About this role

Negotiate Ai is hiring for a Forward Deployed Engineer role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems end to end.
  • Real comfort working directly with customers, from scoping an ambiguous problem with a category manager to running a training session to answering a hard question from a chief procurement officer or CIO. You treat time…
  • Hands-on experience building with LLMs in production: agentic workflows, tool use, retrieval, structured outputs, and evaluation.
  • Strong backend and integration skills. API design, data pipelines, and working against systems whose documentation is wrong. Depth matters more to us than experience in any particular language.
  • Experience shipping against messy real-world data: cleaning, normalization, entity resolution, and establishing ground truth.
  • Judgment about what stays bespoke and what becomes product. Custom work is how we learn, but a deployment that only works for one customer is a liability.
  • Comfort with early-stage ambiguity: a small team, shifting priorities, and shipping before everything is fully specified.
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites, primarily manufacturing and industrial companies, roughly once or twice a month depending on the deployment.
