About the role

  • We are looking for Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to join the founding Cogentiq team.
  • As an FDE, you will work at the intersection of software engineering, AI, enterprise integration, and customer success.
  • Beyond customer implementations, you'll help shape the evolution of the Cogentiq platform by transforming deployment learnings into reusable platform capabilities, connectors, and best practices.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop production-grade AI applications using the Cogentiq platform.
  • Build integrations with enterprise applications such as SAP, Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, SharePoint, Snowflake, Databricks, and other business systems.
  • Develop reusable connectors, APIs, SDKs, MCP servers, and automation components.
  • Design secure, scalable, cloud-native architectures and build reliable backend services and microservices.
  • Collaborate directly with customer engineering and business teams to understand requirements, conduct technical workshops, and deliver successful AI solutions.
  • Troubleshoot production deployments, optimize system performance, and ensure reliability and security.
  • This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving ambiguous, real-world problems, thrive in fast-paced environments, and are excited to build the next generation of Enterprise AI.

Requirements

  • Experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and modern AI orchestration frameworks is highly desirable.
  • Experience integrating enterprise applications and platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, SharePoint, Snowflake, Databricks, and other business systems.
  • Experience with enterprise integration patterns, API-first architectures, authentication mechanisms such as OAuth, JWT, and SAML, and are proficient working with SQL, REST, and GraphQL APIs.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, event-driven architectures, messaging platforms, observability, monitoring, and security best practices required to build reliable enterprise platforms.
  • Experience in ownership of outcomes, learn quickly, prototype rapidly, and continuously look for opportunities to transform customer-specific solutions into reusable platform capabilities.
  • Our Ideal Candidate:
  • experience and training
  • All applications must be made through posted job openings
  • Strong Software Engineering fundamentals
  • Experience in building production-grade backend applications, REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems
  • Proficient in working with databases, Git, and modern software development practices.
  • Proficient in Python
  • AI Engineering
  • Hands-on experience building AI-powered applications using Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI frameworks, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), tool calling, prompt engineering, and AI evaluation techniques.
  • Enterprise Integration
  • Cloud & Platform Engineering
  • Experience building and deploying cloud-native applications on Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud using Docker and Kubernetes.

Nice to have

  • You should be equally comfortable writing production-grade code, designing enterprise integrations, collaborating with customer teams, and shaping the future of the Cogentiq platform.
  • Experience in Java or TypeScript being a plus.

Compensation

  • The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.
  • At Fractal, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case.
  • A reasonable estimate of the current range is: Up to $150,000.

  • The Company provides for 11 paid holidays and 12 weeks of Parental Leave.
  • We also follow a "free time" PTO policy, allowing you the flexibility to take the time needed for either sick time or vacation.
