Job Description

The Role

Were hiring Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who are obsessed with GenAI, prompts, and problem-solving and who want to see their work deployed in production , not stuck in demos.


As an FDE, youll sit at the intersection of customers, product, and engineering , deploying AI agents (voice + chat) into mission-critical enterprise workflows. Youll work hands-on with customers to design, integrate, and scale AI agents that deliver measurable business outcomes and then feed those real-world learnings straight back into the product roadmap.


No two deployments are the same.

This role is high ownership, high ambiguity, and very high impact .


If you love writing prompts, debugging AI behavior, thinking deeply about system design, and watching AI agents succeed (or fail) in the wild this role is for you.

Your Impact

  • How enterprises adopt and trust AI agents in production
  • How voice and chat agents perform in real, mission-critical workflows
  • How quickly customers move from PoC scaled rollout
  • How the platform evolves based on real usage, edge cases, and failure modes
  • How AI agents deliver tangible business value , not hype


Your work wont just ship features it will define how the product works in the real world .

  • Design solutions that fit seamlessly into existing enterprise stacks
  • Support requirements around security, compliance, VPCs, and data isolation
