About the role
We're hiring a Founding Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with enterprise customers to deploy, tune, and scale Arist's AI agents—making them work brilliantly in the context of each customer's organization.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, AI, and customer outcomes. You'll embed with customers post-implementation to ensure our AI-driven needs analysis and agentic experiences deliver real, measurable value—not just a successful launch.
For large enterprise deals where we're selling consulting-level AI services, you may also deploy from the very beginning alongside the customer's team to design and stand up agentic workflows from day one.
If you've been a principal or lead solutions engineer and are looking for a step up in scope, ownership, and impact—especially at the frontier of applied AI—this role is designed for you.
What You'll Do
1. Make AI Agents Work for Customers
- Work directly with customers post-implementation to deploy, configure, and optimize Arist's AI agents in their environment.
- Gather and map the right datasets so AI outputs are accurate, safe, and relevant to each customer's context.
- Define and apply guardrails that balance flexibility with trust and data integrity.
- Iterate with customer stakeholders until the experience feels native to their organization—and just works.
2. Deploy Agentic Workflows for Strategic Accounts
- For large deals where Arist is selling consulting-level AI services, embed with the customer from the start to design and stand up agentic workflows.
- Act as a hands-on technical partner—understanding the customer's organizational context, data landscape, and business goals to build AI experiences that deliver measurable outcomes.
- Bridge the gap between what AI can do and what the customer actually needs it to do.
