Title:  Forward-Deployed AI Engineer (FDE)
Job Type:  Contract
Contract Length:  12 Months
Pay Range:  $50/hr – $175/hr
Start Date:  ASAP
Location:  Remote

About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in AI testing and Generative AI solutions, is looking for a skilled Forward-Deployed AI Engineer  to join their team for a 12-month engagement. This project involves integrating complex AI solutions directly into high-priority customer production environments, acting as the technical "last mile" specialist and advisor. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Embedding with high-priority customers to integrate complex AI solutions directly into their production environments.
  • Building custom "last-mile" data connectors and workflows that solve specific client business problems.
  • Troubleshooting and debugging AI implementation issues on-site or in secure client cloud environments.
  • Acting as a technical advisor to client stakeholders on AI best practices and roadmap feasibility.
  • Relaying critical "field intelligence" back to the core engineering team to drive product improvements.
Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
  • 5+ years of experience in Software Engineering or Solutions Architecture.
  • Deep expertise in full-stack AI development, API design, and enterprise data security. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
  • Experience with client-facing technical roles and rapid prototyping.
  • Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
