About this role

Forward Deployed Software Engineers at Adé AI blend world-class software engineering with general problem solving skills and entrepreneurial instincts. Our engineers work directly with clients to build, customize, and integrate our software solutions into their specific environments, ensuring high-impact results through hands-on execution. Every day brings a new engineering challenge as you own the end-to-end technical solution, from data ingestion to front-end deployment. On any given day an Adé FDSWE may be building a production-grade data pipeline to unify disparate systems, vibe coding a custom front-end application to tackle a particularly challenging user workflow, or optimizing AI & ML model performance on a client's specific use case. Our FDSWEs work alongside and are supported by the Implementation Leads (product manager/consultant/hands on keys hacker).

Our FDSWEs are jacks of all trades. You don’t need to be an expert in every category, but you must be a fast learner with a high general comfort level across different technologies.

System Design & Strategy: Lead technical decision-making on what to build and when to build it to meet specific client mission requirements.

Data Engineering: Build and maintain production-grade data pipelines to ingest, clean, and unify disparate client data sources.

AI & Context Engineering: Own the LLM stack—including prompt/context engineering, building RAG workflows, and performing robust AI evaluations.

Applied ML/DS: Implement classical ML and data science techniques to process unstructured data and optimize model performance.

Frontend Applications: Architect and deploy React-based applications using modern AI tooling, with custom UIs tailored to solve business problems.

Technical Delivery: Partner with Implementation Leads to integrate solutions directly into client environments and resolve high-stakes bottlenecks.

 

 

Mission Reliability & On-Time Delivery: Own production monitoring and alerting to ensure system uptime, while partnering with Implementation Leads to manage overall project timelines.

About Adé AI

At Adé AI we’re on a mission to help companies beyond the tech industry actually get value out of AI.

We think the level of innovation in tech today is so exciting, but when you look beyond the tech industry, the average organization is not set up to benefit from AI. Lack of access to technical talent, data quality issues, and UX challenges combined with understandable operator skepticism are all major hurdles to adoption.

In our opinion, it’s not access to more tools that’s holding these organizations back, but rather access to the right partner.

 

 

So that’s where we started. We’re a small but mighty engineering services firm that helps customers build custom software solutions for problems such as administering SNAP benefits (state & local government) and constructing factories faster (Fortune 500).

Over the next 10 years we believe we have the opportunity, the founding team, the strategy, and the access to top customers globally required to grow into a major player in the applied AI space. We will scale the company by building a portfolio of targeted software solutions that emerge from the innovations our services team deliver.
