At Invisible Technologies, we operate at the intersection of advanced AI and human ingenuity. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to work directly with clients and internal teams to build and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how work gets done. You will own projects end-to-end, from scoping ambiguous problems to deploying scalable systems.
What You'll Do
- Collaborate with delivery leaders to scope technical solutions to operational problems.
- Identify workflow optimizations through deep engagement with customer problems and build them into stable and scalable solutions.
- Design and implement AI-powered workflows using LLMs, embedding models, retrieval systems, and automation tools.
- Translate messy real-world constraints (e.g., inconsistent data, latency requirements) into elegant engineering solutions.
- Iterate quickly based on real-time feedback from operators and clients.
- Build reusable tooling and infrastructure that accelerates future deployments.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering or ML engineering.
- Strong Python skills and familiarity with libraries like PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, or OpenAI APIs.
- Solid understanding of data pipelines, APIs, and production deployment (e.g., Docker, FastAPI, GCP/AWS).
- Experience building usable systems from messy data and ambiguous requirements.
- Strong communication skills — you can explain technical decisions to delivery teams and client stakeholders.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working in fast-moving, unstructured environments.
- Be willing to be on-call for our customers when situations arise.
- Ability to travel roughly 25–50% of the time, sometimes short-notice trips—primarily across North America with occasional international roll-outs—to work directly on-site with clients.
- Strong engineering background demonstrated by a Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science and related fields OR equivalent professional experience.
Technical Stack
- Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI APIs
- Docker, FastAPI, GCP, AWS
Benefits & Compensation
- Salary: $182,000 - $203,300 USD (Tier 1 location) + equity: Included in offers above entry level.
