Job Description

You write production code and you're at your best in front of the customer. Automate real engineering work, from the shop floor to the eval.

A fast-growing seed-stage company in San Francisco automates white-collar work in engineering and life sciences, and sells the resulting RL environments to frontier AI labs. It already runs at an eight-figure revenue rate and is backed by angels from leading AI labs and private-equity firms. The team of six is growing to about fifteen by year end.

They're hiring 2 forward deployed engineers.

What you'll own

• Embedding with enterprise customers, for example alongside the engineers who do CAD modelling
• Building the automation, and the evals that prove it works on real data
• Deployment and rollout, and feeding the lessons back into a shared platform
• Customer calls on your own, plus upsells and new opportunities between projects

Must-haves

• You've worked as an FDE (an AI startup is ideal), or in an engineering role at a company that runs forward-deployed teams
• You write strong code and have put software into production, preferably while working directly with clients or as a consulting engineer
• Comfortable running a customer meeting alone, and proactive when a project is quiet
• At least 1 year of experience
• Working from the San Francisco office, 9-9-6

Bonus points

• AI agents, enterprise integrations or automating workflows for engineering or life-sciences clients
• Evals or tests for systems whose output is hard to verify
• A phase two or upsell you scoped yourself

What's in it for you

• $175k–$350k base, plus commission and 0.1–0.5% equity
• Real trust: you face customers without a founder in every meeting, paired with a project lead on each engagement
• Health cover, a gym, and a $1,000 monthly meal budget

Good to know

• Full-time, on-site in San Francisco, 9-9-6
• Visa options are limited: US citizens and green card holders, refugees or asylees, and H-1B, O-1 or TN holders can be considered, so please share your exact status
• Process: profile review → whiteboard session (1 hour) → open-ended coding interview (1 hour) → one day on-site → offer

When you apply, please include

• Your CV (PDF), your LinkedIn URL, and GitHub if you have one
• A customer deployment you owned: the situation before, what you built, and how it ran in production
• Your current location, and confirmation that on-site San Francisco works for you
• Your visa or citizenship status, and if you'll need sponsorship
• Your base salary expectation, your notice period, and any other interview processes you're in
