By embedding in real-world complexity, we deliver fast, iterate with purpose, and transform every success into reusable patterns that accelerate transformation across the Now Platform and the broader enterprise.Why This Role Matters:Enterprises are raising the bar. AI initiatives must deliver business value—not just promise potential. That means taking cutting-edge LLM capabilities and turning them into resilient, secure, and scalable software.As a Forward Deployed Solution Engineer (FDSE), you act as the CTO of the build—owning everything from backend services to LLM pipelines and front-end integrations. You partner with customers in the field to design, implement, and deliver solution-ready builds in agile sprints. Your software becomes the reference implementation for scalable GenAI in the enterprise. You codify patterns, shape internal tooling, and accelerate innovation—delivering systems that are battle-tested in production and scalable across industries.Who You Are:You are a systems-minded, AI-native engineer who ships real software. You own the full stack—and are equally motivated by elegant APIs, intuitive UIs, and scalable orchestration pipelines. You think like a product-minded CTO, balancing creativity with pragmatism to deliver impact.You embed deeply with customer teams, diagnose root problems, and architect AI-powered workflows that run at scale. You don't just debug code—you debug systems, context, and customer pain points.You will:Build solution-ready LLM-enabled applications that span backend logic, data orchestration, and front-end UIOperate in the field, working side-by-side with customers to adapt, deploy, and iterate in live environmentsCodify reusable assets—libraries, prompts, scaffolds—to accelerate future engagementsShape developer experience by sharing feedback with platform and product teamsWhat You'll Do:Deliver Production - readysolution in agile end-to-end sprintsEngineer with versatility: APIs, orchestration pipelines, vector DBs, LLM frameworks, UI componentsOperate with agility: integrate with legacy systems, navigate ambiguity, ship safely at speedCodify patterns: build scaffolds, SDKs, and documentation to scale success across customersInfluence platform: inform product strategy through field-tested insights and extensible codeWhat Success Looks Like:Production-grade delivery: Your solution builds consistently convert to scaled deployments in production environmentsReusable impact: You author libraries, prompts, and scaffolds that power multiple deployments and projectsPlatform influence: Your work shapes internal tooling and is integrated into platform roadmap and primitivesVelocity and precision: You move fast without breaking things—shaping resilient, secure systems in high-stakes contextsEngineering leadership: You are trusted by architects, PMs, and customer teams to lead implementation from zero to oneQualificationsWhat You Bring:Experience: In leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving.
