About the role
You will be that person. You sit with our customers, build their Individual AIs, connect them to their systems, and make sure they work. What you learn in the field shapes what we build next.
What you'll do
- Launch customers. Scope, configure, and ship each deployment, from kickoff to first use.
- Build their AIs. Turn a customer's documents, recordings, and know-how into working Individual AIs.
- Connect their systems. Wire Uare.ai into their tools, data sources, and sign-in.
- Run the sessions. Onboard each team, lead guided tests, and collect structured feedback.
- Fix it fast. Debug issues on site and get the right fixes to engineering.
- Bring it home. Turn repeat customer work into product features and playbooks.
What we're looking for
- U.S. citizenship is required. This role supports U.S. government contracts that require it.
- 3+ years as a software, solutions, or forward deployed engineer working directly with customers.
- Strong in Python or TypeScript, APIs, and data pipelines.
- Hands-on with LLMs, RAG, or AI features in production.
- Calm in front of customers. You explain technical work in plain language.
- Willing to travel to customer sites, including government facilities.
Bonus
- Government or regulated deployments (IL5, FedRAMP, or HIPAA), ideally on Azure. An active clearance is a plus.
- Customer-facing engineering at an AI or early-stage company.
Apply with
One deployment you led: the customer, what broke, and how you fixed it. Optional.
How we hire

- Location: in-person, 5 days a week, across our San Francisco and Los Altos offices.
