Forward Deployed Engineer – AI and Automation

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

📋 Description

• Develop production-grade AI agents and automation workflows that address crucial business challenges across various departments such as Finance, Legal, and People.

• Work closely with Subject Matter Experts to convert manual business processes into efficient, dependable technical specifications and agentic architectures.

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

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

• Enable and instruct internal partners, serving as a technical force multiplier to assist non-technical teams in adopting an AI-first approach and developing their own automated agents.

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

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

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

• Produce reusable playbooks, architecture decision records, and handoff documentation to enable the teams you collaborate with to maintain and expand upon your work.

⛳️ Requirements

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

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

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

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

• A "Product Mindset" — you don’t merely close tickets; you identify friction points, design solutions, and can effectively conduct working sessions and present trade-offs to audiences ranging from individual contributors to senior leadership.

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

• Initiative and proactivity — everyone here is a builder and executor; you are comfortable collaborating across organizational lines to achieve results.

• 401(k) plan with company match

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