Job summary

DeepInfra seeks a hands-on Forward Deployed Engineer to partner withSales, engineering, and customers on rigorous evals and end-to-end deployments. You will run head-to-head bake-offs, tune deployments on modern hardware, and craft reusable assets that speed future deals.

You’ll own the technical win from first call through production, shaping GTM readiness and enterprise-facing narratives with both technical and procurement stakeholders in mind.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical win and the POC timeline, working closely with Sales and Engineering, from call one.
• Design and run reproducible benchmark harnesses (TTFT, ITL, throughput/GPU, p95/p99) and quality-parity evals.
• Run head-to-head bake-offs against leading AI providers — and win them.
• Tune model-to-hardware deployments on B200/B300/GB300 NVL72.
• Build cost-per-token models and write migration plans.
• Handle enterprise security and compliance review, and get deployments to launch readiness.
• Own account health post-signature, driving usage reviews and expansion.
• Turn what you learn into reusable benchmark reports, reference architectures, and AE enablement material.
