Forward Deploy Engineer

About the Role:

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to work closely with customers and build technical solutions to solve real-world business problems.

This is a highly customer-facing engineering role, combining full-stack development, AI and solution engineering. You will work in ambiguous environments, take end-to-end ownership and turn customer requirements into working product solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work directly with customers to understand technical and business requirements.
• Design, build and deploy full-stack solutions and product features.
• Integrate AI/LLM capabilities into applications and workflows.
• Troubleshoot technical challenges and develop practical solutions.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to deliver customer-focused solutions.
• Take ownership of projects from requirement gathering through implementation.
• Work effectively in fast-paced and ambiguous environments.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience as a Full Stack Engineer, Product Engineer, AI Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect or similar role.
• Strong understanding of both frontend and backend development.
• Experience building and contributing to real-world product features.
• Exposure to AI/LLMs, Copilots, AI automation or GenAI tools.
• Strong problem-solving and customer-facing communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of outcomes.
• Comfortable working with evolving requirements and ambiguity.

Preferred Background

• Candidates from product/SaaS companies, AI startups, or modern technology environments are preferred.
• Experience working with product clients through a service-based organization will also be considered, provided you have strong hands-on product engineering experience.
• Important: This is not a backend-only role. Strong full-stack exposure and the ability to work directly with customers are essential.

The role

A working product and a working deployment are two different things. You are the person who closes that gap.

You sit inside the client's head office. You get the deployment live, you get their teams using the dashboards, and you own whether the AI is returning something worth acting on. Every client is different: different languages on the floor, different store noise, different vocabulary for the same product, different CRM, different idea of what a good conversation looks like. The core platform does not change for each of them. You are the layer that makes it fit, and you are the one the client meets.

You are encouraged to spend time in stores. The engineers who do the best work here are the ones who have stood on a shop floor and watched where the pitch and the pipeline actually break. Nobody will make you go. You will also spend real time in the codebase, because you fix what you find rather than filing it.

What you build has a commercial edge to it. A pilot converts when the client sees the result they were promised, and an account grows when a second team inside it sees what is already sitting in their data. Both of those outcomes are yours to deliver, not somebody else's to chase.

How you will work

You design the deployment, you build it, and you own whether it holds up on a Saturday evening in a crowded store. Nobody hands you the plan, and nobody hands you the spec. You write both.

The decisions are yours. Which integration is worth the week, which vertical taxonomy needs building, what ships in the pilot and what waits, and when to tell a client that the thing they are asking for is the wrong thing to build. You go and find out what a client needs before anyone writes a line of code.

You will not be doing it alone. There are founders, AI engineers and product people around you, and they will build alongside you. What nobody will do is tell you what the client needs. That call is yours.

The work compounds if you do it well. What you learn on one deployment becomes a specification, then code, then a pattern the next one starts from. A year in, the deployments you designed should be running without you, and a new client should take a fraction of the time the first one did.

What you will do

Own the deployment end to end. Device provisioning, store connectivity, data flowing, first insight in front of the client. Get from kickoff to something real inside

the pilot window, and know by the halfway mark whether it is in trouble.

Get their HQ using it. A dashboard nobody opens is a failed deployment. Sit with the sales, marketing and L&D teams, show them what is in their own data, and

make sure the people who asked for this are actually looking at it every week.

Make the AI work on their floor. Their languages, their store noise, their product vocabulary. Benchmark transcription and speaker separation on their actual

audio, and fix what fails instead of explaining it away.

Build the vertical. Intent taxonomies, objection maps and prompt libraries for the category you are deployed into. A jewellery floor and an electronics floor do not

share a conversation model.

Wire it into their systems. CRM and POS integrations, so conversation data connects to what actually got sold and the insight can be checked against reality.

Build what the client asks for. Custom reports, dashboards and agents. Ground everything in source conversations and verify it before it ships, because a confident

wrong number costs an account.

Close the pilot. A pilot converts on results, not on effort. Know what the client agreed to judge this on, work backwards from it, and make sure the output in front of

their leadership at the end is the thing they asked for.

Grow the account. The same intelligence is worth something to marketing, L&D and category teams inside the same client. Spot which of them would benefit, show them what is already in their data, and hand a real opening to the account team.

Push it back into the product. Turn one-off client work into something the platform does by default, so the next deployment starts further ahead than this one did.

What we are looking for

Must have

• 0 to 5 years of experience. A consulting internship or an analyst role is the closest match to what this job actually asks for, but we care more about what you can do than where you did it
• Coding ability, ideally Python. Degree, internship, first job or your own projects. What we want to see is something you built that other people actually used
• Excel or Sheets at a real working level. A lot of the first conversation with a client happens in a spreadsheet before it ever happens in a dashboard
• The ability to explain a complicated idea simply. You will be taking AI output to people who do not think about models, and the explanation matters as much as the result
• Comfort at the boundaries. APIs, data pipelines, some frontend, some hardware when a device misbehaves
• An eye for where a deployment turns into more business, and the willingness to raise it yourself
• Heavy hands-on LLM usage. Prompts, evaluations, retrieval, and a clear view on where these tools break
• Fluent English and Hindi. A third Indian language counts for a lot, since the useful conversations happen on store floors and not only in HQ meeting rooms
• The instinct to go and find out what a client needs rather than waiting to be told

Good to have

Speech or audio work. Transcription, diarization, voice activity detection, or

anything that survives noisy real-world recording

Embedded or IoT experience, on ESP32 or similar

SQL and experience building things customers actually look at

Side projects, hackathons or internships where you shipped without a spec

and it worked

Forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) are Mactores' services layer. You embed with the customer's team, own outcomes from discovery through the production cutover, and personally carry the delivery commitment.

The agent platform we deploy absorbs 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, assessment, design, and testing. You absorb the judgment: target architecture, refactoring trade-offs, model selection, cutover strategy, and the decisions an agent platform cannot make. The agent absorbs scale. You absorb judgment. 

This is not a staff-augmentation seat and not an advisory role. You ship.

What you will do?

• Deliver production agentic AI systems and AWS modernization engagements on committed dates across three pillars: Data Platform Modernization, Application & Database Modernization, and AI Agents for Apps.
• Build and productionize AI agents, orchestration, retrieval pipelines, evaluation harnesses, observability running against real customer data, not demo data.
• Convert existing products into agents: expose product functionality as callable tools for agent-to-agent composition, or replace form-and-click UX with agent-native, intent-driven interfaces.
• Convert existing Business processes into agents: expose process functionality as callable tools for agent-to-agent composition, or replace form-and-click UX with agent-native, intent-driven interfaces.
• Embed directly with customer engineering teams. Run architecture sessions, defend design decisions, and align stakeholders from VP Engineering to CTO.
• Make agent decisions traceable and defensible, validation runs in parallel with live workloads, and outputs hold up to internal audit and regulators (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FSI-grade governance where the vertical demands it).
• Feed field experience back into the platform and practice: your deployment patterns, integration playbooks, and edge cases shape how we deliver.

What are we looking for?

• Excellent communication skills (English) — verbal and written. Non-negotiable. You will present architecture to customer CTOs, write documents that hold up in audit, and defend judgment calls in the room. If you can build but not explain, this role is not a fit.
• You have shipped production agentic AI systems on AWS. Not POCs, not notebooks — systems running in production for real users. This is the primary qualification. Be prepared to walk through what you shipped, the decisions you made, and what broke.
• Deep understanding of agentic architecture — you can design an agent system from first principles and explain why each component exists:
• Agent design patterns: single-agent vs. multi-agent systems, supervisor/orchestrator patterns, hierarchical agent topologies, planner–executor separation, and when each applies.
• Orchestration: building and operating orchestrator agents that decompose tasks, route work to specialist agents or tools, and manage state across multi-step workflows (LangGraph, Strands Agents, CrewAI, or equivalent).
• Memory: short-term/working memory (context management, conversation state) and long-term memory (episodic and semantic stores, vector- and graph-backed retrieval), and the production trade-offs of each.
• Reflection and self-correction: critique loops, self-evaluation, retry-with-feedback patterns, and evaluation harnesses that catch agent failures before customers do.
• Tool use and function calling: schema design, tool-selection reliability, error handling, and agent-to-agent composition.
• RAG and retrieval pipelines: chunking, embedding, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and grounding agent decisions in customer data.
• Strong AWS production experience: Amazon Bedrock and AWS AI services, plus core platform services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, RDS/Aurora, Glue, EMR, Redshift, Kinesis, or similar depending on specialization).
• Solid software engineering fundamentals Python, TypeScript, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, testing-driven development discipline.
• Experience with data or application modernization (database migration, legacy refactoring, data platform builds) is a strong plus, since agents run against these workloads.
• Indicative experience: roughly 3–10 years in engineering roles, with agentic AI / GenAI as your current day job. We have demonstrated agent-native expertise over tenure — an engineer with 3–4 years of hands-on agentic AI work typically outperforms a 12-year generalist on this work.

You'll be preferred if you've:

• US English verbal and written fluency 
• Delivery experience in one or more of our verticals: Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Internet & Software, Manufacturing, or Telco/Media/Entertainment/Gaming/Sports.
• Model tuning and fine-tuning: systematic prompt engineering and optimization; parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA or similar); instruction tuning; working knowledge of RLHF/DPO; sound judgment on when to fine-tune vs. prompt vs. RAG; and evaluation of tuned models against baselines. Fine-tuning experience on Amazon Bedrock or SageMaker is a plus.
• Experience with compliance-sensitive AI systems (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, data residency).
• Knowledge graph, code-analysis (AST), or CDC/streaming experience (Debezium, Kafka/MSK).
• Solid software engineering fundamentals — Java, C++, Go Lang, .Net, Rust
• Prior customer-facing consulting or forward-deployed experience.
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional, Machine Learning Specialty, or Data Analytics).

Why This Role?

• You own outcomes, not tickets. FDEs carry the delivery commitment personally — architecture, judgment, and cutover are yours.
• You work agent-native from day one. Our delivery model would not function without agents. You build with the platform, not around it.
• You ship. Engagements measured in weeks to production, legacy retired, outcomes named. No archived pilots.
• You compound. Field delivery informs the Aedeon platform roadmap; the platform's growth expands what you can deliver. Few engineering roles sit in that loop.

Forward Deployed Implementation Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Implementation Engineer who can work closely with customers and internal teams to successfully implement and operationalize our product.

This is a customer-facing, execution-oriented role that sits at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Accounting, and Customer Operations.

You will own implementations from start to finish — understanding customer requirements, configuring the product, setting up workflows and integrations, troubleshooting issues, coordinating with Engineering/Product, and ensuring customers are successfully onboarded and operational.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving real customer problems, working with data and systems, understanding accounting workflows, and getting things across the finish line.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end implementation of the product for new and existing customers.
• Understand customer business processes, accounting workflows, and operational requirements.
• Configure customer/entity setups, workflows, recipes, rules, and product features based on business requirements.
• Work with accounting and finance teams to understand their requirements and translate them into product configurations.
• Set up and validate integrations with systems such as accounting platforms, POS systems, banking platforms, and other third-party systems.
• Investigate implementation issues, data discrepancies, integration failures, and workflow problems.
• Work closely with Engineering and Product teams to troubleshoot issues and drive them to resolution.
• Clearly communicate customer requirements, implementation blockers, and product gaps to internal teams.
• Coordinate across multiple stakeholders and ensure implementation tasks are completed on time.
• Test configurations and integrations end-to-end before customer rollout.
• Perform data validation and reconciliation to ensure the system is producing accurate results.
• Support customer/accounting teams during onboarding and transition them successfully to the product.
• Create implementation documentation, playbooks, and repeatable processes.
• Identify recurring customer problems and work with Product/Engineering to improve the product and implementation process.
• Provide feedback from customer implementations to help shape product improvements.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–6 years of experience in implementation, solutions engineering, technical consulting, customer success engineering, business systems, or a similar role.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Comfortable working directly with customers and internal technical teams.
• Ability to understand complex business processes and translate them into system configurations.
• Strong understanding of data, workflows, integrations, and APIs.
• Good understanding of accounting/finance concepts and workflows is highly preferred.
• Comfortable working with spreadsheets and data; SQL knowledge is a strong plus.
• Ability to investigate issues independently and identify the root cause rather than simply escalating problems.
• Strong ownership mindset — you take a problem from "this is broken" to "this is solved."
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where requirements can evolve.
• Ability to manage multiple customer implementations and prioritize effectively.

Good to Have

• Experience with accounting systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, or similar platforms.
• Experience working with POS systems such as Toast or similar platforms.
• Experience with banking/payment integrations.
• Experience working with REST APIs and integration troubleshooting.
• SQL/Postgres experience.
• Experience working with accounting data, reconciliations, journal entries, revenue, expenses, payouts, or financial reporting.
• Experience in SaaS implementation or B2B software.
• Experience working with Engineering/Product teams in a startup environment.

What This Role Is NOT

This is not a traditional software engineering role where your primary responsibility is writing application code.

You will work closely with Engineering, but your primary responsibility is to:

Understand → Configure → Implement → Validate → Troubleshoot → Deploy → Drive Adoption

You should be comfortable getting hands-on with the product, customer data, integrations, and workflows to solve problems.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

You will do well if you are someone who:

• Enjoys solving ambiguous problems.
• Can speak comfortably with both customers and engineers.
• Is technically curious and can understand how systems and integrations work.
• Doesn't wait for someone else to solve a problem.
• Can dig into data to find what is actually happening.
• Is comfortable working with accounting/finance teams.
• Enjoys taking ownership of implementations.
• Can balance customer requirements with product capabilities.
• Is willing to get hands-on and figure things out rather than simply following a checklist.

Why Join Us?

You will have significant ownership over how customers successfully adopt the product.

You will work across customers, accounting teams, Product, and Engineering, giving you exposure to both business and technology.

This role is a great opportunity for someone who wants to grow into a Solutions Engineer, Implementation Lead, Product Specialist, or Forward Deployed Engineer while working on real-world customer problems.

About the role

We are building AI systems that read, understand and act on real business documents, bank statements, financial reports, policy documents and forms and putting them into production where accuracy and cost both matters.

This is not a research role and it is not a prompt-writing role. You will own features end to end: pick and deploy open-source models, build the pipelines around them, measure whether they actually work on our documents, drive the cost per document down, and keep the whole thing running in production.

You will work closely with the engineering and product teams, and your work will be directly used by business users from day one.

What you will do

Deploy and evaluate open-source models

• Select, deploy and benchmark open-source LLMs and vision-language models for specific, narrow use cases not general chat.
• Build evaluation sets from real documents and define what "good" means numerically (field-level accuracy, extraction recall, hallucination rate) before shipping.
• Run structured comparisons between models and approaches, and write up the trade-offs so the team can make a decision.
• Apply quantization, batching and other optimizations to fit models into a sensible GPU budget.

Build and optimize AI orchestration

• Design multi-step pipelines that combine deterministic code, ML models and LLM calls and know when not to use an LLM.
• Optimize for latency, cost and reliability: caching, batching, request routing, fallback tiers, retries and graceful degradation.
• Instrument pipelines so failures are visible and traceable rather than silent.

Ship to production

• Package models and services with Docker, expose them behind clean APIs, and deploy them to our GPU and CPU infrastructure.
• Handle the unglamorous production concerns: cold starts, timeouts, concurrency limits, versioning, rollback and monitoring.
• Own on-call-style responsibility for the AI features you build, including cost tracking.

Must-have skills

Programming & engineering

• Strong Python: type hints, async/await, dataclasses/Pydantic, clean module design, testing.
• REST API development with FastAPI (or Flask/Django with a willingness to move to FastAPI).
• Git, code review discipline, and the ability to write code someone else can maintain.
• Comfortable in Linux and on the command line.

Machine learning fundamentals

• Working knowledge of PyTorch and the Hugging Face ecosystem (transformers, tokenizers, accelerate).
• Understanding of inference-time concepts: tokenization, context windows, batching, precision (FP16/BF16/INT8), memory footprint.
• Ability to read a model card and a paper well enough to judge whether a model fits a use case.

Document processing

• Hands-on experience with at least two of: pypdfium2, PyMuPDF, pdfplumber, pdfminer.six, Docling, Unstructured, Surya, DocTR, LayoutLM family.
• Practical OCR experience (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, or a cloud OCR) and an understanding of when OCR is the wrong tool.
• Experience extracting tables from PDFs and dealing with merged cells, multi-line rows, and inconsistent column layouts.

Strongly preferred

You will be a much stronger candidate with any of these. We do not expect all of them.

Model serving & optimization

• vLLM, TGI, Ollama, llama.cpp, or Triton Inference Server.
• Quantization formats and tooling: GGUF, AWQ, GPTQ, bitsandbytes, ONNX Runtime, INT8 export.
• Serverless GPU platforms: Modal, RunPod, Replicate, Baseten including cold-start and container-lifecycle management.
• LoRA / QLoRA fine-tuning with PEFT for narrow, task-specific improvements.

Vision-language models

• Practical use of open VLMs: Qwen2.5-VL, InternVL, Granite Vision, Molmo, Phi-Vision, or similar.
• Awareness of where VLMs hallucinate especially on numeric and financial content and patterns for constraining them (using the model for layout only, sourcing values from the text layer, constrained decoding).

Orchestration & pipelines

• Workflow orchestration: Dagster, Airflow, Prefect, or Temporal.
• Async job patterns: Celery, RQ, or platform-native spawn/poll patterns.
• LLM orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Haystack) with the judgement to know when plain Python is a better answer.
• Structured output enforcement: Instructor, Outlines, XGrammar, JSON schema / tool-use modes.

Evaluation & observability

• Building golden datasets and regression suites for extraction tasks.
• Eval tooling: promptfoo, DeepEval, Ragas, or in-house harnesses.
• LLM tracing and monitoring: Langfuse, Arize Phoenix, LangSmith, OpenTelemetry.

Nice extras

• Rule engines and policy evaluation (Open Policy Agent / Rego, Drools, rule-engine).
• Experience in fintech, lending, insurance or accounting documents.
• Handling of PII and data-security practices in document pipelines.
• Contributions to open-source ML or document-processing projects.

Why join us

• Real production ownership from month one your work goes to actual users, not a demo.
• Genuinely hard technical problems in document AI, not wrappers over an API.
• Small team, short decision cycles, direct access to leadership.
• Budget and freedom to evaluate and adopt new open-source models as they land.

To apply: send your CV along with a short note on one AI system you have taken to production what it did, what the accuracy was, and what broke.

Roles & Responsibilities

What you'll do

• Embed with enterprise customers to understand their business processes, systems landscape, and data. Translate that into concrete use cases for AI agents, automations, and applications.
• Build working solutions on the UnifyApps platform yourself, using the no-code builders, integrations, and data layer. Ship, iterate, and get to production.
• Own the technical and functional design of deployments across systems like Salesforce, Workday, SAP, ServiceNow, core banking and telecom stacks.
• Work with customer stakeholders from process owners up to CXOs. Run discovery workshops, demos, solution reviews, and go-live.
• Define success metrics for each deployment and hold the deployment to them.
• Feed patterns and gaps back to the core product and engineering teams. Turn repeated custom work into platform capability.
• Support pre-sales and pilot conversations where deep product depth is needed.
