As a Forward Deployed Engineer at VI, you sit at the intersection of client, product, and engineering. You're not building in isolation from a backlog handed down by someone else — you go into deep, sustained virtual immersion with the client, understand their real operational problems, and ship working software that solves them, fast. You prototype, integrate, and iterate directly with the people who will use what you build, then help harden it into something production-ready with our delivery teams.
You also bring a well-founded understanding of agentic engineering — not just using AI coding assistants, but genuinely understanding how agents plan, use tools, and fail, and applying that thinking to how you build, integrate, and automate in the field.
This role suits someone who's equally comfortable in a client workshop, a codebase, and a data pipeline — and who gets energy from ambiguity rather than needing it resolved before starting.
