Forward Deployed AI Engineer

About the Role

Join an engineering team building AI automation for the insurance brokerage sector. This hands-on, customer-facing role combines software development with customer scoping, turning business workflows into deployed solutions and bringing successful work back into the platform.

What You'll Do

• Own enterprise implementations from requirements gathering through deployment.

• Build and ship AI agents and automations that address customer workflows.

• Work with customers after sale to understand business problems and scope technical solutions.

• Deliver working solutions rapidly, often within a week of customer conversations.

• Integrate successful customer-specific work into the core platform.

• Partner with product and engineering teams to turn customer insights into scalable features.

What We're Looking For

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

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

• Experience balancing hands-on coding with customer-facing scoping and requirements gathering.

• A track record of shipping multiple customer-facing features or automations for enterprise customers, including post-sale work delivered quickly.

• Startup experience, including work at a Series A or later company, and no software consulting background.

• Experience building or deploying AI, LLM, or agentic workflows in production is a plus.

• Insurance or financial services experience is helpful, along with strong ownership and the ability to switch between customer communication and focused engineering work.

• A degree from a strong university or equivalent academic background, and substantive US work experience.
