Job Title
Forward Deployed Engineer
Salary
Top-of-market compensation.
Location
Vietnam, on-site.
Company Description The client is backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors and is expanding across the world: live in 35+ countries with around 650 people, and a local team in every market it deploys in. It helps large enterprises accelerate AI adoption to unlock their full potential, combining a complete AI operating system with local deployment teams that get AI into production quickly. It reached a $5B valuation in under two years, on more than $800M raised - its valuation went from $2B to $5B in the last six months alone.
Vietnam is one of its most active hiring markets right now, and this is the engineer the customer sees: the one who makes the product real in production.
What You'll Do
This is not traditional product engineering. You are paired directly with enterprise teams: you learn their workflows, design the AI solution, and build the agents that go into production.
Partner with customers to find the operational problems worth solving.
Turn complex, ambiguous problems into technical designs, then implement them.
Deliver the platform on the customer's side, guiding them on best practices.
Build AI agents integrated with customer systems and APIs.
Run workshops with client teams.
Write production-grade code for integrations and workflows.
Manage deployments with reliability and performance as your responsibility.
Test against real data and iterate fast.
Work with the internal Product and Engineering teams, and contribute back to shared tools and documentation.
Required Qualifications
4+ years of hands-on software engineering, with production systems you built and scaled.
Fluent Vietnamese and fluent English, both written and spoken. You run the local market in Vietnamese and work with a global team in English.
Platform integration experience: APIs, cloud infrastructure, MCP, data flows.
Strong technical problem-solving, and comfortable in front of customers owning an ambiguous problem.
Excellent communication and a high-ownership mindset.
Nice to Have
Forward-deployed or solutions engineering background.
AI agent or automation work.
Fast-growth startup experience.
Cloud fluency; TypeScript, Go, or Python.
Why Join
You are the technical owner of the account, not a ticket in someone's backlog. First call to production is yours.
Founding-team membership in a global company with a local presence, working with builders from leading tech companies.
Join a company that went from zero to a $5B valuation in under two years - $2B to $5B in the last six months alone.
Enterprise AI at the moment it actually lands in production: live in 35+ countries, around 650 people, and agents that resolve more than 80% of the conversations they handle.
