Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineers turn what Luma's models can do into systems customers actually rely on. You embed with a customer, learn their workflow, define the problem with them, and build the production system that solves it, with their data and their constraints. You own both the relationship and the code.

This is engineering at the edge, where ambiguity is the default and "what should we build?" is yours to answer. It's built for people who've already been the single point of ownership on a hard problem: a technical founder, the engineer who flew out and rebuilt a customer's workflow, a consultant who actually wrote the system. If you need a PRD and a well-defined ticket queue, this isn't it.

What You'll Own

Work directly with customers to understand their workflows, constraints, and goals, and define the problem yourself.

Build production systems on Luma's APIs, models, and internal tools.

Prototype, ship, iterate, and maintain systems customers depend on in real environments with real data.

Own projects end to end, from first conversation to deployed system.

Build around platform gaps when something's missing, and feed recurring patterns back to platform and R&D to productize.

Use AI to accelerate implementation, while the core of the work stays engineering judgment: what to build and how to make it reliable.
