About the role

This is a full-time, on-site role for a Forward Deployed Engineer based in Bangalore, India.

In this role, you will work directly with customers to design, build, and deploy AI-driven systems into live production environments. You will operate at the intersection of frontend, backend, and infrastructure, owning problems end-to-end — from initial requirements to production rollout. You will design AI-native interfaces and workflows, integrate LLM-powered systems, and build real-time applications that connect software to physical operations.

Qualifications

- Strong understanding of frontend system design, including: state management (local vs global vs server state), performance optimization, caching, and rendering patterns.

- Hands-on experience building production LLM systems, including RAG pipelines, agent orchestration, embeddings/vector search, and prompt design — with a strong understanding of trade-offs (latency, cost, hallucinations, reliability)

- Ability to own problems and systems end-to-end, from first principles and problem definition through design, implementation, and production.

- Strong foundations in computer science and software engineering principles

- Experience working in client-facing or high-ownership environments is a plus
