Associate Forward Deployed Engineer

Engineering Bangalore13 yrs experience
Role Summary
You'll be embedded with client teams to deploy our AI and data products into their real environments. This is not a demo-and-hand-off role — you own the last mile: integration, configuration, debugging, and getting users to actually adopt what we ship. You'll work alongside a Senior FDE and the product team.

Key Responsibilities:
What you'll do
Deploy and configure our AI/data platform in client environments (cloud, on-prem, or hybrid).
Build integrations with client systems — data sources, auth (SSO/SAML), APIs, warehouses, vector stores.
• Write glue code, scripts, and small services (Python/TypeScript/SQL) to fit the product into the client's
workflow.
• Implement and tune LLM/RAG pipelines and agentic workflows against real client data.
• Run POCs, pilots, and workshops; translate requirements into technical tasks and working prototypes.
• Triage bugs and production issues; fix what you can, escalate the rest with a clean reproduction.
• Document deployments, prompts, evals, and runbooks.
• Feed patterns and gaps back to the product team.

Must Have
• 1–3 years in software, data, or ML engineering.
• Solid Python and SQL; comfortable with at least one cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP).
Hands-on experience building with LLMs — OpenAI/Anthropic/open-source models via API, prompt
design, structured outputs.
• Working knowledge of RAG — chunking, embeddings, vector DBs (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, or
similar), retrieval evaluation.
Experience with at least one agentic framework — LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Autogen,
Semantic Kernel, or equivalent.
• Understanding of tool use, function calling, and basic guardrails/evals.
• Willingness to be client-facing — clear writing, live demos, hard questions.

Preferred / Nice to Have
• Fine-tuning or model distillation experience.
• Exposure to Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric.
• Regulated-industry work (BFSI, healthcare, government).
