Forward Deployed Engineer

via Ashby
About this role
Our mission is to turn frontier intelligence into real results for every business. We charge for results, not access.
Tenex was founded in New York City in 2025. We are roughly 50 people today and our end-of-year target is 150. We ship production AI for Fortune 500 clients, and one in three of our engineers has founded a company. Our engineers work directly with C-suite leaders to find where AI can change their business, and then build the custom systems that make it work in production at the boundary of what is possible.
The Forward Deployed Engineer is how that happens. It is not a support role and not a services role. It is the role.
