Role: Forward-Deployed AI Engineer Enterprise AI
Location: Bengaluru India
Experience Level: 8 years
Work Model: Hybrid 3 days per week in office

Enterprise AI is a distinct business unit within Turing operating with the speed focus and ownership of a rapidly scaling startup. When it comes to applied AI in the workplace youll define the frontier by building beyond it.

Youll join the initial team of Forward-Deployed Engineers shaping how we work while solving enterprise-grade problems for the worlds leading enterprises. As a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer youll own outcomes end to endfrom identifying high-value customer problems and shaping architecture to building production systems and working directly with senior client leaders.

Youll develop generative AI solutions in the real world driving measurable impact and return on investment within large institutions. Enterprise AI is intense intellectually challenging work. It wont be for everyone but it may be exactly the challenge youre looking for.

Work directly with customers to navigate ambiguity uncover high-value opportunities challenge assumptions and translate complex business needs into clear technical direction. This requires curiosity and business acumen as you discover business workflows and jointly define the outcomes an AI solution should drive.

Architect and build production AI systems from multi-agent workflows orchestration tool use context engineering memory and state and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to the APIs data pipelines integrations and distributed systems that make them reliable at scale.

You wont simply be given a list of responsibilitiesyoull have the authority to own the outcome for your client and make a real-world impact through your work. Youll lead solutions from discovery through deployment and measurable impact while staying hands-on and owning evaluation observability security reliability latency scalability and cost.

High ownership and intensity: This role requires exceptional ownership and accountability. Youll work with clients who have uncompromising expectations for quality making this a demanding environmentand an ideal proving ground for people who seek difficult high-impact challenges.

Client-first and hybrid: This role is based in Bengaluru or Hyderabad and requires working from the office three days per week. Candidates must currently be based in one of these two cities. Relocation assistance is not available.

Youll help write the playbook: Enterprise AI operates like a startup. You may not always have an established process or playbook because youll be expected to apply your expertise judgment and technical depth to create one.

Deep production engineering experience: Typically 8 years building and operating sophisticated software systems with expertise in Python backend systems APIs databases distributed systems system design and cloud infrastructure.

Hands-on agentic AI experience: Experience building production LLM and agent systems using orchestration tool use context engineering memory and state retrieval and multistep workflows.

Strong retrieval depth: Experience building and improving production retrieval systems with a practical understanding of embeddings vector and hybrid search reranking evaluation and diagnosing retrieval quality.

End-to-end systems ownership: A track record of taking complex systems from architecture through deployment and scale with a practical understanding of evaluation observability reliability security guardrails latency scalability and cost.

Exceptional customer and technical leadership: The ability to enter unfamiliar environments earn trust quickly navigate ambiguity challenge assumptions constructively and communicate effectively with senior engineers and business executives.

Client-ready communication: The ability to explain technical concepts clearly navigate ambiguity work with stakeholders and remain calm under pressure.
