Job Description
About Typeface We help the world’s biggest brands move from brief to fully personalized campaigns — in days, not months.
Founded by Abhay Parasnis and backed by Microsoft, GV, Salesforce, Lightspeed, Madrona and Menlo, we’re building category-defining technology at the intersection of creativity and AI with real impact. Join us to help shape the future of enterprise marketing.
What You’ll Do
As a Forward Deployment Engineer, you will translate complex business needs into scalable technical architectures, rapidly prototype AI-driven applications, and integrate Typeface’s platform across customer ecosystems. You’ll combine full-stack engineering expertise with hands-on GenAI experience—building custom agents, workflows, and reusable components—while driving customer transformations through fast experimentation and iterative delivery.
How You’ll Make Impact
- Partner with Customer Success Managers, AI Engagement Managers, and Product teams to define customer requirements, facilitate technical workshops, and co-create GenAI solutions
- Apply an AI-first experimentation mindset—build proof points in days, iterate on feedback, and demonstrate quick wins that build momentum for transformations
- Design, build, and deploy full-stack applications and microservices integrating Typeface API/SDK, Brand Hub, Arc Agents, and multimodal content generation
- Build custom agents and workflows tailored to specific customer use cases
- Develop integrations with customer systems (CMS, DAM, marketing automation, analytics) and platforms like Google Workspace, Salesforce, Adobe Experience Cloud, and Campaign Manager 360
- Capture field-proven use cases and funnel them back to Product and Engineering teams to inform the Typeface platform roadmap
- Identify patterns and opportunities for productization of custom solutions while championing customer needs in internal product discussions
- Develop reusable components, templates, and patterns deployable across customers with CI/CD pipelines and governance checks
- Create automated testing frameworks for brand compliance, content safety, and quality assurance while designing scalable architectures for enterprise-grade volumes
- Own delivery sprints from requirements through deployment, tackling challenges on-site or remotely while balancing multiple customer engagements
- Document playbooks, prompts, patterns, and best practices in internal knowledge bases and create technical guides for common use cases
- Share learnings across the organization, mentor other engineers, and present technical demos and case studies at customer events
What You’ll Bring
- 3+ years as a full-stack developer or technical consultant with strong proficiency in React.js/Next.js/Angular, Node.js/Python/Java Spring Boot, REST/GraphQL APIs, and track record shipping production applications
- Extensive hands-on experience with LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Gemini), diffusion models (Stable Diffusion, DALL·E), and multimodal AI for text, images, video, and audio
- Deep expertise in RAG pipelines, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS), semantic search, and AI agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen)
- Proficiency with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model optimization, and understanding of LLM capabilities, limitations, and hallucination mitigation strategies
- Cloud expertise across AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, SageMaker, Bedrock), Azure (OpenAI Service, Cognitive Services), and Google Cloud (Vertex AI, BigQuery)
- Strong DevOps skills including Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (GitLab, GitHub Actions), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and monitoring tools
- Understanding of OAuth, JWT, API security, data encryption, and compliance requirements (SOC2, GDPR)
- Experience with content management systems, digital asset management platforms, marketing automation tools, and creative workflows
- Outstanding customer-centricity with ability to build trust quickly with enterprise technical teams and stakeholders
- Exceptional communication skills to translate complex AI concepts for both engineers and executives, present solutions clearly, and write comprehensive technical documentation
- Startup DNA: thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high ownership mentality, comfortable wearing multiple hats and tackling problems outside core expertise

- Full medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
- HSA and FSA options to support your financial wellness
