## Description

As a Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you’ll work directly with enterprise customers on high-impact projects that leverage Generative AI, LLMs, and modern application development.

You’ll be hands-on in helping organizations migrate legacy databases, modernize their architecture, and integrate AI-driven functionality into their applications.

This is a rare opportunity to apply your software engineering expertise while driving AI adoption across industries.

You’ll not only solve challenging, real-world engineering problems, but also influence MongoDB’s AI strategy and product direction.

This role will be based remotely anywhere within the U.S. or any MongoDB North America office.

### Responsibilities

- Work with enterprise customers to refactor applications, migrate legacy databases, and optimize performance using MongoDB

- Prototype and build AI-powered features, leveraging LLMs and Generative AI frameworks to improve software development workflows and application functionality

- Apply modern software engineering practices to accelerate customers’ AI adoption, helping them implement microservices-based architectures, intelligent automation, and AI-enhanced applications

- Influence MongoDB’s AI and software development roadmap by sharing insights from real-world implementations and customer needs

- Collaborate across engineering, product, and customer teams to create scalable, resilient software solutions

### Requirements

- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with a proven track record of delivering impactful technical solutions for enterprise clients, preferably using Java, SQL, and Python

- An engineering degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Network Engineering, or Electrical Engineering

- In-depth knowledge of AI/ML concepts, tools, and open-source development; experience designing and implementing AI-powered applications is highly preferred

- Proficient in test-driven development methodologies and familiar with monolithic vs. microservices architectures, including database migration and refactoring

- Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for tackling complex, “un-Googleable” challenges while driving innovation through software development
