Job Description
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.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, youll directly shape:
- 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 .

- Identify high-leverage AI agent use cases across support, sales, operations, and automation
- Turn vague business problems into clear, solvable technical and AI system designs
- Design and deploy end-to-end AI agent systems across voice and chat
- Craft and iterate on prompts, tools, memory, state, routing, guardrails, and fallbacks
- Debug AI behavior in production from hallucinations to latency to edge cases
- Ensure agents are reliable, safe, observable, and scalable
- Build custom integrations with CRMs, ticketing tools, telephony systems, internal APIs, and data sources
- Design solutions that fit seamlessly into existing enterprise stacks
- Support requirements around security, compliance, VPCs, and data isolation
- Guide customers on best practices for deploying and scaling AI agents
- Own deployments end-to-end for strategic customers
- Prototype quickly, test aggressively, iterate fast, and ship confidently
- Build compelling demos and live examples that showcase whats possible
- Present results and recommendations to engineers, product teams, and senior stakeholders
- Act as the voice of the field for core product teams

- Comfort collaborating with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
- Working knowledge of Python and APIs for prototyping and integrations
- Familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, conversational systems, or workflow automation
