Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer

About the Role

Join an engineering team building AI workflow automation for the insurance industry. In this hands-on, customer-facing role, you will understand enterprise brokerage workflows, build solutions on the platform, and help turn successful implementations into scalable product capabilities. The work is roughly 70% coding and 30% customer scoping.

What You'll Do

• Own customer implementations from requirements gathering through deployment.

• Work with enterprise customers after the sale to understand business problems and define technical solutions.

• Build and ship AI agents and automations, often within the same week as initial customer conversations.

• Bring successful customer-specific solutions into the core platform.

• Partner with product and engineering teams to shape scalable features from customer insights.

What We're Looking For

• Three to six years of software engineering, forward deployed, solutions, implementation, or product engineering experience.

• Experience regularly working with customers to scope, build, and deploy solutions, alongside strong hands-on coding skills.

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

• Startup or software consulting experience, preferably at a venture-backed company.

• Experience building or deploying production AI/ML automations or agentic workflows; familiarity with LLM automation pipelines is a plus.

• Ability to manage enterprise deployments, switch between customer communication and focused engineering work, and take ownership in a fast-moving environment.

• A degree from a highly regarded university or comparable academic background.

• Insurance or financial services experience is helpful.
