Forward Deployed AI Solutions Engineer

Stand up agents and automation pipelines using the organization’s approved AI platforms and frameworks.

Connect agents to business systems — via MCP servers, APIs, webhooks, CLIs, and skills — within the guardrails set by IT and security.

Configure tools, prompts, context, and retrieval pipelines so agents perform reliably on real work, not just in demos.

Handle integration gnarliness: auth, schema drift, rate limits, data quality, and the messy last-mile of enterprise systems.

Enable access and training for business to run the workflows

Own agent performance end-to-end. Track the KPIs that matter — throughput, quality, cost, human intervention rate, cycle time, adoption.

Build and manage evals. Re-run them on any material model, data, or workflow change before it ships.

Triage failures, tune prompts and context, iterate on the workflow, and retire agents when they’re no longer the right tool.

Instrument observability: tracing, structured logs, dashboards. You don’t ship what you can’t see.

Hands-on technical fluency. CLIs, APIs, webhooks, SQL, and Python scripting. Working knowledge of LLM and agent behavior — prompting, context, tool use, RAG, MCP, evals, failure modes. Be very comfortable with a cloud platform.

Trustworthy with elevated access. Least-privilege, auditability, and safe rollbacks are second nature.

Strong technical and process judgment. You think in outcomes and KPIs, can defend prioritization calls, and are comfortable being the most technical person in a business meeting and the most business-savvy in a technical one.

Prior experience working hand in hand with businesses to deliver measurable outcomes.

Hands-on experience with an enterprise agentic platform (CrewAI, LangChain, AWS Bedrock, Claude, Codex) or building directly against a model API.

Background in product management, solutions engineering, consulting, forward-deployed engineering, or technical operations.

Experience in regulated environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, GxP, SOX).

Shipped three or more workflows into production that are measurably moving a business KPI, with agent evals and observability in place.

Domain leadership brings you into planning early, not late.

Contributed at least one reusable asset another engineer on the team is now using.

Enabling non builders to become builders using the artifacts you created.
