Company: Trida AI

Location: Austin, Texas, United States

Work Model: Remote

Employment Type: Contract

Experience: 6–11 Years

About Trida AI

Trida AI is expanding its Forward Deployed Engineering bench for upcoming customer engagements. Engineers in this pool are first in line for client deployments as engagements start.

About the Role

Trida AI deploys Forward Deployed Engineers inside enterprise customer teams to design, build, and ship production AI systems — agents, retrieval, and data integrations — and to leave behind systems the customer can operate themselves. Success is production adoption and measurable workflow impact, not a demo. Travel to customer sites up to 50% may be required depending on the engagement.

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end deployment of AI systems in private-cloud, hybrid and on-prem environments — planning, configuration, testing and rollout

• Partner with customer IT on infrastructure, networking, security and data-management requirements

• Troubleshoot deployment issues in constrained environments and own operational runbooks

• Design for environments where public cloud is not an option

What We're Looking For

• Production Kubernetes and Helm, DevOps and CI/CD depth

• Deep cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP), networking and virtualisation

• Enterprise security and compliance deployment experience
