Job Description
### About the Role
We're a fast-growing enterprise AI solutions company building production-grade Generative AI applications that drive measurable impact for our clients across industries including Private Equity, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Ecommerce. Our team of 20+ AI engineers delivers end-to-end AI transformation — from strategy to deployment — with a focus on clean architecture and tangible results.
We're looking for a **Forward Deployed Engineer** to operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. You'll design and ship full-stack AI workflows in ambiguous, high-stakes environments — often embedded directly with client or operations teams. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for engineers who love working close to the customer.
### What You'll Do
* Design and implement full-stack AI applications — from UI to API to orchestration logic.
* Rapidly build and deploy functional prototypes to test ideas and drive immediate value for clients.
* Work hands-on with internal and external stakeholders to shape requirements and debug problems in real-time.
* Own the technical delivery of custom solutions, integrations, and workflow automation end-to-end.
* Collaborate closely with AI, product, and design teams to iterate on user-centric features.
* Contribute to a growing internal toolkit of reusable components, design patterns, and best practices for GenAI systems.
### What We're Looking For
**Required:**
* Strong CS fundamentals and a track record of end-to-end ownership of AI-powered workflows in production environments.
* Experience designing and implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines with vector databases.
* Proficiency building and deploying production-grade AI applications using OpenAI APIs and LangChain.
* Hands-on experience with a modern frontend stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
* Experience deploying on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, and/or GCP) and managing scalable AI workloads.
* Solid production-grade testing, monitoring, and reliability practices for AI systems.
* Strong client-facing communication and stakeholder management skills — able to translate ambiguous requirements into clear, deliverable solutions.
* Ability to collaborate fluidly across engineering, product, and customer success functions.
### Location & Work Arrangement
This role is **fully remote**, with the option to work from our Berlin, Germany headquarters. Candidates must be based in or able to work within compatible time zones.
**Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.**
