Ai Forward Deployed Engineer Jobs

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day. You independently lead the most complex AI deployments Smartsheet undertakes. You own the full engagement lifecycle from technical discovery through production deployment through solutions org handoff. You architect multi-agent solutions, design client-personalized MCP resource packs, and build the Deployment Kits that transform how 200+ solutions consultants and partners operate. You mentor junior FDEs, drive the intelligence loop, and present field findings at weekly Applied AI strategy sessions. You are building a function, not filling a role. What You Will Do Lead complex, multi-system AI deployments end-to-end scope, architect, build, validate, and manage the customer relationship throughout. Own the AI workshop program for your pod, customize modules per customer, lead technical sessions, translate outputs into production requirements, evolve content from field learning. Architect multi-agent solutions selecting the right coordination pattern for each customer’s workflow characteristics and compliance requirements. Design client-specific and industry-specific MCP resource packs that serve personalized intelligence from the server so every connected AI surface gets smarter for that customer automatically. Own Deployment Kit quality for your pod. If a kit is not documented well enough for a solutions consultant with no engineering background to follow, it isn’t done.

Apply to be the newest Snorkeler! About the Role Snorkel AI is hiring a Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering to build and lead our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) function within the Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) organization. This team is responsible for the technical execution layer of DaaS delivery — owning the systems, workflows, and quality frameworks that power high-quality dataset production at scale. You will lead a team of engineers who operate across the full AI data lifecycle: designing evaluation systems, building ML-assisted workflows, and developing the technical foundations that make human-in-the-loop (HITL) data generation faster, more reliable, and scalable. This is a hands-on, player coach role where you’ll both help define the strategy and architecture of our data pipelines while staying close to implementation. As a founding leader, you will establish how FDE partners with Delivery, Engineering, and Research to ensure consistent, high-quality execution across all DaaS projects.

Apply to be the newest Snorkeler! About the Role In this role, you will lead and scale Snorkel’s entire Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) organization. These are the engineers who design, build, and run the data pipelines used by the world’s leading AI labs and enterprises. You’ll shape the function’s direction, drive its execution, and manage our fastest-growing team as it scales from 40 to 100+ engineers. You’ll set the technical and organizational strategy that turns one-off implementations into reusable solutions—pipelines, evals, augmentations, and environments—and invest in shared ways of working. In our product lifecycle, FDE sits between Research, which defines novel approaches and training needs, and Engineering, which scales our platform and pipelines from 1 to 100. FDE owns the most important middle stretch, taking every new investment from 0 to 1. Your organization is responsible for both what we deliver and how we deliver it. Just as Engineering is the final gate for what goes to production, FDE is the final gate for every dataset that ships to a customer. Nothing goes out without your team’s sign-off. You’ll also own the pipelines that produce that data, from cost and throughput to latency and efficiency. This role is for a deeply technical leader who is, first and foremost, a doer . You’ll understand pipeline architecture well enough to challenge designs and propose direction, while coaching your managers and tech leads to think beyond their individual projects. In a fas

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. About the role As a member of the GTM team at Anthropic, you will be a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who embeds directly with our most strategic customers and leads the technical direction of their AI adoption. Customers bring you in to lead, not only to implement: you decide what should be built, and then make sure it gets built well. You will work with customer teams to ship advanced AI applications that solve real world business problems, and guide the architecture and advisory work that surrounds those builds across an account. Working closely with our Research, Product, and Engineering teams, you'll combine engineering expertise, an understanding of frontier AI applications, and customer-facing skills to understand customer workflows and develop innovative solutions that address complex business challenges while maintaining our high standards for safety and reliability. You will sit at the frontier of enterprise AI deployments and help shape our forward-deployed motion as it scales. We expect Staff FDEs to set direction under ambiguity and represent Anthropic at the highest level in customer environments. In this role, you guide architecture and build initiatives across workstreams, working directly with senior technical and business stakeholders and owning outcomes that span an account's roadmap. You don't need to have shipped agents to production. You do need deep experience building and operating production systems, hands-on time with agents, and the judgment to lead architecture and advisory work with enterprise customers. Responsibilities Own technical strategy for a key account or vertical, in partnership with accou
