About the Role

We are looking for an AI Field Engineer (Enterprise) with 3+ years of experience to embed with ambitious enterprise customers and turn complex GenAI challenges into production systems—fast.

You'll combine deep hands-on engineering with the executive presence to earn trust across large organizations and help drive engagements from initial technical discovery through production deployment.

What You'll Do

• Lead technical discovery calls, scope proof-of-concepts, and run load tests and evaluations to validate the right model architecture and deployment configuration for enterprise customers.

• Build end-to-end POCs and production integrations directly inside customer environments while navigating infrastructure, security requirements, and organizational constraints.

• Guide customers on model selection, fine-tuning strategies (SFT, DPO, RFT), and evaluation frameworks to move from experimentation to production at scale.

• Manage relationships across multiple enterprise stakeholders, identifying technical champions and helping align teams to move projects forward efficiently.

• Provide recurring customer feedback and deployment insights to the engineering organization to help shape future product development.

Required Qualifications

• Deep hands-on experience with LLM inference and/or training.

• Working knowledge of open-model frameworks such as:

• vLLM

• SGLang

• TensorRT-LLM

• Experience with fine-tuning workflows:

• SFT required

• DPO and/or RFT strongly preferred

• Candidates whose experience is limited to closed-model API integrations alone will not be a fit.

• Proven ability to build and deploy production code within customer environments, including POCs or MVPs running in production.

• Strong Python programming skills.

• Experience with GPU infrastructure.

• Experience using AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Experience with Kubernetes.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and executive audiences.

• Customer-facing engineering experience in roles such as:

• Field Engineer

• Applied AI Engineer

• Solutions Architect

• AI Infrastructure Engineer

• ML Engineer

• Software Engineer with pre-sales exposure

• 3+ years of relevant experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with DPO or reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT).

• Experience deploying enterprise-scale GenAI applications.

• Experience working directly with production AI infrastructure.

• Interest in contributing to product direction based on customer feedback.

• Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-growth environments with significant ownership.

Technical Environment

• Python

• vLLM

• SGLang

• TensorRT-LLM

• Kubernetes

• AWS

• Azure

• GCP

• Azure AI Foundry

• AWS Bedrock

• AWS SageMaker

• GCP Vertex AI

• GPU Infrastructure

• Open-source LLM Frameworks

• LLM Fine-Tuning (SFT, DPO, RFT)

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $176,000 – $224,000

• On-Target Earnings: $220,000 – $280,000 (80/20 base/variable split)

• Quarterly variable compensation based on individual and team performance

• Compensation may exceed the posted range for candidates with extensive experience.

• Meaningful equity package.

Visa Sponsorship

Visa sponsorship is available.

• H-1B transfers

• TN visas

• O-1 visas considered on a case-by-case basis
