Job Description

• Engage directly with enterprise and strategic customers to understand their workflows, data, and technical requirements. • Architect, build, and deploy custom solutions leveraging GenAI, LLMs, Machine Learning and Vision models, and customer data sources. • Lead full project lifecycles: scoping, solution design, development, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration. • Integrate and optimize AI/ML pipelines, including data preprocessing, prompt engineering, model selection, and evaluation. • Build reliable, scalable software integrations using APIs, cloud services, and containerized systems. • Troubleshoot complex technical issues across the stack—applications, models, data pipelines, infrastructure, and integrations. • Act as the customer’s trusted technical advisor, enabling adoption of new product capabilities and AI features. • Partner closely with internal product and engineering teams to communicate customer feedback and shape roadmap direction. • Produce high-quality documentation, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and technical assets for customer teams. • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal best practices for FDE delivery.

Job Requirements

  • 5–10+ years in engineering roles such as Forward Deployed Engineer, ML Engineer, Software Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or similar.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or similar production-oriented languages.
  • Hands-on experience with Machine Learning, including training, fine-tuning, evaluating, or deploying models.
  • Direct experience with Generative AI (LLMs, multimodal models) and applying them to real-world problems.
  • Exposure to Computer Vision techniques (detection, segmentation, OCR, embeddings, multimodal pipelines).
  • Strong knowledge of ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, etc.).
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfort leading customer-facing engagements and guiding stakeholders through ambiguity.
  • Willingness and ability to travel frequently.
  • Preferred: Prior experience in consulting, technical solutions, professional services, or customer-embedded technical roles.
  • Experience with vector databases, embedding pipelines, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Experience building APIs, microservices, or distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with MLOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes, model registries, CI/CD for ML).
  • Background in deploying or fine-tuning CV models (YOLO, SAM, CLIP, DETR, etc.).
  • Experience in startup or high-growth environments.

Benefits

  • Innovative Environment: Play a critical role in transforming heavy industries through groundbreaking AI and automation technologies.
  • Collaborative Culture: Be part of a team that values innovation, discipline, and continuous improvement.
  • Professional Growth: Benefit from significant opportunities for career development and advancement.
  • Competitive Compensation: Enjoy a comprehensive salary and equity package reflective of your expertise and contributions.
