Forward Deployed AI Engineer
Lunon is an AI-native consulting firm in New York City, backed by General Catalyst. Most companies don't need another deck about AI. They need an engineer who can walk in, understand the operation, and ship. That's what we do: we embed engineers inside the business and stay until the software runs without us.
Our open-source research system ranks first on DeepResearch Bench.
The team is young and moves fast. Everyone here has a wide skill set, works with the newest tools as they land, and owns what they ship end to end. Nobody hands you a ticket.
You own the model side of an engagement: choose the right model, adapt it to the client's data, prove it works, and make it fast and cheap enough to run every day. You work beside a Forward Deployed Data Engineer who owns the data. First up: helping an ERP company make its product AI-native.
Fully remote, US-based. Lunon is headquartered in New York City.
