Forward Deployed Engineer

The Applied AI Engineering team ensures our customers get the optimal experience from DevRev. As customers go through their DevRev journey, they may identify needs for integration with existing enterprise systems and services, workflow and process automation, or customization of the DevRev platform to achieve their business objectives. Our team works with customers to understand requirements and design, develop, and implement solutions to meet customer goals.

Your mission is to systematically help customers find value with DevRev by developing a thorough understanding of their needs, owning coordination between internal and external stakeholders, and engineering the solution to get the job done. You are a product expert and will use your application development and AI/ML skills to ensure our customers get the most out of the DevRev platform.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer at DevRev, you will work closely with our post-sales Customer Experience team to help customers unlock value through AI. You will design and deploy intelligent agents, automated workflows, and integrations that transform how customers operate — connecting DevRev to their broader ecosystem and putting AI to work across their most important business processes. Where needed, you will build custom applications and solutions in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and related languages to bring these experiences to life.

You will employ your creativity and technical expertise to ideate and shape how AI, analytics, and workflows are used in customers’ processes. You are a product expert focused on implementation — building, shipping, and iterating to ensure customers get the most out of the DevRev platform.
