Build AI that runs inside the world's largest enterprises.
Everyone is building AI. Very few are making it work at enterprise scale.
At Lio, we're building the AI workforce for procurement. Our agents already automate mission-critical workflows for some of the world's largest companies. Every deployment brings new technical challenges. Every customer pushes the product further.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll sit at the intersection of Software Engineering, AI, Product and enterprise customers.
You'll spend your time writing production code, building integrations, solving complex system challenges, and turning customer-specific requirements into scalable product capabilities.
This isn't implementation.
This is engineering.
What you'll build
Design and build production-ready integrations across APIs, SAP, ERPs and enterprise software
Build scalable backend services and customer-facing product capabilities
Work directly with technical and business stakeholders at Fortune 500 companies
Own technical problems from discovery to deployment
Turn customer challenges into reusable product features
Debug distributed systems and production environments
Work closely with Product and Engineering to shape the roadmap
Help define how enterprise AI gets deployed at scale
We're looking for builders.
People who genuinely enjoy writing code, solving difficult technical problems and figuring things out when no playbook exists
.
You'll probably thrive here if you...
have strong software engineering fundamentals
enjoy backend, systems and integration challenges
can go from a customer conversation to production code in the same day
think in products, not projects
like ambiguity and ownership
care about clean, scalable engineering
are excited about AI and where enterprise software is heading
The best part?
Every customer problem you solve has the potential to become product used by every customer.
Why Lio?
A team of ridiculously ambitious people.
People who care more about building than politics.
