Why This Role is Different
You are not just demonstrating the product. You are making it work in the real world. As a Founding Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you will work directly with customers to integrate our platform into their AI stacks, build proof-of-concepts, solve deployment challenges, and identify the capabilities that should become part of the core product. You will move fluidly between writing code, debugging infrastructure, working with customers, and shaping product direction.
The equity is real. The pace of progress in AI has created a once-in-a-lifetime window, and where you spend the next few years matters more than it ever has. You can spend them supporting someone else’s mature platform, or you can help define how a new AI infrastructure company gets deployed in the world and have meaningful ownership in what you build.
You will work directly with a founder who has done this at scale. Our CEO has nearly two decades of experience building and scaling AI infrastructure businesses. He scaled a business from about $100M into a multi-billion-dollar segment at a leading cloud provider, and served as Chief Product Officer of a company he helped take public, now valued at over $50B. He leads by example, stays hands-on, and invests heavily in developing people and helping them do the best work of their careers.
The timing is now. AI is rapidly moving into production, and the infrastructure patterns underneath it are still being defined. The companies that win will be the ones that work in real customer environments, learn faster than everyone else, and turn those lessons into product.
