About the Role

We're hiring an AI Deployment Engineer to join a small, high-autonomy team building the internal tools and AI-powered systems that make Valon's client deployments successful.

This is not a traditional software engineering role. You'll operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and client delivery — building whatever is needed to make deployments run smoothly. One week you're standing up a project tracking dashboard; the next you're integrating AI agents into client workflows; the week after you're building admin tooling so deployment leads can manage teams and forecasts.

To give you a sense of pace and scope: building a full deployment management platform — kanban boards, Gantt views, milestone tracking, AI-powered inbox scanning, team dashboards — in six weeks is the kind of output we expect from this role.

What You'll Do

• Build deployment tooling end-to-end — Design, build, and ship internal applications that help Valon manage complex client deployments. You'll own the full stack from data layer to UI.
• Ship AI-powered features — Build AI agent workflows, copilot experiences, and automation tools that make deployment teams more effective. Think: intelligent inbox scanning, cross-reference extraction, AI-assisted planning.
• Move fast with AI-assisted development — Use coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) as pair programmers to maintain high velocity. We expect you to ship meaningful features daily, not weekly.
• Work across the stack — Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, API integrations. You don't need to know all of these coming in, but you need to learn fast and build confidently across layers.
• Operate with high autonomy — You'll have broad ownership over what you build and how. No one will hand you detailed specs — you'll identify problems, design solutions, and ship them.

Who You Are

• 1–5 years of engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to ship complete products (not just features within a larger codebase)
• Full-stack web development chops — strong in React/TypeScript; comfortable building APIs, managing data layers, and crafting polished UIs
• AI-fluent — you actively use coding agents in your development workflow and have built AI-powered features (agent workflows, RAG systems, copilot UX, or similar)
• Extremely high velocity — you're the person who builds a working prototype while others are still writing the design doc
• Comfortable with ambiguity — you thrive when given a problem, not a solution, and can turn vague requirements into shipped software
• Strong product instincts — you build things people actually want to use, with attention to UX details like drag-and-drop, inline editing, and responsive layouts

Nice to Have

• Experience at early-stage startups or as a technical founder
• Forward-deployed engineering background (Palantir, Anduril, Scale AI, or similar)
• Familiarity with project management / deployment tracking domains
• Experience building on Airtable, Notion, or similar low-code backends

What Won’t Work

• Engineers who need detailed specs and defined scope before they can start building
• Candidates who are strong backend but uncomfortable building polished frontends
• People who talk about AI but haven't built with it
• Anyone uncomfortable working solo with high ownership and minimal oversight

Benefits

• Competitive salary + equity (Series C stage)
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• Commuter benefits
• Flexible PTO
• 12 weeks paid parental leave
• Quarterly team events

Compensation Range: $130K - $200K
