About the role

As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer at IFS, you will work directly with enterprise customers to deliver custom, production-ready AI solutions that address real-world business challenges. The role involves leading the design and deployment of intelligent agents, integrating the IFS Loops platform with customer systems, tuning agent behavior, troubleshooting deployments, and collaborating with internal teams to ensure successful outcomes. Candidates should have 2–5 years of relevant experience, proficiency in Python, and familiarity with AI/ML frameworks and enterprise system integrations. IFS offers a global, diverse, and flexible work environment focused on innovation and impact.

Must have

  • 2–5 years of experience in a software engineering, solutions engineering, or ML deployment role
  • Proficiency in Python and working knowledge of AI/ML frameworks (e.g. OpenAI, Hugging Face, LangChain, Pinecone, Weaviate, etc.)
  • Familiarity with building LLM applications, RAG systems, or conversational AI workflows
  • Experience integrating with enterprise systems via APIs or middleware (e.g. Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, Oracle)
  • Ability to translate business problems into technical solutions—and deliver them fast
  • Strong interpersonal skills; you’re just as comfortable on a whiteboard with a customer as you are in code
  • Bias toward action, ownership, and continuous learning in dynamic environments
