Reflectionâs mission is to build open superintelligence and make it accessible to all.
Weâre developing open weight models for individuals, agents, enterprises, and even nation states. Our team of AI researchers and company builders come from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Brain, Meta, Character.AI, Anthropic and beyond.
Weâre looking for a core member of Reflectionâs Applied AI team to drive our Forward Deployed Engineering efforts with enterprise customers. This team works hands-on to translate advanced AI research into high-impact, real-world applications. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will own the technical strategy and delivery of agentic systems from initial customer discovery through production launch.
Partner with Deployment Strategists and Sales to understand enterprise customer needs, architect solutions, and develop transformative agentic applications.
Build agentic systems using state-of-the-art models, orchestrating LLM workflows, integrating with enterprise infrastructure, and deploying reliable production systems.
Collaborate with research teams to adapt and fine-tune models for customer-specific needs.
Support end-to-end deployments across hybrid environments (public cloud, VPC, and on-premises), helping ensure scalability, performance, and reliability in production.
Contribute to evolving playbooks, processes, and best practices as part of a growing Forward Deployed Engineering organization.
Strong software engineering background with experience shipping production-grade systems (Python, Typescript)
Proven track record of deploying enterprise software in cloud or hybrid environments using modern DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD).
Deep understanding of machine learning concepts and hands-on experience with modern AI stacks, including vector databases, RAG pipelines, agent orchestration, evaluations, and fine-tuning.
3+ years of software engineering experience delivering AI-driven enterprise solutions (e.g., Forward Deployed Engineer, Software Engineer, or Applied AI Engineer).
Demonstrated ability and interest to work in customer-facing environments, understanding user needs, architecting solutions for real business problems, and delivering tangible outcomes.
Self-starter with high agency and ownership, excelling in fast-paced startup environments where playbooks are still being written.
We believe that to build superintelligence that is truly open, you need to start at the foundation. Joining Reflection means building from the ground up as part of a small talent-dense team. You will help define our future as a company, and help define the frontier of open foundational models.
We want you to do the most impactful work of your career with the confidence that you and the people you care about most are supported.
Top-tier compensation: Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain the best talent globally.
Health & wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
