Forward Deployed Engineer - On-site - SF

Hiring the first Forward Deployed Engineer in San Francisco for an amazing team!

Quick context:

An AI company rebuilding how insurance claims get handled.
High seven-figure revenue in under a year and still growing fast.
Not naming them publicly; happy to share once we talk.

What the job actually is:

You own customer deployments end to end, from scoping to go-live.
You're the main contact for senior people on the client side, you build and ship the AI agents yourself, and what you learn goes straight back into the product.
There are no FDEs yet. You write the playbook the next ones follow.

Must have:

• 1 to 5 years, with production Python shipped




• Built at a VC-backed startup, as a founder, or at a fast-moving tech company




• You can explain what you built to a non-technical exec and they get it




• Hands-on with LLMs, prompting and agents




• In SF or moving there. Onsite 5 days




• US authorized, supporting H-1B transfers and TN

Nice to have:

• A customer-facing role before, like FDE, solutions engineer, or anything where the client was in the room




• Started something yourself




• You build fast with AI coding tools

Being straight with you on one thing:

This is the first person in a new function at a company growing this fast, and it'll be intense. If you want a settled role with a defined scope, this isn't the one.
