Job Title: AI Engineer (Forward Deployed) — Full-Stack
Location-Type: Remote — North America, with travel as needed

Duration: 6 months, contract-to-hire
Compensation Range: $95/hr – $115/hr W2

Job Description:
Build and deploy a greenfield, full-stack agentic AI product that enables non-technical commercial users to incorporate LLM-powered workflows into their day-to-day work.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end development of a production AI application across Python backend and React frontend.

• Design and build agentic LLM workflows, RAG pipelines, tool integrations, and structured AI outputs.

• Develop solutions within Palantir Foundry and AIP, including data, ontology, and AI-driven workflow integrations.

• Translate ambiguous business requirements into scalable technical solutions and production-ready features.

• Partner directly with business users to understand workflows, gather feedback, and continuously improve the product.

• Design intuitive AI-powered user experiences for non-technical commercial and sales users.

• Make independent architecture and technical decisions as the initial primary engineer on the product.

• Instrument and evaluate deployed AI functionality based on adoption, efficiency, savings, and other measurable outcomes.

• Maintain, iterate, and improve solutions after deployment rather than stopping at proof-of-concept stage.

• Travel periodically to work directly with stakeholders and end users as needed.

Minimum Requirements:

• Strong full-stack engineering experience with hands-on ownership of both backend and frontend development.

• Advanced Python development experience.

• React frontend development experience.

• Production experience building agentic LLM applications.

• Hands-on experience developing RAG-based systems and retrieval workflows.

• Proven track record of deploying AI-powered products into production environments.

• Ability to clearly articulate measurable business impact from previously deployed products, such as cost savings, efficiency gains, revenue impact, or user adoption.

• Experience working directly with end users or business stakeholders in a forward-deployed or highly customer-facing engineering capacity.

• Strong product and UX instincts, particularly when building applications for non-technical users.

• Ability to independently own a 0-to-1 product build and make technical decisions with limited engineering support.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments and advising stakeholders on what should be built rather than simply acting as an order taker.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Palantir Foundry and/or AIP experience.

• Previous Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer experience or experience working within a Foundry-enabled organization.

• Experience fine-tuning or implementing small language models.

• Experience building AI evaluation and instrumentation frameworks using tools such as Braintrust or Statsig.

• Formal design training, an MFA, or prior experience spanning both design and engineering disciplines.

• Experience developing AI products for commercial, sales, or other non-technical enterprise user groups.
