Forward Deployed Engineer – AI and Automation

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Develop production-ready AI agents and automation workflows that address critical business challenges across various departments, including Finance, Legal, and People.

• Work closely alongside Subject Matter Experts to convert manual business operations into efficient, reliable technical specifications and agent-oriented architectures.

• Quickly prototype and implement comprehensive solutions utilizing Python and contemporary AI frameworks (LLM APIs, RAG patterns, and agentic SDKs), maintaining clear ownership throughout the entire process from discovery to production.

• Establish and uphold solid integrations between OnePay’s primary SaaS platforms (Salesforce, Workday, etc.) and tailored AI services, ensuring data integrity and security.

• Empower and instruct internal stakeholders, serving as a technical force multiplier to assist non-technical teams in adopting AI-first approaches and developing their own automated agents.

• Implement monitoring and safeguards to ensure all AI-powered workflows are secure, compliant, and resilient at scale—including appropriate management of PII, access control design, audit logging, and collaboration with Legal and Security review processes.

• Design and execute evaluation frameworks to verify agent accuracy, reliability, and regression behavior before and after production deployments.

• Facilitate structured discovery sessions with business stakeholders to identify requirements, evaluate feasibility, and deliver clear technical scopes prior to any coding.

• Generate reusable playbooks, architecture decision records, and handoff documentation to enable the teams you collaborate with to maintain and enhance your creations.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of professional engineering experience, demonstrating a successful history of delivering production code that users rely on daily.

• Practical expertise with modern AI tools, including substantial experience with LLM APIs, agent frameworks (LangGraph, Claude SDK), and developer productivity tools such as Cursor or Claude Code.

• Understanding of LLM evaluation methods—encompassing prompt regression testing, human-in-the-loop reviews, and automated evaluation pipelines.

• Strong proficiency in Python (or TypeScript/Go equivalent), with the capability to write clean, maintainable, and thoroughly tested code within a shared codebase.

• A "Product Mindset"—you don't merely resolve tickets; you actively identify friction points, design solutions, and can facilitate working sessions and present trade-offs effectively to various audiences, from individual contributors to senior leadership.

• Experience in systems integration, including a foundational knowledge of REST APIs, data pipelines (SQL), and cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS).

• A proactive attitude—everyone here is a builder and executor; you are comfortable collaborating across organizational boundaries to achieve results.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary, stock options, and health benefits starting from Day 1.

• 401(k) plan with company matching.

• Remote-friendly (US), flexible time off (FTO), and opportunities for advancement.

• A high-growth, mission-driven, inclusive culture where your contributions make a significant impact.
