About Unframe
Unframe's standard text
Unframe is an AI-first startup helping the world’s largest enterprises bring LLM-powered applications to life in days - not months. We combine the speed of a product company with the flexibility of a consultancy, helping customers move from idea to deployed AI systems faster than anyone else in the market.
With over $100M in TCV secured within 12 months, and a new $50M Series B led by Highland Europe, Unframe is rapidly scaling globally alongside Fortune 500 customers, backed by Bessemer, Craft, and TLV.
About the role:
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Unframe, you'll work at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and our customers. You'll use your engineering experience to help enterprise customers deploy AI systems into production, solve complex technical challenges, and deliver solutions with real business impact.
What you’ll do:
- Work directly with enterprise customers to understand their business and technical challenges.
- Translate open-ended problems into practical AI solutions.
- Build production-grade integrations, workflows, and automations across customer systems, APIs, and data sources.
- Build and ship customer-facing solutions, not just prototypes or technical designs
- Deploy, test, and iterate in real customer environments.
- Own customer implementations from discovery through production.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to improve the platform.
- Design and implement LLM-powered workflows and agentic systems for real enterprise use cases.
What we are looking for:
- 5+ years of software engineering experience.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Strong ownership and the ability to drive projects from discovery to production.
- Experience working directly with customers and translating business needs into technical solutions.
- Experience integrating systems using APIs and working in production environments.
- Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js, React/Vue, and PostgreSQL.
- Experience with AI, LLMs, MCP, or agentic workflows.
- Experience in a Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or other customer-facing technical role.
Why join us?
- Real ownership from day one. Drive decisions, shape ideas and make them work.
- Your fastest learning years. Build alongside founders and VPs in a space that moves weekly.
- You'll have the opportunity to write and build what comes next.
