Forward Deployed Engineer at Clientell AI

https://www.getclientell.com/careers/forward-deployed-engineer Services team, Clientell AI - India Office, HSR Layout, Bangalore (in office, full time) You wont ship into a backlog. Youll sit across the table from the client and ship the fix before the meeting ends. About Clientell AI (same block as above) About this role We build AI agents on top of Salesforce, HubSpot, and whatever other CRM or ERP stack a client runs. Agents that do the work, not agents that tell someone what to click. Someone has to go sit with the client, understand their actual workflow, and build the thing that fits their business rather than a generic version of it. Thats a Forward Deployed Engineer. You embed with the account, build fast, and own it until it works in production and keeps working. What youll actually do Sit with a clients team, watch how they actually work, and figure out what to build before you write code Build and ship AI agents that plug into Salesforce, HubSpot, and whatever else the client runs Own the full loop: prototype, harden, deploy, and carry the pager for what you shipped Build the evals. If you cant measure whether the agent is right, you havent shipped it, youve demoed it Instrument what you ship: traces, failure logs, a way to know it broke before the client tells you it broke Work with our Salesforce Consultants so the agent understands the org it lives in Turn a vague complaint into a working demo fast, then decide whats actually worth hardening Make judgment calls with incomplete information, and be able to explain them afterward What makes you a fit You can actually build: Python or JavaScript, real API work, and enough command of LLMs and agent tooling that wiring an agent into a live system isnt foreign territory Youve put something with an LLM in it in front of real users, and you know exactly what it got wrong You can read Salesforces REST and Bulk API docs and get a call working without hand-holding. You dont need to be a Salesforce developer, you do need to not be lost Youd rather ship something rough in front of a client today than something polished in front of nobody next month Youre comfortable being dropped into a mess with no spec You debug like its personal Realistically this fits someone zero to three years out, and we care far more about what youve shipped than when you graduated. If youre further along and the band still works for you, apply anyway and tell us why Use AI like you mean it This matters more here than almost anywhere. I use ChatGPT sometimes wont cut it. Bring an agent or an automation you built. Two minutes, screen shared. Well ask how you knew it was working, and what happened the first time it wasnt. Even better if You know Salesforce as an admin, a developer, or in any application-level role, enough that youre not lost inside someone elses org Youve sold or pitched anything to anyone What its actually like here Some weeks are heavier than others. You fix something live in the middle of a demo, a deploy slips late, a build gets thrown out and redone. When that happens everyone shows up. The rest of the time we dont perform busyness. If you want work that stops moving at 6pm every day regardless of whats in production, this will annoy you. Youll carry the pager for what you ship. On-call is shared across the team, not dumped on whoever joined last, and we agree the terms with you before you go on the rotation. What you get in return: real ownership from week one, your work in front of enterprise clients within the first month, and no layer between you and the person using what you built. How were hiring for this Were also hiring a Solutions Consultant and a Salesforce Consultant right now. One application, one process. If you turn out to be the engineer whos unusually good with people, we may point you at a more client-facing track, and well tell you why after the first call. Interview process Thirty minutes with the hiring manager: role fit, your AI demo, your questions A two-hour build session: a real problem, your own machine, your own tools, AI included. We care about how you get to something working and how youd know if it stopped working A conversation with the founder, we name the accounts, you meet the people youd work with We aim to close this in under two weeks from the first call. If we pass, youll hear why. Compensation and logistics 7-12 LPA. If youre clearly better than the top of that band, tell us and well have that conversation. ESOP. Health insurance. First comp review at six months, not twelve. Full time, in office, HSR Layout, Bangalore. Not remote, our delivery mode .
