Forward Deployed Engineer

Join DataSnipper as a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, where you'll work directly with customers to build and refine AI agents that automate audit and finance workflows. This hands-on, customer-facing role requires technical literacy with data and documents, excellent communication skills, and a bias toward shipping and iterating. You'll have the opportunity to shape DataSnipper's professional services offering and mentor incoming team members as the function scales.

Embedd with customers to build and refine AI agents that automate audit and finance workflows.

Responsibilities

• Design and build agents, debug their accuracy in front of customers, and ensure engineering hears what you saw.
• Operate a tight feedback loop between the customer and product/engineering teams to address issues and feature gaps.
• Technical literacy with data and documents, enough to configure them correctly and reason about what is going wrong

Requirements

• The ability to do this in front of customers, under time pressure, without losing their confidence when something breaks
• Comfortable using a variety of AI tools like Claude in the build and test loop to move quickly
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to make a customer need legible to engineering
• Strong technical aptitude and structured thinking, with the judgment to decompose a customer workflow into agents and decide quickly what is feasible and what is not
• Domain expertise in audit and/or finance or strong interest w/ ability to learn
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs in practice: writing and refining prompts, evaluating accuracy, and debugging non-deterministic behavior
• Familiarity with agent design patterns, evals, or AI observability
• Experience with document processing and spreadsheet-heavy workflows

Preferred

• Bias toward shipping and iterating rather than perfecting in isolation, and willingness to travel to customer sites when an engagement calls for it
• Prior Forward Deployed Engineer, solutions engineering, or implementation experience at an applied AI or enterprise software company
