The hardest part of enterprise AI isn't building a great model—it's building AI systems that reliably operate inside complex production environments.

As a Senior Frontier Agent Engineer (Forward Deployed Engineering), you'll work directly with strategic enterprise customers to architect, integrate, deploy, and operate production AI systems. You'll combine modern software engineering, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and frontier AI technologies to transform cutting-edge models into reliable enterprise software.

Unlike traditional infrastructure or platform roles, you'll work at the intersection of AI and enterprise engineering. You'll design production agent architectures, integrate with customer systems, deploy AI into mission-critical workflows, and help shape the engineering best practices for the next generation of enterprise AI.

If you enjoy solving difficult systems problems, rapidly prototyping new AI capabilities, and bringing frontier AI into production, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Build

Enterprise AI Systems

Architect and deploy production AI systems that integrate seamlessly into complex enterprise environments, including cloud platforms, data warehouses, internal APIs, business applications, and proprietary software systems.
