Description For Forward Deployed Engineer

Join an innovative early-stage startup founded in 2023 that's revolutionizing enterprise operations through AI solutions. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of deploying AI-powered applications directly at client sites, working in a fast-paced environment where your impact is immediately visible.

The role offers a unique blend of technical development and business exposure. You'll be working directly with the CEO and enterprise clients, contributing not just to code but also to high-stakes contract negotiations and product strategy. This isn't your typical B2B SaaS role – you'll be deploying mission-critical AI solutions that drive immediate ROI for enterprise clients.

Using a modern tech stack including Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, and various infrastructure tools, you'll own the full development lifecycle from building to deployment and maintenance. The position offers hands-on experience in a rapidly growing environment, where you'll ship new features daily and work side-by-side with executives and operational teams.

This is an exceptional opportunity for someone who wants to make a massive impact, with direct influence on six and seven-figure enterprise deals. You'll be building what you demo and seeing immediate results from your work. The company's mission focuses on solving high-impact operational challenges for enterprise clients through rapid, hands-on deployment.

The compensation package includes a competitive salary range of $130,000 - $190,000, plus meaningful equity in a venture-backed startup. Based in San Francisco, this role requires on-site presence for direct client interaction and deployment. If you're excited about building AI solutions for real-world industries and want to be part of a growing startup from the ground up, this role offers the perfect blend of technical challenges and business exposure.
