Forward Deployed AI Product Engineer

About Tribe AI At Tribe, we're on a mission to help enterprises realize the value of AI for their business. Every large enterprise wants to use AI to transform how they operate — but many don't have the capabilities to do it. That gap is our opportunity. We're an AI-native services company that helps enterprises build and deploy best-in-class AI products that deliver real business impact. We partner closely with OpenAI and Anthropic, giving us rare visibility into the most advanced models, roadmaps, and GTM strategies in the world.

Integrate AI/LLM capabilities into client-facing products with attention to latency, reliability, and user experience.

Communicate tradeoffs and product decisions clearly to both technical teammates and non-technical client stakeholders. Contribute to internal templates, component libraries, and coding standards that improve speed and consistency. About You 5+ years building digital products, with clear evidence of owning the full product loop — not just shipping code, but validating that it worked. Strong full-stack ability: React, Next.js, TypeScript on the frontend; Python or Node.js on the backend. Comfortable integrating AI/LLM APIs and building products where AI is a core part of the experience. Experi
