Job description

Summary

Talent Vine is a company focused on connecting talent with AI companies that are deploying real products. They are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to work at the intersection of engineering and product, engaging directly with customers to develop and deploy AI systems in live environments.

Responsibilities

  • Working directly with customers to understand how they operate and where things break
  • Turning vague, real-world problems into working technical solutions
  • Deploying and iterating on AI systems in live environments
  • Going back and forth between customers and internal teams to shape what gets built
  • Prototyping quickly, debugging issues, and owning things end-to-end
  • Helping figure out what 'good' looks like for deploying AI in production

Skills

  • Strong engineering fundamentals (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, etc.)
  • Experience working close to users — not just building in isolation
  • Comfortable operating without a clear roadmap or spec
  • Able to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical people
  • You like building, not just planning
  • Interest in AI (hands-on experience is a plus, but not required)
  • Grit and resilience
