Client-Embedded AI Engineer (Forward Deployed)

Venn; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 200,000 - 400,000; Full time

Job summary

Venn is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to embed inside an enterprise client as their AI transformation partner. You’ll work with operations, marketing, and finance to identify critical pain points and ship near real-time solutions on top of Venn’s platform.

Think of it as a startup CTO inside a large organization: define what matters, build it, ship it, and own the outcome with support from Venn’s data and engineering teams. Some travel to client sites is required.

Qualifications

• You've scoped and built products from 0 to 1 in ambiguous environments.
• You've built or deployed systems powered by LLMs or generative models and understand how model behaviour affects product experience.
• You simplify complexity and make fast, sound decisions under pressure.
• You communicate clearly with engineers, product teams, and customer stakeholders.
• You spot risks early and adjust without slowing down.
• Ability to travel up to 25% to work on-site with clients.

Responsibilities

• Embed with the client. Go deep on their organization, stakeholders, tech stack, and business model to find where the highest-value problems lie, and win trust fast by solving the most urgent one first.
• Build and ship independently. Design, build, and release solutions end-to-end on top of Venn's platform and the client's centralized data.
• Shape the roadmap. Work directly with client stakeholders to decide what gets built first, second, and third, then execute it yourself.
• Own the outcome. Bring your learnings to the product team and scale your solutions beyond the first client.
