On-site | Full-time
Our client is a venture-backed, high-growth organization (YC W24) that has raised over $35M to pioneer the development of autonomous "AI employees." Unlike traditional chatbots or copilots, our client builds digital workers capable of performing end-to-end professional roles, such as automated business development, lead research, and objection handling. Currently at $8M+ ARR and scaling rapidly, the organization is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to serve as the critical bridge between their advanced AI technology and their most strategic enterprise customers.
The Forward Deployed Engineer operates at the intersection of engineering, consulting, and advisory. This individual will partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Product teams to ensure that the platform is seamlessly integrated into customer environments to drive measurable ROI. This is a foundational role within a new function directly overseen by the CEO, requiring a blend of deep technical proficiency and high-level strategic communication. This position is based on-site in New York City and requires frequent travel (up to 50%) to customer sites for discovery, scoping, and onboarding.
