The Forward Deployed Engineer joins the Engineering team to bridge the gap between core product development and specific customer needs within the enterprise finance space. This role involves building proof-of-value prototypes during the pre-sale cycle and deploying production-ready AI Agents to automate complex accounting processes post-sale. You will architect customer-specific configurations, perform deep technical troubleshooting, and lead high-impact transformation engagements with finance leaders. Key technical requirements include proficiency with Python, SQL, REST APIs, GraphQL, and webhooks. You must demonstrate deep experience with agentic AI workflows using LangChain, LangGraph, and RAG, alongside familiarity with LLMs from OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic. The role solves the challenge of integrating AI into real-world general ledgers to remove manual work and strengthen internal controls.
