About the Role

We are building a world-class AI Consulting team and are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who can bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI technology and real-world enterprise problems.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, data, and customer engagement—working directly with enterprise clients to design and deploy AI solutions.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and deploy AI/ML solutions across use cases like:
• NLP / GenAI applications
• Computer Vision
• Predictive analytics
• Rapidly build prototypes, PoCs, and production-grade solutions
• Collaborate with internal AI/Engineering teams to deliver scalable implementations
• Integrate AI solutions with client data systems, APIs, and workflows
• Debug, iterate, and optimize solutions based on real-world feedback
• Act as a technical advisor to clients during solution deployment

What We’re Looking For

• 2–5 years of experience in Software Engineering / Data Engineering / ML Engineering roles
• Strong programming skills in Python (must-have)
• Experience with:
• Machine Learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn)
• Data handling (Pandas, SQL, ETL pipelines)
• APIs and backend systems
• Exposure to GenAI / LLMs (OpenAI, open-source models, etc.) is a strong plus
• Ability to work in ambiguous environments and solve open-ended problems
• Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with clients

Bonus If You Have

• Experience in client-facing or consulting roles
• Built and deployed AI solutions in production environments
• Experience with:
• Cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure)
• Vector databases, RAG pipelines, LLM applications
• Startup experience or 0→1 product building mindset

Why This Role is Different

• You won’t just build models—you’ll see them solve real business problems
• Work directly with enterprise clients and decision-makers
• High ownership and fast execution environment
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI use cases

Compensation

• Competitive salary + performance incentives
• High growth opportunities in a fast-scaling AI startup
