Job Description
Founding Forward Deployed Engineer — NYC (In-Person)
I'm partnering with an early-stage AI company in Brooklyn that's hiring one of their first engineers. This is genuinely one of the most exciting searches I've worked on.
They've built AI agents that solve real operational problems for large enterprises, and the traction speaks for itself. Revenue has grown dramatically year-on-year, they're working with household-name clients, and they haven't lost a single competitive evaluation.

The role is unlike a typical engineering position. You'd own customer relationships with senior executives, identify where the product can expand, and then actually build the technical solutions yourself. It's the closest thing to being a founder without having to start from scratch: the clients, the revenue, and the product-market fit are already there.
What makes someone a great fit:
→ You've operated with full end-to-end ownership before — whether as a forward deployed engineer, a founding engineer, or a technical founder
→ You're as comfortable in a room with a VP as you are in a codebase
Discover our full range of relocation jobs with comprehensive support packages to help you relocate and settle in your new location.
→ You're genuinely excited about applied AI and you're already building with the latest tools
→ You thrive in ambiguity and move fast without waiting for structure
Skills: Python, TypeScript
Comp is strong ($150K–$350K + equity), it's fully in-person in NYC, and relocation support is available. They're open on years of experience, what matters is the calibre of work you've done and how you think.
