Descrizione del lavoro

As a Forward Deployment Architect, you will serve as a hands-on senior technical architect on the Applied AI Engineering team, owning the end-to-end design and delivery of AI-driven business transformation projects. You'll work closely with pre-sales teams to scope technical integration and implementation strategies, translating business requirements into architectural solutions. Once opportunities move to post-sales, you'll own the detailed technical designs from original scoping documents and drive execution, including hands-on coding to build proofs-of-concept, custom integrations, and solution prototypes that validate technical feasibility.

As the technical owner of the customer relationship, you'll partner cross-collaboratively to ensure successful delivery. Your role spans from understanding domain-specific customer needs to architecting scalable, agent-based AI solutions using DevRev's platform, with direct involvement in implementing key technical components and debugging complex integration challenges. This position requires a unique blend of enterprise architecture expertise, AI solution design, hands-on development skills, customer empathy, and cross-functional collaboration. You'll act as the connective tissue between pre-sales, customer success, engineering, and product teams, bringing our AI capabilities to life for real-world business impact.

Responsibilities:

• Customer-facing: 20-40% working directly with customers.
• Design and Deploy AI Agents: Build, configure, and launch intelligent agents using the DevRev platform to solve real customer problems.
• Integrate Systems: Connect AI agents with external platforms (e. g., CRMs, APIs, databases) for seamless workflow automation.
• Optimize Performance: Tune prompts, logic, and agent configurations for accuracy, reliability, and scalability.
• Own Requirements: Partner with customers to deeply understand their needs and translate them into technical agent specifications.
• Prototype and Iterate: Lead live demos, build rapid proof-of-concepts, and refine solutions through customer feedback.
• Lead Execution: Define project plans, align internal teams, and ensure timely delivery of deployments.
• Advise Customers: Act as a trusted technical advisor on AI agent architecture, performance, and long-term scalability.

Requirements:

• Experience: 5+ years in software development, AI/ML engineering, or technical consulting. Customer-facing experience is a plus.
• Background: Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field.
• Coding Skills: Strong proficiency using TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, data structures, and algorithms (Nice to have: Go).
• Applied AI Knowledge: Large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, frameworks like RAG and function calling, and building evals to validate agentic AI solutions.
• Cloud and DevOps: Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, and modern DevOps practices (CI/CD, containers, observability).
• System Integration: Comfortable integrating systems via APIs, webhooks, and event/data pipelines.
• Data-Driven Mindset: Use A/B testing, telemetry, and metrics to guide decisions and drive improvements.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal skills to articulate technical concepts to both engineers and business stakeholders.
• Customer Empathy: A bias for action and a relentless focus on solving problems for customers.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline. Advanced degrees or certifications in AI/architecture frameworks (e. g., TOGAF, SAFe) are a plus.
