Forward Deployed AI Engineer for Enterprise Supply Chain

Moonshot Factory; Mountain View (CA); On-site; USD 197,000 - 285,000; Full time

Job summary

X, Alphabet’s moonshot factory, is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to drive on-the-ground implementation of our Enterprise AI products in Mountain View. You’ll work directly with customers, IT teams and end-users to deliver AI-native capabilities that transform global supply chains.

This hands-on role requires architecting integrations, building data pipelines, and coding customer-specific adaptations while collaborating with Platform Engineering.

Qualifications

• BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or equivalent highly technical practical experience.
• 6+ years in customer-facing engineering or forward deployed roles, with a proven track record of owning hands-on technical delivery, system integrations, and implementation of AI or sophisticated SaaS.
• Practical experience with prompt engineering, building agentic workflows, and wiring up LLMs to external systems (via function calling, APIs, or MCPs) to solve complex reasoning, routing, and automation tasks in production.
• Production-grade Python or TypeScript for complex system integration, building bidirectional data pipelines to sync data and systematically strangle messy legacy systems.
• Demonstrated ability to own high-stakes technical deployments from end to end, driving rapid engineering decisions and aligning a variety of stakeholders.
• High agency in environments with high velocity, ambiguity, and minimal supervision.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end technical deployment of our Enterprise AI products, acting as the definitive on-site engineering authority to deliver AI-native capabilities that transform global supply chains.
• Architect and build technical integrations, connecting or entirely replacing legacy enterprise systems via robust bi-directional data pipelines, APIs, and agent-to-agent communication.
• Navigate complex enterprise IT environments to deploy our AI platform, orchestrating rollouts across diverse cloud, hybrid, and agentic architectures to get our software live and into users' hands.
• Partner directly with clients, end-users, and IT on the ground to translate messy operational supply chain realities into concrete engineering tasks and AI-native workflows.
• Code immediate, customer-specific product adaptations, balancing rapid hands-on execution with active Platform Engineering collaboration to shape core capabilities using field realities.
• Proactively clear technical, security, and adoption hurdles, extensively leveraging AI alongside client IT teams to debottleneck the deployment process and rapidly accelerate rollout.
• Codify field solutions into reusable deployment playbooks and software blocks, bridging high-agency on-site execution with scalable core platform engineering rather than delivering one-off tweaks.
