Extend is building a modern document processing platform, reimagined with LLMs. We're on a mission to transform how the world

works with unstructured data.

As an AI Engineer at Extend, you’ll be responsible for building state-of-the-art document processing infrastructure and applied AI

product features. The work you do will impact every single customer across the millions of documents that our system ingests and

processes every month.

We’re looking to hire engineers who think creatively about problems, keep up to date on the latest in AI research, push for

real-world customer impact (not only theory), and are excited about helping businesses tackle one of their most painful problems

with AI.

WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER JOINING

We've grown revenue 4x last year to several million ARR, with our growth continuing to accelerate

We have a product loved by users and being used in mission-critical flows at enterprises (Square, Zillow, Chime) and startups

(Brex, Mercury, Checkr), and many more

The market for document processing has expanded 1000x due to LLMs, and all existing solutions are low NPS

We're punching well above our weight, supporting customer and revenue metrics with half the team size of other startups —

everyone joining at this stage will have outsized impact

We've raised our series A & de-risked the business, but there's tremendous upside ahead; now's the perfect time to join.

You'll be joining a talent dense team (e.g. former founders, world record holders) operating in a high performance culture,

in-person in NYC, with high equity ownership

We're tackling novel, unsolved problems at the intersection of LLMs, complex data processing, and human ↔ AI interfaces

You'll get a front row seat to how a successful startup is built with plenty of leadership opportunities as we grow quickly

We're a lean team, and our customer base is growing too fast for us to keep up. We're looking for talented engineers to join our

team and execute on an ambitious roadmap.

IMPACT

We're powering mission-critical data processing at companies where if we get things wrong, there are real world impacts (e.g.

missed payments, people can't move into homes on time).

Here's a few of the complex problems you’ll be working on:

Building a QA Agent to flag low confidence results

Deploy an optimizer agent in a loop that improves document performance in the background

Creating multimodal models for document layout awareness

Novel chunking strategies for handling long documents

Building data pipelines and evaluating model performance

Building a self-correcting system that automatically gets better over time

ROLE

Design novel LLM techniques for increasing the complexity of use cases and data streams that Extend can be applied to

Monitor existing models in production, understand what’s working well (and what isn’t), and run experiments to solve those

issues

Have complete ownership over the work you do — as a founding team member, you’ll have the opportunity to truly own large areas

of product and engineering and have direct relationship with customers.

Work directly with the CEO, CTO, and other founding members and help build out our team.

BENEFITS

Beyond the below, we care deeply about each of our candidates on a personal level. We take the time to understand your needs to

craft a package designed for you:

Insurance - 90% health insurance premium coverage

Relocation - for candidates based outside of NYC

Unlimited PTO policy - we trust everyone like owners, take what you need

Daily lunch & snacks covered (plus dinner if you're in the office late) - you'll never go hungry and you help pick the snacks

Unlimited token / tooling access - no handicaps on your productivity

Learning and development investment - we invest heavily in our team and support your growth

Extend is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color,

religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information,

citizenship status, marital status, pregnancy, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable

Forward Deployed Engineer (US Based)

Duvo

New York City•Posted: May 21•Deadline: Aug 17

Forward Deployed Engineer About the role FDEs are how Duvo brings AI to life inside our customers. You sit at the front line, map their workflows on the Duvo platform, improve the underlying processes, and turn the result into running agents that deliver tangible business impact. Scoping, build, debug, handover, expansion. You own the customer outcome end to end and you own the relationship that goes with it. You won't write the core product. You will write the glue: integration scripts, agent configurations, data transformations, prototypes, whatever it takes to get an agent running against a customer's actual systems. You'll spend real time inside their stack and inside their team. If you like the messy middle between AI, process, and customer, this is the role. You will be deployed directly with our clients, mostly in onsite/hybrid mode of work, you will travel a lot. What you'll do * Embed with customers from kickoff through go-live and beyond * Map customer workflows directly on the Duvo platform and decide what's worth automating, what's worth fixing first, and what's blocked * Improve the underlying processes where it matters. Don't automate broken flows, redesign them * Translate business logic into agent behavior: actions, decision rules, exception paths, fallbacks * Configure and ship agents against real customer systems (ERPs, portals, spreadsheets, email, custom tools) * Write integration code, scripts, and prototypes when the situation calls for it * Debug live agents in production environments and iterate quickly * Build and own the working relationship with customer stakeholders, from operators to sponsors * Run working sessions, hold your own with technical counterparts, and earn the right to push back * Make AI real for the customer. Move them from pilot energy to measurable business outcomes * Capture reusable patterns, templates, and runbooks so the next deployment is faster * Send recurring workflow patterns back to Product and Engineering as real signal What success looks like * Multiple agents in production across clients, with measurable business impact * Customers point to specific KPIs that moved because of your work * Customers treat you as a trusted operator and want you in the room * Process improvements you drove are visible in the customer's day-to-day, not just in the agent * Transformation Managers want you on their hardest accounts * Accounts you own expand because the relationship and the results are both there * Each deployment is faster than the last because you've left behind reusable assets Who you are Experience 5+ years in roles where you've shipped against real customer environments. We're prioritizing AI-native candidates: people who have been building, deploying, or operating AI and agentic systems in customer-facing settings, not adjacent to them. Likely backgrounds: * Forward-deployed engineering or solutions engineering at an AI-first company * Applied AI / ML engineering with direct customer exposure * Technical consulting on AI or automation projects where you owned delivery and the client relationship * Operations or product roles where you've built and shipped AI-powered tooling against messy real-world systems Retail, e-commerce, or CPG background is a strong plus. Fluency in any operational domain (supply chain, procurement, category management, merchandising, finance ops, supplier management, warehousing) helps you ramp faster on customer accounts. What matters most is that you can pick up a new business quickly, see how to improve it, and build something with AI that actually works. Skills * Hands-on with modern AI tooling: LLMs, agent frameworks, prompt engineering, evals, MCP, retrieval * Strong systems thinking and engineering judgment * Process design instinct. You can spot waste, redundancy, and bad handoffs and propose something better * Comfortable in code-adjacent territory: SQL, Python or JS scripting, APIs, JSON, webhooks, light data work * Familiarity with ERPs and enterprise stacks is a plus * Able to lead a working session, manage a stakeholder, push back on bad scope, and explain trade-offs without hiding behind jargon * Fluent English. Additional European languages are a plus Mindset * Bias to ship * Comfortable with ambiguity, half-built systems, and changing requirements * Low ego, high standards * Customer-obsessed. You build trust by being useful, not by being polished * Commercially aware and able to help customers believe in what you're building * Honest about what's working and what isn't What we offer * A small, sharp team that values ownership and candor * Real product and culture leverage from day one * Customer-facing impact: your work ships and moves the business * Competitive comp including equity * Option to trade cash for equity HOW WE HIRE We respect your time and aim to move fast: 1. Discovery call with a senior teammember (online, 30 min). We'll talk about you, how you think and whether there's mutual fit. 2. Remote task (async, time-boxed, ~1 hour). Build a small product end-to-end. Not LeetCode. 3. Deep dive to the remote task with hiring manager (online, ~1 hour). We'll go deeper on your experience, system design, product thinking, and collaboration. No trick questions — we want to see how you think and build. 4. Trial day (online or onsite, 1 day) 5. Founder interview (online, 20min) We're not looking for perfection. We're looking for someone who can walk into a customer's operation, figure out what matters, fix the process, ship the agent, and turn AI into outcomes the business can feel.
