Job description

Hands-on with LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG and building AI agents/integrations—directly applies AI tooling for fast prototyping and customer demos.

Role

Forward Deployed Engineer working with pre- and post-sales Customer Experience to design, develop, and deploy solutions on top of the core platform (DevRev). The role focuses on building a Knowledge Graph and integrations that connect customers’ tech stacks via APIs, webhooks, and real-time architectures, and on applying AI and analytics to customer workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Customer-facing engagement (~30%) including live technical demos, workshops, and requirements gathering.
• Hands-on coding and integration (~70-80%): design, develop, and launch AI agents, integrations, and automations.
• Build and maintain integrations between DevRev and SaaS/non-SaaS systems using APIs, webhooks, and event-driven architectures.
• Optimize AI performance through prompt engineering, semantic search tuning, RAG and function-calling approaches, and building evals to validate agents.
• Write SQL queries, perform data analysis, and build dashboards to surface actionable insights.
• Rapid prototyping and iteration: create proofs-of-concept and refine solutions based on customer feedback.
• Lead cross-functional collaboration with engineering, product, customer success, support, and revenue teams.
• Guide customers through technical adoption including repository integrations and advanced configurations.
• Travel up to 80% for on-site implementations, technical workshops, and customer engagements.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software development, systems integration, or platform engineering.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Applied AI knowledge: familiarity with large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, RAG, function calling, and building evals for agent validation.
• Integration expertise with large-scale data synchronization, API integration patterns (REST, GraphQL, webhooks), and event-driven/pub-sub architectures.
• Cloud and deployment experience with serverless and edge platforms (e.g., AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions), containers, CI/CD, and observability practices.
• Data skills: SQL, data mapping, schema alignment, data modeling, and experience with graph data structures.
• Experience implementing logging, error surfacing, and telemetry for observability and debugging.
• Familiarity with Model Context Programming (MCP) or context-aware system design is a plus.
• Strong documentation, written and verbal communication skills, and ability to triage and unblock technical and non-technical issues.

Other Notes

• Shortlisted candidates will undergo Background Verification (BGV).
• Role requires significant travel readiness (up to 80%).
