Forward Deployed AI Engineer
Lunon, Remote (US)
The role
As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you will decide how intelligence enters a company's product: which model, adapted how, proven by what evidence, and at what cost.
You will work alongside a Forward Deployed Data Engineer, who owns the data foundation. Your first project: helping an ERP company make its product AI-native.
What you will do
- Choose the right model for each problem, from frontier APIs to open-weight models, and know when fine-tuning outperforms a better prompt
- Fine-tune where it pays off: supervised fine-tuning, preference optimization, and parameter-efficient methods such as LoRA
- Design the evaluations and benchmarks that show whether a change made things better
- Take models from training to serving, balancing cost, latency, and quality
- Work with the company's team to find where AI will change their results most, and decline work that won't repay the effort
