Forward Deployed Engineer (New Grad)

About this role

• We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to work with one of the top AI labs.
• Forward Deployed Engineers sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success.
• You'll be embedded with customer teams, learning their workflows, and shipping product directly to solve their highest-leverage problems.
• It's the most exciting role in AI right now, and the companies we work with are paying accordingly.
• Early career welcome. What matters is that you can write code, learn fast, and figure things out.

In this role, you will:

• Own the customer lifecycle from kickoff through activation, making sure clients get real value from the product.
• Sit close to customers, map their workflows, and identify where AI can take work off their plate.
• Build directly into the product. If a customer needs something, you ship it, not file a ticket.
• Configure the platform with client context, knowledge bases, and integrations.
• Be the voice of the customer internally and help shape the roadmap based on what you see in the field.

What we're looking for

• A technical degree (CS, EE, math, physics, or similar) and experience writing code in Python or TypeScript.
• 0 - 4 years of experience shipping products including work, internships, and side projects.
• Real fluency with AI tools. You've used Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar daily and have opinions on what works.
• Bias toward action. You'd rather ship something rough today than perfect something next week.
• Strong communication. You can run a customer call and write a clean Slack update.
• High tolerance for ambiguity. The role and the company change weekly.
• Ownership mindset. You take responsibility for outcomes, not tasks.
• Willingness to travel 25 to 50%.

Bonus points

• Shipped a side project that uses LLMs or agents.
• Worked at an early-stage startup, even briefly.
• Track record of unusual performance in something demanding (academic, athletic, entrepreneurial, anything).

Compensation

• Compensation is competitive for the role and stage of company. Equity included.
