Forward Deployed Engineer, Intern

You might be a strong fit if you:

Have built something from scratch through a class, research project, internship, startup, open-source contribution, or personal project

Have a strong software engineering foundation and experience programming in at least one language

Enjoy working through ambiguous technical and operational problems

Communicate clearly and are excited to work directly with customers

Take ownership, move quickly, and seek feedback

Care about whether what you build creates a successful outcome for the customer, not just whether the code works

Are excited to work at the intersection of AI, product, engineering, and customer operations

Experience with AI systems or enterprise software is helpful but not required. We care more about your technical foundation, rate of learning, and ability to turn complex problems into working solutions than experience with our exact stack.

The Pace team shares two defining characteristics:

Integrity: We want to work with good people committed to doing the best work of their careers. We believe meaningful impact takes sustained focus, and we’re building for the next 5–10 years.

Ambition: We’re building more than a successful vertical AI company. We’re pursuing a $100bn+ outcome across vertical services and want teammates whose ambitions match the opportunity—whether they aim to become exceptional individual contributors, lead at scale, or start companies of their own.

Our goal is to invest in people with exceptional potential and accelerate their growth.

If there’s a strong mutual fit, this internship can lead to a full-time Forward Deployed Engineer role after graduation. From there, potential paths include:

Growing into Applied AI leadership

Owning and scaling a product or business line

Forward deployed engineering is an ideal path for future founders and business leaders because you’ll learn how to understand customers, build products, and deploy them successfully in the enterprise.

We want Pace to be the best place to learn quickly, deliver meaningful impact, and advance your path toward doing something great.

At Pace, we’re building a talent-dense team where teammates grow into leaders. This might mean growing into a world-class IC, owning a line of business, or leading teams. Whichever your path, we want to support you to grow at Pace and beyond for the long term.

We’re a <40 person team based in person across New York and London. We’re fortunate to be working with leading customers and top investors, with the opportunity to make a real impact on one of the largest industries in the world.
