Forward Deploy Engineer (Enterprise AI)

About PunttAI

Our mission is to free humanity from meaningless work. We are building the System of Record for Enterprise Compliance, tuning hours of manual, high-stakes marketing workflows into minutes of automated precision.

We are a small, high-density team of engineers and operators. Having proven our value with global brands, we are now at the inflection point where our technical architecture meets massive scale. This is a “rocket ship” moment: we are moving beyond simple automation into a world of vision-first, agentic workflows that solve the problems generic frontier models cannot.

The Role: Forward Deploy Engineer

This is a field-facing, revenue-critical position operating at the intersection of:

• Enterprise Sales
• AI Product Configuration
• Workflow Architecture
• Product Feedback

You will partner directly with our Founding Enterprise Account Executive inside live enterprise cycles to:

• Design tightly scoped proofs of concept (POC) that prove real value
• Deploy Puntt on real customer workflows
• Define and prove measurable value
• Strengthen technical credibility in enterprise sales conversions
• Feed structured insights back into the product roadmap

Your mission: Design POCs that validate impact, accelerate enterprise trust, and convert into enterprise-wide expansions.

What You’ll Own

1. Technical Validation in Enterprise Sales

Partner in discovery to understand real workflows, translate pain into technical use cases, and assess POC readiness. You ensure POC are designed to prove value, not just demonstrate capability.

2. Proof of Concept Design & Execution

Scope and deploy focused POC with clear success criteria. Configure AI logic, iterate for accuracy, and produce impact insights tied to expansion.

3. Integration & Workflow Fit

Ensure Puntt integrates smoothly into enterprise environments by addressing APIs, data flows, and technical blockers during POC phases.

4. Product Signal Loop

Turn field friction, integration gaps, and enterprise objections into actionable product insight. You’re not just deploying the product, you’re shaping its evolution.

• Experience in enterprise SaaS environments
• Strong understanding of APIs, integrations, and workflow systems

• Experience in CPG, pharma, finance, or other regulated industries
• Experience supporting marketing, legal, or compliance teams
