This company powers production inference for some of the most innovative AI teams around. They've just closed a major funding round and are growing their Forward Deployed Engineering group — a hands-on role with real variety, working directly with cutting-edge teams to take models from exploration through to reliable, production-grade systems.


This company is building the backbone of high-scale AI applications. They’re powering production inference for some of the most innovative teams in the space. They’ve just closed a major funding round and are expanding their Forward Deployed Engineering group.

This is a hands-on engineering role with a ton of variety and ownership. You’ll work directly with cutting-edge AI teams, helping them take advanced models from early exploration all the way through to reliable, observable, production-grade systems.

If you enjoy working across software engineering, product thinking, performance tuning, and customer-facing problem-solving, this is for you.

 

What you’ll do

· Build and maintain production-level services and features (Python is strongly preferred).

· Work side-by-side with customers to architect, implement, and deploy high-scale AI systems.

· Turn ambiguous goals into clear specs, PoCs, and shipped solutions.

· Drive end-to-end delivery: problem framing → evaluation → deployment → monitoring.

· Optimise and enhance AI/ML pipelines, improving reliability, latency, and cost.

· Act as an engineer, product partner, and technical guide to customers adopting frontier AI.

 

What they’re looking for

· Degree in CS/Engineering/Maths or related field.

· 2 + years in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

· Strong software engineering skills (Python preferred).

· Familiarity with ML pipelines or model deployment environments.

· Ability to communicate complex technical ideas clearly.

· Comfort working in ambiguity and taking full ownership of outcomes.

 

Why this role stands out

· High compensation + meaningful equity.

· 100% medical, dental & vision covered for you and dependents.

· Generous PTO + full company winter break.

· Parental leave, 401(k), and strong benefits.

· Front-row exposure to some of the most advanced AI applications being built today.

· A role that blends engineering, product, and real-world impact.
