB or DynamoDB (NoSQL)
Elasticsearch / OpenSearch
Cloud & Infrastructure
AWS
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK or similar)
CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
Nice-to-Have / Bonus
Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol)
Prior experience building customer service or contact-center solutions
Experience integrating with CRMs, ticketing systems, or call center platforms
Background in high-growth startups or early-stage companies
Experience with gRPC
What Success Looks Like
You can take a vague customer problem and ship a working agent quickly
You’ve deployed agents that customers actually use in production
You iterate rapidly based on real-world feedback and metrics
You balance speed with pragmatic engineering discipline
You leave systems better than you found them
Mindset We Value
Startup mentality: bias toward action, ownership, and shipping
Fail fast, learn fast: experiments are encouraged when paired with learning
Customer-obsessed: success is defined by customer outcomes
Builder energy: you enjoy getting your hands dirty across the stack
Some of the benefits you'll enjoy working with us
Direct impact on real customer experiences
Opportunity to shape how AI agents are deployed in the real world
High ownership and visibility
Work on cutting-edge agent architectures in production
Competitive compensation and flexible hybrid work.
Opportunity to work with a multi-cultural and multidisciplinary team of experts
A highly competitive compensation package.
