Forward Deployed Engineer (AI First Delivery)

Forward Deployed Engineer | AI First Delivery 

About Us 

Dhan AI is a boutique consulting and product company focused on AI first delivery and modern enterprise platforms. We work closely with our customers to design, build, and operate systems that create real business impact. 

The Role 

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who can work directly on customer problems and take ownership of building solutions end to end. 

This is not a traditional frontend, backend, QA, or data engineering role. We are looking for engineers who can use AI and modern engineering tools to solve across the full technology stack and turn a business problem into a working solution. 

You will work closely with customers, Delivery Leads, and other engineers to understand problems, design solutions, build applications, and take them into production. 

What You’ll Do 

• Build applications end to end, from requirements through production 

• Work across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, data pipelines, testing, deployment, and operations 

• Use AI tools and agents extensively throughout the software development lifecycle 

• Understand existing systems, map workflows, and identify practical solution options 

• Translate requirements into working software and iterate quickly based on customer feedback 

• Build prototypes and proofs of concept to validate ideas quickly 

• Design and implement reliable, maintainable solutions 

• Participate in testing, debugging, deployment, and production support 

• Work directly with Delivery Leads and customers to understand problems and deliver solutions 

• Take ownership of outcomes rather than limiting yourself to a specific technology or function 

What We’re Looking For 

• 0.5 to 4 years of experience in software engineering, including relevant internship or project experience 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a relevant technical discipline 

• Strong programming fundamentals and problem solving ability 

• Comfortable working across frontend and backend technologies 

• Strong curiosity about AI and a willingness to use AI extensively in daily engineering work 

• Ability to learn new technologies quickly and work in unfamiliar environments 

• Good communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts clearly 

• Strong ownership mindset and willingness to figure things out independently 

• Comfortable working in an ambiguous, fast moving environment 

AI Fluency 

AI is a core part of how we expect this role to operate. 

We are looking for people who actively experiment with AI rather than simply use it for basic coding assistance. 

Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate how they use AI tools and agents to: 

• Explore and understand a problem 

• Generate and evaluate solution options 

• Write and improve code 

• Build prototypes quickly 

• Test and debug 

• Automate repetitive work 

• Learn unfamiliar technologies 

• Improve their overall engineering productivity 

Practical experimentation with AI, personal projects, prototypes, or applications is highly valued. 

What Makes This Role Different 

• You are not restricted to one engineering function 

• You work directly on real customer problems 

• You are expected to use AI extensively to increase your engineering capability
