About the role

Senior Forward Deployed Engineer role focused on on-the-ground implementation of Enterprise AI products for the global supply chain, combining customer-facing partnership with hands-on engineering to deploy AI-native capabilities and integrate with diverse enterprise environments.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end technical deployment of Enterprise AI products, delivering AI-native capabilities that transform global supply chains.
  • Architect and build technical integrations, connecting or replacing legacy enterprise systems via bi-directional data pipelines, APIs, and agent-to-agent communication.
  • Navigate complex enterprise IT environments to deploy the AI platform across cloud, hybrid, and agentic architectures to get software live.
  • Partner directly with clients, end-users, and IT to translate operational realities into concrete engineering tasks and AI-native workflows.
  • Code immediate, customer-specific product adaptations, balancing rapid execution with Platform Engineering collaboration to shape core capabilities.
  • Proactively clear technical, security, and adoption hurdles, leveraging AI to accelerate deployments and rollouts.
  • Codify field solutions into reusable deployment playbooks and software blocks to scale beyond one-off tweaks.
