About The Position

This is a full-time, on-site role for a Forward Deployed Engineer based in our New York office. We’re looking for a technically exceptional engineer who’s excited to work directly with our customers and partners to design, prototype, and deploy integrations of Tavily’s API into real-world agentic systems.

You’ll help build RAG pipelines, production-grade applications, and industry-specific GenAI use cases built on Tavily. You’ll operate across the customer lifecycle — from early discovery and solution design to scaling usage and identifying new opportunities. You’ll bridge product, engineering, sales, partnerships, and customer success. About Tavily We're building the infrastructure layer for agentic web interaction at scale. Our API is designed from the ground up to power Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high-quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent — but also informed. We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI — from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it’s powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we’re the missing link between LLMs and the real world.
