Mimica; United States; Remote; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Mimica is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Intelligent Automation team. You'll embed with enterprise customers, turning process and task-mining insights into working automations and getting them into production fast.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing role focused on agentic AI using frontier models like Claude, Gemini and GPT, integrated with GCP and RPA. You will lead and mentor developers, shaping best practices.

Qualifications

• Software engineering, automation engineering, or technical consulting experience, including at least 3 years delivering automation for enterprise clients.

Responsibilities

• Own customer deployments end to end – from discovery and solution design through build, testing, go-live and hypercare.
• Turn process insights into automations – use process and task-mining data to find, size and prioritize the highest-value opportunities.
• Design and build agentic AI solutions – create AI agents that reason, call tools and act across enterprise systems, using models such as Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google) and GPT (OpenAI).
• Pick the right model and pattern for the job – compare models on accuracy, cost, latency, and data-privacy needs, and choose between agents, LLM steps, RPA, or plain code.
• Make AI reliable in production – build evaluation sets, guardrails, human-in-the-loop checkpoints and monitoring so agents behave predictably at enterprise scale.
• Build hybrid automation solutions – orchestrate AI agents, RPA bots, document AI and custom Python services into end-to-end workflows.
• Integrate with enterprise systems – connect ERPs, CRMs, ticketing tools and legacy apps through APIs, MCP servers, connectors and UI automation.
• Build and run on Google Cloud – deploy agents, services and pipelines on GCP using Vertex AI, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, BigQuery and Pub/Sub, following our GCP architecture and security standards.
• Lead and mentor Intelligent Automation developers – guide developers through design and code reviews, pairing and coaching; help them adopt agentic AI and engineering best practices.
• Be the technical face to the customer – run workshops with business and IT stakeholders, explain trade-offs, and build trust with operations leaders.
• Ship production-grade work – work in Git (branching, pull requests, code reviews) with automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, exception handling, and security practices that meet enterprise standards.
• Measure and prove value – track hours saved, error rates, and throughput, and present ROI to customer sponsors.
• Close the loop with product – feed field insights, reusable components, and feature requests back to Product and Engineering, and help shape our delivery playbook.
