Work type: hybrid
Location: New York - Hybrid
Salary: $180,000 – $264,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is ideal for a high-level engineer (7+ years) who enjoys the intersection of technical architecture and client strategy. You’ll need a deep background in Python and the modern AI stack (LLMs, LangChain, Pinecone), but more importantly, you should be a "builder-consultant." This isn't just about writing code; it's about walking into messy, ambiguous enterprise environments and designing scalable AI workflows from scratch. The compensation is highly competitive ($180k–$264k plus equity), but the real draw is the company’s momentum. They are profitable, growing rapidly, and working with top-tier AI firms like Microsoft and AWS. While the culture is fast-paced and expects "relentless drive," it offers a front-row seat to practical enterprise AI deployment. Note that this is a **strict hybrid role** requiring 3–4 days a week in the Manhattan office. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Thrive in client-facing roles and can explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. * Are local to NYC and prefer an office-based, collaborative engineering culture. * Have extensive experience with data orchestration (Kafka, ETL pipelines) and deploying production-grade AI systems. * Prefer "owning" a project end-to-end rather than working on a small piece of a massive codebase.

## About The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) you'll work directly with clients and our internal delivery teams to build and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how work gets done. You’ll own projects end-to-end: scoping ambiguous problems, prototyping AI workflows, and deploying scalable systems on top of our products — all while interfacing with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
This is a hybrid role: equal parts AI engineer, software builder, and technical consultant. It's perfect for someone who wants to be hands-on with models and close to the impact they generate.
You will need to be based in the Greater NYC area and be willing to work from the Manhattan office 3-4 days a week.
