Job Description
2. Forward Deployed Engineer / Forward Deployed AI Engineer
Job Title: Forward Deployed Engineer - AI
Location: San Francisco Bay Area, CA
Employment Type: Full-Time
Work Model: Onsite / Hybrid with customer interaction/travel as required
Job Summary
We are seeking a highly technical Forward Deployed Engineer who can operate at the intersection of customers, product, AI, and software engineering.
This is not a traditional pre-sales or Solutions Architect position. The successful candidate will be expected to write production-quality code, understand complex customer problems, rapidly prototype solutions, integrate with customer systems, and work with the core engineering team to turn successful implementations into scalable product capabilities.
Responsibilities
  • Work directly with customers to understand complex technical and business problems.
  • Translate ambiguous customer requirements into working technical solutions.
  • Build prototypes and POCs rapidly and evolve successful solutions into production deployments.
  • Develop integrations, APIs, backend services, data workflows, and AI-powered applications.
  • Build with Python and/or TypeScript and modern cloud/backend technologies.
  • Implement LLM, RAG, agentic, and Generative AI workflows where appropriate.
  • Integrate products with customer data sources, APIs, databases, and enterprise systems.
  • Troubleshoot technical issues across application, data, integration, and infrastructure layers.
  • Partner closely with product and engineering to convert customer learnings into reusable product features.
  • Own implementations from technical discovery through deployment and adoption.
  • Communicate technical concepts effectively to both engineers and senior customer stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
  • Strong hands-on software engineering background.
  • Proficiency with Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Java, or similar languages.
  • Experience developing APIs, integrations, backend applications, or full-stack products.
  • Experience working directly with customers or end users on technical implementations.
  • Ability to move quickly from discovery → solution design → prototype → production.
  • Strong debugging and systems-thinking skills.
  • Experience working with modern cloud infrastructure and data systems.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with significant ownership.
Highly Preferred
  • Previous Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Customer Engineer, Founding Engineer, or similar experience.
  • Hands-on experience building production AI/LLM/agentic applications.
  • Experience at an early-stage/high-growth technology company.
  • Strong startup or 0→1 product-building experience.
  • Ability and willingness to travel to customer sites when necessary.

Important: Candidates whose experience is primarily presentations, pre-sales demonstrations, or high-level solution architecture without substantial hands-on coding are unlikely to be suitable.
Why SA Technologies Inc.?
Empowering Work Environment: A Great Place to Work, especially celebrated as one of the Best Places for Women.
Excellence and Quality: A CMMI Level 5 Company, ensuring operational and service excellence.
Globally Acclaimed: A Microsoft Gold Partner and Google Partner, with over 20 years of global IT consulting and Development solutions delivery.
