Backed by Khosla Ventures and Mayfield with $150M+ raised, DevRev is trusted by global companies across industries.

About the team

The Applied AI Engineering team ensures our customers get the optimal experience from DevRev. As customers go through their DevRev journey, they may identify needs for integration with existing enterprise systems and services, workflow and process automation, or customization of the DevRev platform to achieve their business objectives. Our team works with customers to understand requirements and design, develop, and implement solutions to meet customer goals.

Your mission is to systematically help customers find value with DevRev by developing a thorough understanding of their needs, owning coordination between internal and external stakeholders, and engineering the solution to get the job done. You are a product expert and will use your application development and AI/ML skills to ensure our customers get the most out of the DevRev platform.

About the role

As a Forward Deployed Architect, you will serve as a hands-on senior technical architect on the Applied AI Engineering team, owning the end-to-end design and delivery of AI-driven business transformation projects.

You will work closely with pre-sales teams to scope technical integration and implementation strategies, translating business requirements into architectural solutions. Once opportunities move to post-sales, you will own the detailed technical designs from original scoping documents and drive execution — including hands-on coding to build proofs-of-concept, custom integrations, and solution prototypes that validate technical feasibility.

As the technical owner of the customer relationship, you will partner cross-collaboratively to ensure successful delivery. This position requires a unique blend of enterprise architecture expertise, AI solution design, hands-on development skills, customer empathy, and cross-functional collaboration. You will act as the connective tissue between pre-sales, customer success, engineering, and product teams, bringing our AI capabilities to life for real-world business impact.
