Forward Deployed AI Engineer

About the Role

This hands-on engineering role sits at the intersection of AI, product, and customer implementation in the insurance technology sector. You will work with enterprise insurance brokerages to understand their workflows, build AI-powered solutions, and help turn successful implementations into scalable platform capabilities.

What You'll Do

• Own customer engagements from requirements gathering and technical scoping through implementation and deployment.

• Build and ship AI agents and workflow automations, often delivering working solutions within the same week as customer conversations.

• Work directly with enterprise customers after the sale to understand their business needs and shape practical technical solutions.

• Develop across the front end and back end, then incorporate reusable customer learnings into platform features.

• Collaborate with product and engineering teammates to make customer-driven improvements that scale across deployments.

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of software engineering, forward deployed, solutions, implementation, or product engineering experience, with substantial hands-on coding.

• Experience scoping and delivering post-sales customer solutions, including the ability to balance customer communication with focused engineering work.

• Full-stack proficiency and experience with Python and/or TypeScript.

• Startup or software consulting experience, including work at a venture-backed startup at Series A or later.

• Experience building or scaling enterprise deployments and shipping multiple product features or automations for large customers.

• Strong engineering fundamentals and a relevant degree or equivalent background.

• Production experience with AI/ML automations, agentic workflows, or LLM-powered pipelines is a plus, as is experience in insurance or financial services.

• Substantive professional experience in the United States.
