About Typeface
We help the world’s biggest brands move from brief to fully personalized campaigns — in days, not months. 

Founded by Abhay Parasnis and backed by Microsoft, GV, Salesforce, Lightspeed, Madrona and Menlo, we’re building category-defining technology at the intersection of creativity and AI with real impact. Join us to help shape the future of enterprise marketing. 

What You'll Do 

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will translate complex business needs into scalable technical architectures, rapidly prototype AI-driven applications, and integrate Typeface’s platform across customer ecosystems. You’ll combine full-stack engineering expertise with hands-on GenAI experience—building custom agents, workflows, and reusable components—while driving customer transformations through fast experimentation and iterative delivery. 

How You’ll Make Impact  

  • Partner with Customer Success Managers, AI Engagement Managers, and Product teams to define customer requirements, facilitate technical workshops, and co-create GenAI solutions 
  • Apply an AI-first experimentation mindset—build proof points in days, iterate on feedback, and demonstrate quick wins that build momentum for transformations 
  • Design, build, and deploy full-stack applications and microservices integrating Typeface API/SDK, Brand Hub, Arc Agents, and multimodal content generation 
  • Build custom agents and workflows tailored to specific customer use cases 
  • Develop integrations with customer systems (CMS, DAM, marketing automation, analytics) and platforms like Google Workspace, Salesforce, Adobe Experience Cloud, and Campaign Manager 360 
  • Capture field-proven use cases and funnel them back to Product and Engineering teams to inform the Typeface platform roadmap 
  • Identify patterns and opportunities for productization of custom solutions while championing customer needs in internal product discussions 
  • Develop reusable components, templates, and patterns deployable across customers with CI/CD pipelines and governance checks 
  • Create automated testing frameworks for brand compliance, content safety, and quality assurance while designing scalable architectures for enterprise-grade volumes 
  • Own delivery sprints from requirements through deployment, tackling challenges on-site or remotely while balancing multiple customer engagements 
  • Document playbooks, prompts, patterns, and best practices in internal knowledge bases and create technical guides for common use cases 
  • Share learnings across the organization, mentor other engineers, and present technical demos and case studies at customer events 

What You’ll Bring 

  • 3+ years as a full-stack developer or technical consultant with strong proficiency in React.js/Next.js/Angular, Node.js/Python/Java Spring Boot, REST/GraphQL APIs, and track record shipping production applications 
  • Extensive hands-on experience with LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Gemini), diffusion models (Stable Diffusion, DALL·E), and multimodal AI for text, images, video, and audio 
  • Deep expertise in RAG pipelines, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS), semantic search, and AI agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen) 
  • Proficiency with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, model optimization, and understanding of LLM capabilities, limitations, and hallucination mitigation strategies 
  • Cloud expertise across AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, SageMaker, Bedrock), Azure (OpenAI Service, Cognitive Services), and Google Cloud (Vertex AI, BigQuery) 
  • Strong DevOps skills including Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD (GitLab, GitHub Actions), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and monitoring tools 
  • Understanding of OAuth, JWT, API security, data encryption, and compliance requirements (SOC2, GDPR) 
  • Experience with content management systems, digital asset management platforms, marketing automation tools, and creative workflows 
  • Outstanding customer-centricity with ability to build trust quickly with enterprise technical teams and stakeholders 
  • Exceptional communication skills to translate complex AI concepts for both engineers and executives, present solutions clearly, and write comprehensive technical documentation 
  • Startup DNA: thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high ownership mentality, comfortable wearing multiple hats and tackling problems outside core expertise 

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation — including salary, equity, and 401(k)
  • Full medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
  • HSA and FSA options to support your financial wellness
  • Flexible time off — including parental leave
  • Well-being programs — resources to support your mental and physical health
  • Daily lunch & snacks
  • Mentorship & impact — work closely with top AI leaders on products that ship
