About the Role
As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you’ll work directly with enterprise customers to deliver custom, production-ready AI solutions that solve real-world problems. You’ll lead the design and deployment of intelligent agents across customer workflows—owning everything from discovery and prototyping to configuration, testing, and launch.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role that combines engineering, customer collaboration, and applied AI. You will serve as a critical link between our product and the customer’s needs—ensuring rapid value delivery and laying the foundation for long-term success.
What You’ll Do
- Partner with enterprise customers to scope and implement AI Agent use cases across complex workflows
- Integrate IFS Loops platform with customer systems
- Tune agent behavior and logic to deliver measurable outcomes (e.g., lower costs, increase in efficiency, fewer errors)
- Troubleshoot deployments and iterate quickly to ensure performance, accuracy, and user adoption
- Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to feed customer insights into the roadmap
- Document technical decisions and hand off stable deployments to customer engineering or support teams

- Experience integrating with enterprise systems via APIs or middleware (e.g. Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, Oracle)
- Ability to translate business problems into technical solutions—and deliver them fast
- Strong interpersonal skills; you’re just as comfortable on a whiteboard with a customer as you are in code
- Bias toward action, ownership, and continuous learning in dynamic environments

- Experience deploying AI in mission-critical environments
- Prior work with enterprise AI platforms or multi-agent orchestration
