- What we are building
- The Customer Engineering Solutions Team at Domino is the primary delivery engine working inside some of the world's most regulated, complex, and demanding organizations-where security, reliability, governance, and production readiness are critical.
- A Forward Deployed Engineer is a software engineer with solutions instincts, embedded in a customer's environment and building AI workflows on Domino that the customer couldn't have built as fast, or as well, without you. We write production code, ship it inside the customer's environment, and stay close to the problem until Domino is fundamentally part of how they work.

- We write production code, ship it inside the customer's environment, and stay close to the problem until Domino is fundamentally part of how they work.
- We build and deploy production-grade AI solutions against real, high-impact use cases.
- That can mean specialized AI and inference workflows, custom cloud and data integrations, interactive applications, CI/CD and platform extensions, or solutions designed to operate within strict security, compliance, and governance requirements.
- What your impact will be
- Day 0-30 (Onboard & Shadow): You will be given the resources to master Domino platform mechanics and learn core user/admin functionalities. You will closely shadow the customer's environment, pairing with a senior FDE to learn the client's unique data, tooling stack, and commercial objectives.
- By Month 6 (Full Ownership): You will step into full customer ownership across your engagements, executing independently against a prioritized backlog managed by your partner Engagement Manager (EM). You will build and deploy production-grade solutions across the entire MLOps lifecycle (development, deployment, and monitoring) while actively advising data science teams on Domino best practices.
- By Year 1 (Strategic Scale & Leverage): You will lead and advise on key accounts, serving as a trusted advisor to technical and business stakeholders alike. You will author reusable playbooks, integration templates, and deployment guides for our shared knowledge base, measurably lifting the delivery speed of the entire FDE practice. Additionally, you will translate field intelligence into critical product feedback, routing platform signals to our SRE, Support, and Product teams to shape Domino's roadmap.
- What we look for in this role

- Cloud & Infrastructure: Experience with Kubernetes and managed K8s solutions (such as EKS, AKS, or GKE), Docker, and cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP). You should be capable of troubleshooting networking, compute, and platform issues.
- AI & MLOps Experience: A proven track record of delivering machine learning workflows, model deployment/monitoring, GPU workloads, and generative AI or agent frameworks.
- Regulated Environment Navigation: Experience operating within, or consulting for, highly regulated or constrained environments. You can expertly navigate multi-factor constraints like strict compliance rules, data security hurdles, and infrastructure limits.
- Consultative Mindset: Exceptional communication skills across both technical and business audiences. You are comfortable running structured discovery conversations, leading technical solutioning sessions, and translating messy customer requirements into buildable, tested solutions.
