Forward Deployed Engineer, Enterprise AI [LATAM]

We help global enterprise partners integrate Meta's foundation models and AI tools directly into their core products and infrastructure. We are hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to independently lead complex technical integrations directly with top enterprise clients. You will embed closely with external partner engineering teams to deploy, test, and optimize large-scale AI solutions. This is a hands-on role where you will be responsible for ensuring smooth implementations across our platform. You will tackle ambiguous deployment challenges head-on—like reducing latency, resolving interoperability issues, and building secure data connectors. You will then translate those technical hurdles into actionable feedback, working together with other engineering teams to iterate and refine the AI ecosystem. If you are a highly skilled engineer passionate about solving complex constraints and driving immediate, measurable impact, we encourage you to apply.
Forward Deployed Engineer, Enterprise AI LATAM Responsibilities
Own Deployments: Embed directly with client engineering teams to manage the complete deployment lifecycle of AI solutions, from technical scoping to production handoff.
Build Integrations & Workflows: Design and implement robust connections between Meta's AI platforms and complex client systems (e.g., CRMs, inventory systems, messaging infrastructure), configuring workflows to meet specific partner needs.
System Optimization: Architect scalable solutions, analyze code quality, and resolve complex performance and latency bottlenecks in real-world AI workloads.
Develop Reusable Tooling: Act as a force-multiplier by turning one-off deployment patterns into reusable software components and playbooks that accelerate future work.
Implement Evaluation Frameworks: Build and configure rigorous testing frameworks tailored to client environments to ensure AI reliability, safety, and output quality.
Provide Technical Leadership: Lead complex technical efforts and cross-functional workstreams while mentoring peer engineers.

Minimum Qualifications:

Track record of setting technical direction for a team, driving consensus and successful cross-functional partnerships
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
Experience building maintainable and testable code bases, including API design and unit testing techniques
6+ years of programming experience in a relevant language or 3+ years of experience + PhD

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience building and scaling large-scale software systems, including successfully deploying complex AI applications from proof-of-concept into production environments
Experience collaborating directly with external partners, enterprise clients, or cross-functional teams to unblock integrations and solve complex technical constraints
Experience designing and implementing scalable solutions on major cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP), including leveraging core cloud services (compute, storage, machine learning) to optimize AI workflows, reduce inference latency, and manage compute costs
Experience implementing rigorous testing and evaluation frameworks for AI systems (e.g., establishing quality benchmarks, mitigating hallucinations, conducting safety reviews)
Experience in regulated industries (financial services, insurance, healthcare) or navigating enterprise compliance requirements (SOC2, data residency, privacy frameworks)
Demonstrated ability to independently lead technical projects and translate field challenges into actionable feedback (e.g., identifying integration gaps, proposing feature improvements) to guide internal engineering teams
Ability to communicate effectively in both English and Portuguese, with strong written and verbal skills in each language, to support collaboration across global and local teams
