About the role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at PubMatic, you will sit at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI, embedded directly within GTM and operational teams to ship production-grade AI workflows.
You will be delivering working agents, integrations, and automation that measurably improve productivity and decision-making inside real business processes.
Initial focus areas include GTM functions where AI can automate analysis, generate insights, and streamline day-to-day operations.

Own end-to-end technical delivery across multiple AI workflow deployments, from first prototype to stable production rollout.
Understand and follow PubMatic Agentic development guidelines, Guardrails, Evals, to Build and deploy AI agents, workflow automation, and integration pipelines directly into operational systems used by PubMatic business teams.
Develop MCP servers, sub-agents, retrieval pipelines, structured extraction templates, and supporting infrastructure tailored to each use case.
Translate business requirements into technical designs, sequencing delivery to protect timelines and manage scope trade-offs.
Guide functional teams through AI adoption, building trust, reducing friction, and ensuring deployed solutions are actively used.

2+ years of software engineering or technical deployment experience that includes direct customer-facing or embedded delivery work.
Hands-on experience with modern AI tooling including Claude, ChatGPT API, Notion AI, or comparable agent-development frameworks.
Production experience with LLMs: prompt engineering, agent development, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation frameworks, and deployment at scale.
Strong programming proficiency in Python.
Demonstrated ability to ship production-grade integrations in fast-moving or ambiguous environments.
High agency and sound judgment under ambiguity: ability to scope work, sequence delivery, remove blockers, and protect timelines independently.
You must be driven and a self-starter.
Experience working in an FDE, professional services, or embedded consulting capacity at an AI company, technology vendor, or consulting firm.
Experience with evaluation-driven development: designing precision/recall benchmarks, building human review queues, and establishing audit trails for AI outputs.

Background in deploying AI workflows into commercial functions such as sales, customer success, revenue operations, or trading desks.
Prior work at a company with a recognized FDE model (Palantir, OpenAI, Anthropic, Salesforce, or similar) is a strong plus.
Additional Information
Codify deployment patterns, connector templates, evaluation frameworks, and observability standards into reusable "golden path" playbooks.
