About Invisible
Invisible Technologies makes AI work. Our end-to-end AI platform structures messy data, automates digital workflows, deploys agentic solutions, measures outcomes, and integrates human expertise where it matters most.
Our platform cleans, labels, and structures company data so it is ready for AI. It adapts models to each business and adds human expertise when needed, the same approach we have used to improve models for more than 80% of the world’s top AI companies, including Microsoft, AWS, and Cohere.
Our successes span industries, from supply chain automation for Swiss Gear to AI-enabled naval simulations with SAIC, and validating NBA draft picks for the Charlotte Hornets.
Profitable for more than half a decade, Invisible reached \$134M in revenue and ranked as the number two fastest growing AI company on the 2024 Inc. 5000. In September 2025, we raised \$100M in growth capital to accelerate our mission of making AI actually work in the enterprise and to advance our platform technology.
About The Role As a Senior Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) you’ll work directly with clients and our internal delivery teams to build and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how work gets done. You’ll own projects end-to-end: scoping ambiguous problems, prototyping AI workflows, and deploying scalable systems on top of our products — all while interfacing with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
This is a hybrid role: equal parts AI engineer, software builder, and technical consultant. It’s perfect for someone who wants to be hands‑on with models and close to the impact they generate.
What You’ll Do
Collaborate with delivery leaders to scope technical solutions to operational problems
Identify workflow optimizations through deep engagement with customer problems and work to build into a stable and scalable solution
Design and implement AI‑powered workflows using LLMs, embedding models, retrieval systems, and automation tools
Translate messy real‑world constraints (e.g., inconsistent data, latency requirements) into elegant engineering solutions
Iterate quickly based on real‑time feedback from operators and clients
Build reusable tooling and infrastructure that accelerates future deployments
What We Need
6+ years of software engineering experience, including significant time spent building data, ML, or backend systems
Python & ML/LLM Frameworks:
Deep proficiency in Python with hands‑on experience using Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI, Pinecone, and related ecosystems
Deployment & Infrastructure:
Skilled in full‑stack and API‑based deployment patterns, including Docker, FastAPI, Kubernetes, and cloud environments (GCP, AWS)
Platform Orchestration:
Experienced with workflow orchestration libraries, pub/sub systems (Kafka), and schema governance
Data Management:
Expertise in data governance and operations, including Unity Catalog and policy management, cluster/job orchestration, data contracts and quality enforcement, Delta/ETL pipelines, and replay processes
Strong product and system design instincts — you understand business needs and how to translate them into technical architecture
Experience building usable systems from messy data and ambiguous requirements
Excellent communication and client‑facing skills; you’ve led conversations with technical and non‑technical stakeholders alike
Proven experience owning projects from scoping through deployment in ambiguous, high‑stakes environments
Be willing to be on‑call for our customers when situations arise
Ability to travel roughly 25–50% of the time, sometimes short‑notice trips—primarily across North America with occasional international roll‑outs—to work directly on‑site with clients
Strong engineering background demonstrated by a Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science and related fields OR equivalent professional experience

What It's Like to Work at Invisible At Invisible, we’re not just redefining work—we’re reinventing it. We operate at the intersection of advanced AI and human ingenuity, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to unlock productivity and scale. Ownership is at the core of everything we do. Here, you won’t just execute tasks—you’ll build, innovate, and shape the future alongside world‑class clients pushing the boundaries of AI.
We expect bold ideas, relentless drive, and the ability to turn ambiguity into opportunity. The pace is fast, the challenges are big, and the growth is unmatched. We’re not for everyone, and we’re okay with that. If you’re looking for predictable routines, this isn't the place for you. But if you’re driven to create, thrive in dynamic environments, and want a front‑row seat to the AI revolution, you’ll fit right in.
