Job summary

Prentis is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to deploy autonomous AI agents into real enterprise workflows. You’ll map messy processes, build agentic systems with tool use, planning, and memory, and own production reliability end-to-end.

You’ll work directly with customers to design scalable integrations (Slack/Jira/Salesforce/ServiceNow/SQL/SharePoint), implement HITL controls, and collaborate with the founding team on roadmap and deployment playbooks for production-grade results.

Qualifications

• Proof you’ve shipped agentic systems: built and deployed at least one system with tool use + planning + state/memory + reliability mechanisms (work or OSS).
• Experience with evaluation of LLM/agent behavior (task suites, regression tests, acceptance metrics).
• Strong software engineering fundamentals (Python and/or TypeScript), API integrations, and systems thinking.

Responsibilities

• Design and build agentic systems with tool calling, planning/execution loops, state/memory, and HITL controls.
• Implement reliability mechanisms: retries, timeouts, checkpointing, idempotency, and safe failure modes.
• Build enterprise integrations (Slack/Jira/Salesforce/ServiceNow/SQL/SharePoint/knowledge bases), including auth, permissions, and auditability.
• Create evaluation and monitoring systems: offline regression suites, dataset replay, and production quality/cost/latency dashboards.
• Debug real failures in production: non-determinism, flaky tools, prompt regressions, partial outages, and “agent got stuck” scenarios.
• Collaborate with the founding team to shape product roadmap, technical strategy, and deployment playbooks.
