🚀 About askLio
We change how the world’s biggest enterprises buy. We build virtual buyers (AI agents) that replicate how enterprise procurement works - from sourcing to negotiation. Backed by Y Combinator and leading Silicon Valley investors we’re scaling globally with blue-chip customers. If you want real ownership, direct impact, and a front-row seat to a once-in-a-generation AI shift, this is it.

You will join an ambitious and highly collaborative team of engineers, AI specialists, and product builders.

The Role
We’re looking for Forward Deployed Engineers who thrive in environments where technology meets real operational complexity.
As an FDE, you are responsible for the technical success of enterprise deployments. You will design and implement integration architectures, debug production issues, optimize performance, and ensure that our platform works reliably across diverse IT landscapes.

In this role, you will:
Build and optimize data flows, API interactions, and system interfaces
Debug complex issues across infrastructure, configurations, and external systems
Ensure secure, scalable, and reliable deployments in enterprise environments
Translate customer requirements into system-level designs
Support go-lives and ensure stable post-deployment performance
Identify recurring patterns and contribute to internal tooling and automation
Feed technical insights back into Product & Engineering
Help turn customer-specific solutions into scalable product capabilities
This is a technical, hands-on, customer-facing role — ideal for engineers who enjoy solving concrete problems and seeing their solutions run in production at global scale.

Have experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Implementation Engineer, or similar technical role

Communicate clearly and enjoy collaborating with both customers and internal teams
Like understanding how processes work, and enjoy designing technical solutions around them
Work reliably and independently in complex enterprise environments

Direct influence on product and workflow design
Work with DAX companies and global enterprises from day one
A fast-moving, ownership-driven environment with close founder access
A front-row seat to one of the most significant AI transformations in enterprise operations
