About the Team
Beam’s AI Agent Deployment team sits at the intersection of AI, product, and client impact. We partner closely with customers to understand their workflows, design intelligent automation solutions, and ensure our agents deliver real business value. Our work spans workflow design, agent configuration, technical integration, and ongoing optimization. We collaborate with engineering, ML, and product teams to translate abstract problems into scalable, agentic systems that work in the real world. This is a high-context, high-ownership environment where Deployment engineers operate with autonomy, move fast, and shape both how Beam’s platform evolves and how our customers succeed.
About the Role
As a Senior AI Agent Forward Deployment Engineer at Beam, you will play a key role in delivering enterprise-grade AI automations tailored to real business processes. You’ll work directly with clients to understand their requirements, break down complex workflows, and design prompt-driven agents that solve high-impact problems. You'll also support integration efforts with client systems and ensure smooth delivery from concept to deployment.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a hands-on, fast-moving environment, with a strong technical foundation, programming skills, a process-oriented mindset, and a passion for AI. You should feel confident working with APIs, designing robust automations, and collaborating across teams to turn business needs into working solutions. If you enjoy working across clients, technology, and automation, and want to build things that work in the real world, this is the role for you.
Responsibilities
Your work will involve both prompt engineering excellence and close customer collaboration. You will be expected to:
Drive the entire lifecycle of AI automation deployment, from understanding customer requirements, through solution design, to hands-on implementation using our no-code Agent OS.
Engage directly with customers across technical and executive teams, helping them discover automation opportunities and building AI solutions that improve their operations.
Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and solutions teams to scope, define, and implement new features based on real customer needs.
Design agentic automations and engineer prompts that are scalable, efficient, and integrate smoothly into customer workflows.
Stay up to date with the latest advancements in AI and apply them to solve critical business problems and drive new features that impact the future of Beam's AI platform.
Troubleshoot technical issues and provide guidance to both customers and internal teams throughout the implementation process.
Act as a strategic technical partner, advising customers on best practices, helping them adopt AI agents, and identifying opportunities for deeper integration.
Work with client-side and internal technical teams to scope and manage API-based integrations.
Provide structured feedback from real use cases to help improve our platform.
Requirements
Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI, or a related technical field.
At least 5 years of experience in roles like Solution Engineering, IT Consulting, Implementation or Deployment Engineering.
Strong hands-on experience with prompt engineering, including writing, testing, and optimizing prompts in a structured way.
Programming skills, especially in Python or Node.js.
Solid understanding of APIs and how to use them to integrate external systems.
Project management experience, able to manage delivery timelines and client expectations.
Experience engaging directly with clients, especially around requirement gathering and solution delivery.
Analytical and process-driven mindset, able to break down business workflows and think structurally.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts.
Passion for staying up to date with AI trends, tools, and industry developments.
Nice to have:
Familiarity with no-code tools such as Zapier, Make, Relevance AI, Lindy, or similar.
Background in AI/ML or experience applying AI to business workflows.
Experience in fast-paced or startup environments.
Benefits
At Beam, we’re building an environment where ambitious people can do their best work, with clarity, purpose, and room to grow. We’re thoughtful about what we build, how we work, and who we hire. The problems we’re solving are real. The systems we’re building are complex. And the people here care deeply about craft, about speed, and about doing work that actually matters. You won’t find rigid hierarchies or endless processes here. You’ll find high trust, high standards, and a team driven by curiosity, ownership, and long-term thinking.
What you’ll find here
Ownership with clarity: You’ll drive work from idea to execution in a high-context, high-autonomy environment. We trust people to lead and follow through.
Growth that compounds: Whether you're deepening your technical expertise, exploring leadership, or learning across disciplines, we support growth paths that aren’t one-size-fits-all.
Work that matters: You’ll contribute to AI-native systems already powering real-world operations, not just prototypes or experiments.
Aligned incentives: We offer competitive compensation and meaningful equity, designed for long-term value creation, not just short-term rewards. When Beam wins, you do too.
A culture that raises the bar: You’ll work with sharp, kind teammates who value directness, curiosity, and momentum. We challenge each other to do better and support each other every step of the way.
If this sounds like the kind of work you want to do and the kind of team you want to grow with, we’d love to hear from you!
