As organizations accelerate the adoption of Generative AI, they face growing challenges around reliability, governance, latency, safety, compliance, and operational control. We provide the infrastructure, evaluation frameworks, and real-time guardrails that allow enterprises to confidently operationalize AI at scale. We work closely with enterprises and regulated industries to bridge the gap between AI experimentation and production deployment. Customers include banks, government agencies, insurance companies, and other regulated enterprises, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to top global banks.\n\nAbout the Role\nWe’re currently hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with enterprise customers to deploy, integrate, and operationalize AI systems in real-world production environments. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, customer deployment, and AI reliability. You will work closely with customer engineering teams to integrate our AI platform into complex enterprise ecosystems while helping organizations navigate the operational, governance, and technical challenges of deploying AI at scale. Forward Deployed Engineers act as the technical bridge between customers and our AI's product and engineering teams. You will help customers implement AI guardrails, evaluation systems, observability workflows, and deployment architectures that meet enterprise requirements around reliability, security, compliance, and performance.\n\nWhat You'll Own\n\nSolve real-world enterprise problems: debug and troubleshoot complex deployment and integration challenges across customer environments, navigate ambiguity and adapt solutions to fit real-world operational and regulatory requirements.\n\nDeploy and operationalize AI systems: work directly with customer engineering and platform teams to deploy AI's products into enterprise environments. Design and implement integrations across enterprise AI workflows, APIs, infrastructure, and governance systems.\n\nBridge product, engineering, and customer needs: translate customer deployment challenges into actionable feedback for product and engineering teams. Surface patterns and deployment learnings that improve our AI's platform and implementation playbooks.\n\nPartner closely with customers: work with customer stakeholders across engineering, infrastructure, security, risk, compliance, and operations teams.
