AI Enablement Engineer

Valon Tech•New York, NY

About The Position

We're hiring an AI Deployment Engineer to join a small, high-autonomy team building the internal tools and AI-powered systems that make Valon's client deployments successful. This is not a traditional software engineering role. You'll operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and client delivery — building whatever is needed to make deployments run smoothly. One week you're standing up a project tracking dashboard; the next you're integrating AI agents into client workflows; the week after you're building admin tooling so deployment leads can manage teams and forecasts. To give you a sense of pace and scope: building a full deployment management platform — kanban boards, Gantt views, milestone tracking, AI-powered inbox scanning, team dashboards — in six weeks is the kind of output we expect from this role.

Requirements

1–5 years of engineering experience, with demonstrated ability to ship complete products (not just features within a larger codebase)
Full-stack web development chops — strong in React/TypeScript; comfortable building APIs, managing data layers, and crafting polished UIs
AI-fluent — you actively use coding agents in your development workflow and have built AI-powered features (agent workflows, RAG systems, copilot UX, or similar)
Extremely high velocity — you're the person who builds a working prototype while others are still writing the design doc
Comfortable with ambiguity — you thrive when given a problem, not a solution, and can turn vague requirements into shipped software
Strong product instincts — you build things people actually want to use, with attention to UX details like drag-and-drop, inline editing, and responsive layouts

Nice To Haves

Experience at early-stage startups or as a technical founder
Forward-deployed engineering background (Palantir, Anduril, Scale AI, or similar)
Familiarity with project management / deployment tracking domains
Experience building on Airtable, Notion, or similar low-code backends
Contributions to AI tooling or developer tools

Responsibilities

Build deployment tooling end-to-end — Design, build, and ship internal applications that help Valon manage complex client deployments. You'll own the full stack from data layer to UI.
Ship AI-powered features — Build AI agent workflows, copilot experiences, and automation tools that make deployment teams more effective. Think: intelligent inbox scanning, cross-reference extraction, AI-assisted planning.
Move fast with AI-assisted development — Use coding agents (Claude Code, Codex) as pair programmers to maintain high velocity. We expect you to ship meaningful features daily, not weekly.
Work across the stack — Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, API integrations. You don't need to know all of these coming in, but you need to learn fast and build confidently across layers.
Operate with high autonomy — You'll have broad ownership over what you build and how. No one will hand you detailed specs — you'll identify problems, design solutions, and ship them.
