About Tessera Labs

As a Forward-Deployed Engineer (FDE) at Tessera, you will drive how global enterprises deploy AI at scale. You will own our most strategic customers and deployments, building and operationalizing AI automation in a category with no established playbook — a role where outcomes are asymmetric and a single person can be decisive. You are the technical arm of our pre-sales and post-sales motions, embedding in Fortune 500 customers whose expectations were set by a world before AI. The solutions you build and ship will replace and augment mission-critical workflows in production that previously consumed thousands of human hours and added months or years to billion-dollar project timelines.
