Job summary

1mind AI Inc. is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineering Lead to define how our products land inside customer environments.

You will act as the anchor engineer on our flagship deployment, then scale the motion across the customer base, building playbooks, tooling, and reusable patterns for rapid, reliable deployments. This senior, hands-on role requires deep frontend experience, familiarity with modern frameworks, and comfort working with AI orchestration layers to tailor solutions for each

Qualifications

• Significant hands-on front-end engineering experience building and shipping production web applications.
• Deep production experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, or Svelte).
• Production experience with UI automation tooling: Playwright, Puppeteer, or Chrome DevTools Protocol.
• Working knowledge of AI/LLM systems — prompting, retrieval, and orchestration.
• Proven ability to ramp quickly on unfamiliar web applications and operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-moving customer environments.
• Strong customer-facing communication skills; comfortable leading technical conversations with customer engineering teams.
• Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end forward deployments of 1mind’s products — from technical scoping and system design through production rollout inside customer web environments.
• Ramp rapidly on unfamiliar web applications, tracing and debugging HTML/DOM and rendering issues across static, server-rendered, and client-rendered architectures.
• Build and maintain robust UI automation using Playwright, Puppeteer, and Chrome DevTools Protocol to drive reliable agent behavior across desktop and mobile, and across Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, Safari/WebKit, and Edge.
• Work hands‑on with the AI orchestration layer — prompts, retrieval, and agent configuration — to tune Superhuman behavior for each customer’s product and workflows.
• Serve as the senior technical partner to customer engineering teams: run technical discovery, translate business needs into deployment plans, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Codify what works into repeatable playbooks, internal tooling, and documentation that make every subsequent deployment faster.
• Feed deployment insights back into the product roadmap, working closely with engineering and product leadership.
