Job Description
Title:
Forward
Deployed Engineer Location: Remote Start Date /
POSITION OVERVIEW
Forward Deployed Engineers are
embedded directly with enterprise customers and serve as their primary
technical point of contact across the full delivery lifecycle. FDEs own the
relationship as much as the technology — translating business needs into AI solutions,
anticipating blockers before they surface, and communicating progress with
clarity to both executive sponsors and engineering teams. This is a
customer-facing role where technical excellence and outstanding communication
are equally non-negotiable.
DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSIBILITIES
·
Lead stakeholder workshops, ask the right questions proactively,
document requirements before the customer thinks to ask, and establish trust
from day one.
·
Translate business needs into conversation flows, escalation
paths, and agent skill boundaries, presenting options clearly to all sponsors
and teams.
·
Implement GECX agents end-to-end including prompt engineering,
RAG pipelines, API integrations, and GCP infrastructure while proactively
flagging scope risks.
·
Build automated evaluation frameworks, define acceptance
criteria with the customer, and communicate quality status transparently to
avoid go-live surprises.
·
Lead production deployments with clear cutover communications to
all stakeholders and brief executive sponsors proactively before they ask.
·
Stay embedded through stabilization, surface performance
insights, communicate incident status in plain language, and train customer
teams to own their GECX agents.

IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE
