Senior Forward Deployed ML Engineer, Agents
About this role
Whether an organization is modernizing internal operations, launching AI-powered products, or transforming customer experiences, Aion takes them from concept to production on a single, unified platform.We work differently than most AI companies: our teams deploy alongside our customers, turning production-ready AI into real business outcomes in weeks, not quarters.We’re a fast-growing, VC-backed startup led by founders with a track record of successful exits. With teams across the US, UK, and India, we’re building the next generation of enterprise AI and we’re looking for exceptional people to help us scale.Who You AreYou're a hands-on AI engineer with 3-5+ years of experience building production-grade multimodal AI systems and LLM applications. Your responsibilities mirror those of a hands-on AI startup CTO you work in small teams to own delivery of high-stakes customer projects, embedding directly at client sites to architect, build, and deploy intelligent agent solutions.You're equally comfortable writing production code, presenting technical solutions to C-level executives, and debugging complex AI systems on factory floors or in customer data centers. You've shipped voice agents, video processing systems, or conversational AI to production. You thrive translating ambiguous business requirements into concrete technical solutions that create measurable impact.You're comfortable working across the full AI deployment lifecycle from use case discovery and solution architecture to multimodal agent development, MLOps pipeline implementation, and production optimization. You understand what makes agents perform well in production and how to systematically improve quality through observability and evaluation. Experience with voice AI platforms, RAG systems, and LLM orchestration frameworks is highly desirable.
