Forward Deployed AI Engineer

About Us SoulMynd.ai is a young, growing technology startup developing an AI-powered enterprise platform that enables organizations to interact with their data using natural language, explore and analyze information, and take action through custom AI agents. Alongside our platform, we design and build custom AI, data, automation and software solutions, combining deep technical expertise with hands-on engineering and enterprise implementation to bring advanced technology into real business operations. We're builders at heart. We love technology, we love figuring things out, and we get excited about turning complex business challenges into smart, practical solutions. Our work takes us across different technologies, systems and industries. From designing AI architectures and building intelligent automations to developing custom applications and integrating them into complex enterprise environments, we bring together business understanding, technical depth and hands-on execution. We're curious, ambitious and always looking for better ways to build things. And we're looking for people who think the same way. About the Role We're looking for a hands-on Forward Deployed AI Engineer who loves building technology, enjoys understanding business problems and wants to see their solutions working in the real world. You'll work directly with customers to understand their challenges, design the right technical approach and turn ideas into working solutions. This role brings together AI engineering, enterprise architecture and automation. You'll be involved throughout the entire process, from understanding the business problem and choosing the right technologies to hands-on development, integration, deployment and continuous improvement. We're looking for someone who enjoys moving between different worlds: business and technology, architecture and code, innovation and delivery. What You'll Do AI & Automation Engineering Design and develop AI-powered applications, intelligent automations, AI agents and multi-agent systems. Build LLM-based solutions using RAG, tool/function calling, MCP, embeddings and vector databases. Develop backend services, APIs and reusable components supporting AI applications. Evaluate and integrate AI models and technologies based on business and technical requirements. Enterprise AI Architecture & Infrastructure Design secure, scalable and production-ready AI architectures across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments, integrating with existing enterprise systems and infrastructure. Address enterprise requirements around security, data privacy, performance, reliability and governance. End-to-End Delivery Embed with customers to understand their workflows, constraints, and measures of success. Turn loosely defined operational problems into clear technical plans and production systems. Continuously explore new technologies and identify opportunities to improve our solutions and platform. What We're Looking For 2+ years of hands-on experience in software development, AI engineering or backend development. Strong programming skills in Python and experience developing backend services and APIs. Hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications using platforms such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini, alongside AI-assisted development tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot. Experience with AI frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex or AutoGen. Understanding of agentic architectures, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, tool calling and context engineering. Experience integrating enterprise systems using REST APIs, webhooks and databases (SQL/NoSQL). Familiarity with cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure or AWS. Understanding of production deployment, monitoring, security and operational considerations for enterprise applications. Ability to design and deliver scalable, reliable, end-to-end technical solutions. Strong business understanding, problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently. Good English communication skills and confidence working directly with customers. Strong Advantages Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP), AI tool integrations, LLMOps, AI evaluations, observability, tracing, guardrails and cost optimization. Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud-native deployment or DevOps. Background in IT infrastructure, System Administration, networking or cybersecurity. Familiarity with enterprise identity and security technologies such as Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, SSO, IAM and RBAC. Experience with private AI infrastructure, self-hosted LLMs or on-premises model deployment. Experience with automation platforms such as n8n or Make. Why Join SoulMynd.ai? We're a small, ambitious and growing startup, and we like it that way. You'll work on real challenges with real customers, across a wide range of technologies. One day you might be building an AI agent, the next integrating AI into a complex enterprise environment or designing something completely new. You'll have the freedom to explore, the responsibility to deliver and the opportunity to shape what we build and how we build it. We value curiosity, creativity, ownership and people who love both understanding business problems and getting their hands dirty building solutions. We're builders. If you are too, we'd love to meet you. Show more Show less
