About this role
## Forward Deployed Engineer ### About the team A model only matters if it changes what happens in the real world. Our deployment teams embed directly with institutions making high-stakes decisions about physical systems—turning our models into dependable results and feeding what we learn back into the product. Deployment runs in small, cross-functional pods and partners closely with Product Engineering (which builds the platform the pods deploy). ### Role: Forward Deployed Engineer You’ll embed with strategic institutions using our models to support consequential decisions about the physical world. Your mission is to ensure we build the right solution for a customer’s needs—delivering data infrastructure, integrations, and AI systems that work in practice (not just in theory), while expanding our core product to solve new problems you discover in the field. **On-site work:** Willingness to travel and spend extended time on-site with customers is required. ### Responsibilities - Embed with strategic customers to understand their mission and ensure we build what actually solves it - Deliver scalable data infrastructure and integrations inside real customer environments - Design and ship AI systems that hold up under real-world conditions, data, and constraints - Surface new problems found in the field and extend the core platform to handle them - Work hands-on across the stack (technical, resourceful, and close to the user) ### What we’re looking for - Relentless problem-solving, rapid execution, and the ability to quickly learn in unfamiliar domains - Strong, versatile engineering skills and resourcefulness to solve unfamiliar problems with whatever it takes - Experience building and shipping real systems in production (data infrastructure, integrations, applications) - Comfort working directly with customers and adapting fast to their environments and constraints - Willingness to travel and embed on-site wherever the mission needs you - A bias toward real-world impact over elegance—solutions that work for the user under pressure
