• Collaborate with internal teams to influence roadmap priorities based on customer needs and recurring technical challenges
• Build reusable technical content including documentation, reference architectures, internal tools, and templates to scale future deployments
• Represent Tavily in customer conversations, architecture reviews, post-deployment tracking, and partner-facing technical engagements

Requirements

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in a customer-facing, consulting, or partner-focused role (e.g., Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer)
• Strong engineering skills and experience working with the modern agent stack
• Deep understanding of agent architectures, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), large language models (LLMs), and context engineering
• Strong interpersonal skills and comfort working directly with technical stakeholders at enterprises and partners
• Fast learner, highly autonomous, and excited to work in a fast-paced startup environment
• Based in New York City, Austin, or San Francisco, or willing to relocate
