[Hiring] Forward Deployed Engineer @Redapt

Role Description

Redapt is building dedicated capacity to design, deploy, and optimize agentic AI solutions for clients. We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer: a technical, client-facing builder who can turn AI capabilities into working production systems inside customer environments. This role blends an embedded, hands-on delivery model with the broader technical advisory work Redapt clients need to get real ROI from AI investments.

• Write production Python code.
• Explain technical tradeoffs in plain language to clients.
• Help customers and internal Redapt teams get more value out of existing AI workloads.
• Combine embedded delivery with elements of technical advisory work, such as token and model optimization, AI security, and workload ROI.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in a technical, client-facing role such as forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, or consulting with a software engineering background.
• Strong Python skills, with experience shipping production code, not just prototypes or notebooks.
• Hands-on production experience with LLMs, including:
  • Agent development
  • Evaluation
  • Deployment at scale
• Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly and credibly with clients, including in live, in-person settings.
• Working knowledge of Azure Foundry, AWS Bedrock, OpenAI/Codex and the Anthropic/Claude platform (Claude API, tool use, Claude Code, or similar).
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and owning a technical engagement end-to-end.

Requirements

• Embed directly with client teams to design, build, and ship production applications and integrations built on Claude models.
• Write and maintain production-quality Python code for AI integrations, agent workflows, and internal tooling.
• Set up and configure agentic harnesses (including Azure Foundry, AWS Bedrock, Claude Cowork-style deployments).
• Codify repeatable deployment patterns from client engagements.
• Present findings, architecture options, and recommendations directly to client stakeholders.
• Build durable, trusted relationships with client technical and business stakeholders.
• Work with internal teams to assess existing AI workloads and identify opportunities to improve ROI.
• Advise clients and internal Redapt teams on token optimization and model selection.
• Evaluate and tune model configuration and prompting strategy.
• Identify AI security considerations and build these into deployment recommendations.

Benefits

• Travel typically 5% or less a year.
