Job Description
Join Protex, a fast-paced startup at the forefront of AI-powered solutions. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll work directly with enterprise customers, turning complex operational challenges into working solutions. You'll have access to cutting-edge technology and the opportunity to shape the future of the Protex platform.
- Travailler directement avec les clients pour comprendre leurs défis opérationnels et traduire des problèmes ambigus en solutions techniques fonctionnelles.
- Posséder des solutions de bout en bout, de la découverte technique et du prototypage rapide jusqu'au déploiement en production et à la remise.
- Construire des applications full-stack, des agents d'IA, des intégrations et des flux de travail sur la plateforme Protex.
- You don't need to have worked in manufacturing or logistics before. You do need to be technically excellent, commercially curious and comfortable taking ownership well beyond writing code
- We're looking for high-agency engineers who thrive in ambiguity, move quickly and care deeply about solving real problems
- Ownership and execution: A bias for action, strong independent problem-solving skills and the ability to take something from an ambiguous idea to working software in days
- Data and integrations: Comfortable working with APIs, SQL, data pipelines and complex enterprise systems, including unfamiliar or poorly documented environments
- Strong engineering foundations: Several years of experience building and shipping production software, with deep expertise in either full-stack development or AI engineering and the versatility to work across the stack
- Modern AI development: Hands-on experience using AI coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code or similar to build, iterate and ship software significantly faster
- Applied AI expertise: Experience building with LLMs, agents, AI APIs or modern AI frameworks, with a strong understanding of how to turn AI capabilities into reliable applications
- Product thinking: The ability to understand a business problem, challenge assumptions and design a pragmatic solution rather than simply implementing requirements
- Customer communication: Confidence working directly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, from enterprise IT teams to operational leaders
- Experience in forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering or customer-facing technical roles
- Experience working in a high-growth startup where speed, adaptability and ownership matter
- Experience with computer vision, multimodal AI or vision-language models
- Exposure to manufacturing, logistics, industrial automation or operational technology
