About the job
As a Senior Forward-Deployed Engineer on the Professional Services team, you will embed with developer teams at strategic enterprise customers to lead frontend migrations, performance work, and production AI builds. Success looks like production code live in customer environments, customer teams able to extend it on their own, and a wider partnership with each account. This is a remote role open to candidates in the US, with occasional travel to customer sites.
Responsibilities
- Build production AI agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and agentic workflows with the AI SDK and the eve framework inside customer environments.
- Lead migrations of legacy React, Vue, and other frontends to Next.js, including Pages Router to App Router, and automate repeatable steps.
- Audit customer codebases for performance bottlenecks and architectural anti-patterns, then deliver roadmaps with measurable improvements, including answer engine optimization (AEO) and search engine optimization (SEO).
- Architect and ship high-performance Next.js applications with App Router, Server Components, streaming, and incremental static regeneration (ISR).
- Run workshops and pair programming sessions so customer teams can maintain shipped code and share repeatable patterns with Product and Engineering.
Requirements
- 6+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years in a customer-facing technical role (consulting, solutions architecture, forward-deployed engineering, or technical founder).
- Shipped production TypeScript applications on Next.js and React, including a legacy-to-Next.js migration, or built and deployed production LLM agents with human-in-the-loop patterns and sandboxed execution.
- Built and deployed web applications, backend systems, or agentic workflows using AI coding tools such as harnesses, skills, and MCP servers.
- Presented technical discovery findings and proposals to executives at enterprise customers, and mentored other engineers.
Benefits
- Total compensation package includes benefits and equity-based compensation.
