We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (Chief Role) to build AI-native solutions where LLM and its harness are the core of the value. This is a builder's role where you and your team are responsible for building agentic systems, writing production code, and standing up the evals and observability.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build and ship AI-native systems E2E — agents, workflows, RAG and the harness: custom tool calling, sandboxing, context engineering and sub-agents, caching, compaction
  • Build the evaluation pipelines and use them to prove the system is genuinely useful
  • Design for failure in the agent loop: retries, model fallbacks, cost limits and human-in-the-loop on consequential actions
  • Capture domain expertise and repeatable workflows so what works on one engagement carries to the next
  • Engage early to help shape the use case and check technical feasibility
  • Write production-grade Python: integrations, APIs, data access, deployment
  • Work directly with SMEs and end-users through interviews, UAT and observing the real workflow, and validate that the system fits how people actually work
