About the Role
Forward Deployed Engineers are Labelbox's technical and commercial front line inside our largest enterprise customers. You work directly with business and technical leaders to understand how their business actually runs: the processes, use cases, and workflows where AI can change outcomes. Then you design and build the solution, using the Labelbox data annotation platform and the Recursion Managed Agent platform, with a focus on agentic workflows that put AI agents and humans in the loop to run real operations.
Your success is measured by business results: new enterprise growth, and retention and expansion within existing accounts. This role blends engineering, product, and sales. You need the technical depth to build credible solutions and the salesmanship to earn trust, shape the vision, and win the deal. Identifying and solving the problem is half the job. Persuading a customer to commit to the solution is the other half. Your day to day
Work side by side with customers to identify and map their business processes, use cases, and workflows, and define the measurable outcomes they want to achieve
Propose, demonstrate, and develop solutions built on Labelbox's products and services, especially the data annotation platform and Recursion Managed Agent, designing agentic workflows that automate and augment core enterprise processes

Partner with Account Executives to win new enterprise business, identify expansion opportunities, and accurately forecast renewals
Build trusted advisor relationships with customer stakeholders and executive sponsors, and tie every engagement to business value and ROI
Drive retention and expansion by ensuring customers realize value from deployed solutions and by spotting the next workflow to take on
