Forward Deployed Engineer, Artie at Artisan

Forward Deployed Engineer, Artie at Artisan. Artisan builds AI employees that take on real work. Artie lets companies build AI employees for any function, connect them to their systems, and give them ongoing responsibilities. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll meet customers on-site or over Zoom, speak with leaders across departments, and scope where AI employees can help. You'll build those employees using Artie, ensure adoption, and drive expansion toward a wall-to-wall deployment. You'll report directly to our CEO, Jaspar, and own the work from discovery through implementation and expansion.

What you'll own: Speak with department leaders to understand priorities and workflows; scope deployments and agree success measures; build AI employees and connect tools, skills, knowledge and permissions; write implementation code and integrations and debug authentication, APIs, webhooks and data flows; test realistic workflows, failure handling and private-data boundaries; lead rollout, train users, track usage and business outcomes; expand successful deployments across departments; turn recurring needs into reusable skills, integrations and product improvements.

What we're looking for: You've personally shipped software or technical implementations people use and can explain decisions and results. You're a hands-on engineer who can build integrations, navigate unfamiliar codebases and debug across systems. You can speak with senior leaders and turn unclear business needs into practical plans; build and test AI workflows; own adoption and expansion without overpromising. Willing to work in person in San Francisco and travel fairly frequently. Background may include FDE, software engineer, solutions engineer, technical founder or implementation lead. We prefer experience with agentic coding and running coding agents at scale; AI deployments, enterprise integrations and cross-functional rollout are valuable. Projects, code or technical write-ups welcome.

Interview process: Screening call with Nick, Artisan's AI recruiter; introductory call with Jaspar, CEO; one- or two-day work trial; decision. Apply by emailing nick@artie.ai with a system or deployment you owned, how you drove adoption and the result. Do not share proprietary information.

Salary: $150,000 to $180,000 USD/year; equity: 0.10% to 0.20%. Full-time, in-person San Francisco, frequent customer travel.
