About this role
Tenex builds production AI systems for businesses, including Fortune 500 companies. Founded in New York City in 2025, we’re roughly 50 people today and plan to grow to 150 by year-end. One in three of our engineers has founded a company.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’re a software engineer who works directly with customers. You’ll design, write, test, and deploy production software while working with client teams to understand their requirements and make technical decisions.
You’ll work alongside AI Strategists, who combine consulting and product management to guide business priorities, define requirements, and lead adoption. You’ll own technical delivery for your workstream, from architecture through production performance.
