Forward Deployed Engineer – Applied AI Focus

Engineer role focused on building and shipping applied AI agentic workflows for banking use cases on Titan's platform.
Responsibilities
- This is the FDE role with an applied AI spike
- You'll be the engineer on a client engagement, working on the Titan platform and toolkit to deliver agentic systems that solve real banking workflows. You won't be alone — you'll be supported by senior FDEs and the platform team — but you'll own the build. You'll spend most of your time inside Titan Foundry, our Banking-Reasoning Models, and our Banking Agents framework, configuring and extending to fit each client's specific problem.
- The growth path is into the senior FDE archetype: more off-platform building, deeper partnership with client engineering teams, broader architectural ownership.
- Build and ship agentic workflows on the Titan platform to solve specific banking use cases (lending, credit, compliance, ops)
- Configure agents, write integrations, design evals, and wire up the observability that proves things work in production
- Partner directly with clients — operators, analysts, sometimes their engineers — to gather requirements, demo progress, and absorb feedback
- Iterate fast: hypothesis, prototype, feedback, refine, ship
- Capture patterns back into the platform so your next build (and everyone else's) starts ahead
- Learn the banking domain rapidly through immersion — risk, controls, lending lifecycle, regulatory context
Requirements
- A builder. Demonstrably. We'd rather see a GitHub full of unfinished experiments than a resume full of polished titles.
- Unconventional paths welcome — and frankly preferred. If you taught yourself to code while working in a different industry because you couldn't stop thinking about the opportunity, we want to talk.
- Comfortable being client-facing or excited to become so. You don't need years of consulting; you do need to want to be in the room.
- Hungry to learn banking. You don't need to walk in fluent — you need to walk in curious.
- Capable of running a small project end-to-end without dropping balls.
Conditions
- Competitive base salary plus meaningful pre-Series A equity
- Remote-first with regular client travel (~25–40%, depending on engagement)
- Unlimited PTO
- 100% of employee medical, dental, and vision premiums covered by Titan
Other
- Prompt and context engineering experience (e.g., understand the nature of language model responses, able to return equal results out of smaller models with better prompts and context)
- Full-stack development with a stronger spike in backend (Python is core; TypeScript helpful)
- Experience building agents with LangChain, LangGraph, DeepAgents, and model-provider SDKs (Claude SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK) — strong side-project experience is fine
- Familiarity with agent search patterns: agent file search, vector RAG, vectorless RAG
- Some exposure to AI evals, observability, or training loops — you've at least played with the tooling
- Awareness of AI security concerns (data controls, gateways, observability) and willingness to learn the rest
- Process orchestration and workflow automation experience
- We don't expect a perfect match on every line. We expect that what you don't yet know, you can pick up in weeks, not quarters.
- We're building the AI platform for banking because most of the two million people employed by 4,000+ U.S. banks cannot safely and securely use modern AI tools at work — and none of them are using AI purpose-built for their domain. We're changing that. Our platform includes:
- Titan Foundry — secure gateway to top AI models for bank employees
- Banking-Reasoning Models — our flagship small language models for financial services, trained by ex-regulators and banking leaders
- Banking Agents — a configurable AI application layer with expertise in lending, compliance, underwriting, and operations
- Our team comes from Goldman Sachs, KeyBank, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. We've built and sold companies into the top 25 U.S. banks. We're pre-Series A, small, and shipping.
- The path here is: ship on the platform → master the toolkit → grow into off-platform builds and senior architectural ownership. We're not hiring you to stay where you start.
