Forward Deployed Engineer - UAE

The OpenAI Deployment Company ("DeployCo") is the deployment arm of OpenAI, purpose-built to deliver enterprise AI transformation at scale. As model capabilities accelerate, deployment has become the primary constraint to realizing AI value creation within large enterprises. DeployCo bridges that gap.

We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to lead the design, build, and deployment of enterprise AI systems. In this role, you will operate as a senior technical owner across customer engagements, shaping architecture, setting engineering standards, and helping teams move from prototypes to durable production AI systems. DeployCo is one of the few places where engineers can work with the autonomy of a small startup while building for the scale, complexity, and impact of the world’s largest enterprises.

What you'll do:

• Lead software engineering workstreams for customer deployments, owning architecture, implementation quality, evaluation strategy, and production readiness for LLM-powered systems.
• Build AI applications, agents, and workflow tools using LLMs, retrieval, orchestration, APIs, data systems, and production software practices.
• Guide engineers through ambiguous technical problems, reviewing designs, code, tradeoffs, and operating assumptions.
• Work directly with customer technical teams and business stakeholders to translate workflows into reliable AI systems.
• Prototype quickly, identify what is reusable, and harden successful patterns into reference architectures and implementation assets.
• Design evaluation and monitoring approaches that improve quality, reliability, safety, and customer trust.
