Forward Deployed AI Engineer

Lunon is an AI-native consulting firm in New York City, backed by General Catalyst. Most companies don't need another deck about AI. They need an engineer who can walk in, understand the operation, and ship. That's what we do: we embed engineers inside the business and stay until the software runs without us.

The team is young and moves fast. Everyone here has a wide skill set, works with the newest tools as they land, and owns what they ship end to end. Nobody hands you a ticket.

What you'll do:

• Pick the right model for each job, from frontier APIs to open-weight models, and know when fine-tuning beats a better prompt.
• Fine-tune when it pays off: supervised fine-tuning, preference optimization, and parameter-efficient methods like LoRA.
• Build the evaluation harnesses and benchmarks that tell us whether a change made things better.
• Take models from training to serving, and tune inference cost, latency, and quality.
• Sit with the client's team, find where AI moves their numbers, and say no to work that won't pay back.
