About AuraPath AI

AuraPath AI turns advances in AI into software that changes how organizations work. We build AI agents, applications, and integrations across legal, fintech, private equity, nonprofits, and education.

We are a member of Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network and an OpenAI partner. Our team includes two Claude Ambassadors based on the US East and West Coasts.

The opportunity

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll turn customer problems into production software. Combine hands-on engineering with product judgment: understand the workflow, shape the solution, and improve it with users.

What you’ll do

- Translate customer workflows and business goals into clear technical requirements and practical delivery plans.

- Design and build AI applications, agents, and integrations across APIs, databases, and existing business systems.

- Take prototypes into production with evaluations, automated tests, access controls, monitoring, and clear documentation.

- Make thoughtful tradeoffs between model capability, reliability, latency, and cost; use conventional software where it fits best.

- Work directly with customers to demonstrate progress, explain technical decisions, and improve systems based on feedback.

- Contribute reusable components and share what you learn to improve how the team delivers.

What you’ll bring

- Strong software engineering skills in TypeScript and/or Python, including APIs, data systems, and deployment.

- Ownership of production software: you can explain your contribution, the decisions you made, and what happened after launch.

- Hands-on experience building with LLMs, including prompting, tool use or retrieval, and evaluating outputs and failure cases.

- Fluency with AI development tools such as Claude Code or Codex, backed by the ability to review, test, and debug their output.

- Clear written and spoken English and the ability to work through requirements with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

- Sound product judgment, initiative, and dependable follow-through when requirements evolve.

Helpful industry experience

Experience building software for insurance, legal, or accounting teams is a plus, including work at a vendor or consultancy serving those industries. Industry experience is not required.

Why join AuraPath

- Build at the frontier of applied AI. Work with current models and engineering tools on systems intended for daily use.

- Have a voice in what gets built. Help shape solutions and technical decisions, with ownership through deployment and iteration.

- Broaden your expertise. Work across different industries, workflows, and technology stacks while deepening your production AI skills.

- Work with an engaged AI community. Join a team active in the Claude and OpenAI ecosystems, with a Claude subscription and a budget for development tools.
