Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

📍 Switzerland - Zurich

Role and responsibilities

Design and build AI agents and experiences that take real actions for real organisations — owning technical components end-to-end from architecture choice through to deployed, validated, and observable in production, including agent intelligence design, prompts, reasoning, tool calls, and integration with customer systems. Build and integrate data pipelines on Salesforce Data Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, and customer data platforms, and maintain agent performance dashboards and customer Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting to track deployment health and business outcomes. Contribute to and help lead Proofs of Concept (PoC) and Minimum Viable Products (MVP) that move from concept to deployable in days — co-building alongside customers and partners and sharing best practices as you go. Surface platform gaps, edge cases, and field insights to senior engineers and product teams — partnering with the Deployment Strategist in your pod to translate customer business challenges into agentic solutions that actually ship.
