Forward Deployed Engineer

Gushwork is reinventing how businesses get discovered. We're an agentic AI startup that helps B2B companies show up in AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity—by building a content engine on websites designed to attract AI visitors alongside human visitors.

We're a US and Bengaluru-based company that's raised over $11M from top-tier global VCs including SIG, Lightspeed, B Capital & Beenext. While search behavior is rapidly shifting toward AI, most B2B companies are being left behind. We're changing that.

We're at an exciting inflection point—moving fast, solving hard problems, and building technology that's becoming critical infrastructure as AI reshapes how buyers find solutions. If you want to work on challenging problems with a talented team in a high-growth environment, we'd love to meet you.

About Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you own the whole job for a customer: understand the problem, design the solution, build it with Claude Code and other AI coding tools, roll it out, and keep it running.
This is a hands-on role that sits close to the customer. You will talk to them, understand how their business works, and turn that into software they use every day. You own what you build, from the first line of code to live in production.

Why you'll love us

• You'll be part of an early team at a fast-growing company, with a lot of impact
• You'll get to work with really smart and helpful people
• We constantly adopt the latest technologies and stay close to the latest ai innovations
