Forward Deployed AI Engineer

Forward Deployed AI Engineer

New York, NY (On-site, Full-Time)

We're partnered with a premier global investment and technology firm that is making a significant investment in AI as a core business capability. As part of that effort, they're hiring Forward Deployed AI Engineers to work directly with investment teams, clients, business leaders, and domain experts, identifying high-impact opportunities and building production AI solutions that transform how work gets done.

This is not a traditional software engineering role. You'll sit alongside stakeholders, learn their workflows firsthand, uncover inefficiencies, and design AI-powered systems that automate processes, improve decision-making, and unlock new ways of working.

What You'll Do

• Partner directly with business users to understand workflows, bottlenecks, and operational challenges
• Translate ambiguous business problems into scalable technical solutions
• Design, build, and deploy production AI applications, agents, and workflow automations
• Develop AI-powered tools leveraging LLMs, RAG, orchestration frameworks, and enterprise data sources
• Build integrations across internal systems, databases, APIs, and knowledge repositories
• Create reusable AI components, tools, and workflows that can scale across multiple teams
• Measure business impact through adoption, automation, efficiency gains, and decision quality improvements

Requirements:

• Bachelors or higher in Computer Science or related field
• 5-7+ full-time years of experience in software engineering
• Strong software engineering foundation with experience building and operating impactful production systems
• Experience building production AI applications using LLMs, agents, RAG, tool calling, or orchestration frameworks
• Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or similar modern programming languages
• Experience working with APIs, cloud platforms, data pipelines, and enterprise systems
• Fantastic communication skills and commerciality as you'd directly partner with business stakeholders internally and/or externally, operating in ambiguous environments
• Ability to move between architecture discussions, coding, workflow discovery, and solution delivery
• Track record of turning one-off solutions into reusable products or platforms

What's Unique About This Opportunity

You'll operate at the intersection of AI, software engineering, and business transformation. Successful engineers in this role are equally comfortable writing code, working with senior stakeholders, and reimagining how an organization can leverage AI to operate more effectively.

Compensation: Competitive base (~$180k-$200k), bonus, and equity package

• This position does not offer visa sponsorship*
