About The Position

PromptQL is looking for Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) to guide our customers through their entire technical journey with us. You are a strategic advisor, as well as a hands-on executor, that serves as the technical cornerstone throughout our customer’s AI transformation journey. The role spans pre-sales technical validation, solution architecture, implementation, and ongoing customer success. This kind of implementation work calls for hustle, drive, curiosity, and a strong sense of ownership. The best FDEs take initiative, think independently, and are always looking to learn.
