Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Positron AI builds next-generation AI inference accelerators for low-latency, high-throughput large language model inference. The Lead AI Forward Deployed Engineer will drive AI-native development across the Accelerator Platform Software team by embedding with sub-teams, building agentic workflows and internal tooling, and measuring their effectiveness through evaluations.
Responsibilities
- Embed with APS sub-teams across firmware, runtime, performance, and simulation, and build agentic workflows into how they actually work, including coding, debugging, triage, test generation, and keeping documentation honest
- Pair directly with senior engineers on their real work, earning adoption by making their week measurably better
- Own the shared skills repository and internal agent tooling that turn hard-won team knowledge into reusable, evaluated automation
- Wire agents into CI and everyday engineering surfaces, including code review, log and trace triage, and silicon-debug assistance
- Build and maintain evaluations so workflow quality is measured rather than guessed, and regression-test the automation like any other production system
- Set the standard for what good AI-assisted engineering looks like where correctness is non-negotiable, and champion that AI-native culture across the team
- Identify where AI leverage genuinely pays off and where it does not, and say so plainly
Skills
- * A strong software engineering background, with systems or infrastructure experience strongly preferred; this is an engineering role, not a prompt-writing role
- * Hands-on, expert experience using agentic development tools such as OpenAI Codex and Claude Code, integrating LLM APIs, and building evaluations
- * A shipped track record of internal tooling or developer-productivity work that engineers actually adopted
- * The credibility and patience to win over skeptical senior systems engineers with results rather than demos
- * Self-directed working style, comfortable defining your own roadmap from observed friction without a team around you
- * Excellent written communication skills, since we run on written plans, design docs, and async updates
- This position is open to candidates currently authorized to work in the U.S. We cannot provide new visa sponsorship for this role but are open to facilitating H-1B visa transfers for eligible candidates
- * A low-level or hardware-adjacent background, enough to be credible pairing on a kernel driver or a trace-analysis session
- * Experience with CI/CD systems, developer platforms, or build and release engineering
- * Prior forward-deployed, solutions-engineering, or platform-team experience
Benefits
- Fully company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents
- Company-paid life and disability coverage, with voluntary options to add more
- Supplemental hospital, critical illness, and accident coverage available
