Forward Deployed Engineer

About the position

At  Aisera we are on a mission to create state-of-the-art AI Agents that solve practical problems for our customers. We are focused on leveraging the latest technologies in Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Agent systems, while ensuring that the solutions we develop are cost-effective, secure, and reliable. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of deploying AI agents that address real-world challenges. In this role, you will work closely with customers as well as our software and machine learning engineers, ensuring high-impact AI Agent deployments and contributing to the continuous improvement of our core AI platform. You’ll develop intelligent AI agents, integrate them seamlessly with external systems, and offer hands-on technical support to ensure successful deployments. This position requires strong engineering skills, adaptability, and customer engagement. If you are self-driven, analytical, and eager to leverage AI in practical applications, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Develop, configure, and deploy AI agents using Aisera's AI platform and tools.
• Integrate AI agents with external systems (APIs, databases, CRMs, etc.) to ensure seamless workflow integration.
• Optimize agent performance (e.g. fine-tune prompts and configurations) and troubleshoot issues in complex enterprise environments.
• Collaborate with customers and internal stakeholders to gather technical requirements and translate business needs into AI Agent solutions.
• Conduct interactive demos and present compelling proof-of-concepts to customers, proactively gather feedback, and iteratively refine solutions to meet objectives.
• Define project milestones, create implementation plans, and coordinate execution with internal teams to ensure on-time delivery.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor for the customer, guiding best practices for AI agent adoption and usage.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in software development, AI/ML engineering, or system integration.
• Proficiency in Javascript, Java, and/or Python, with the ability to write clean, efficient code.
• Experience with implementing OAuth, OIDC, and/or JWT authorization flows
• Familiarity with AI/ML concepts. Knowledge of prompt engineering techniques is required. Hands-on experience with building agents through LLM frameworks such as LangGraph or PydanticAI is strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of general AI agent frameworks, function calling, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Hands-on experience of building such a system is strongly preferred.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps practices (CI/CD, containerization, monitoring). Experience with ELK and AI monitoring tools such as Langfuse is highly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with integrating systems via APIs, webhooks, and data pipelines.
• Ability to use data-driven decision-making, including A/B testing and performance monitoring, to refine solutions.
• Excellent communication and project management skills.
