Snowflake | Forward Deployed Engineer | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE

I’m part of Snowflake’s Applied AI / Forward Deployed Engineering team, and we’re hiring for two roles: Forward Deployed Engineer and Senior Forward Deployed Engineer.

We work directly with strategic customers to design, build, deploy, and improve production AI systems on Snowflake. That includes LLM applications, RAG and agentic workflows, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, observability, and production iteration using Snowpark, Cortex, and Snowflake’s native AI capabilities.

For the FDE role, we’re looking for strong engineers who can build and ship customer-facing AI systems end to end, especially if you’ve worked on LLM apps and care deeply about evals and quality. For the Senior role, we’re looking for someone who can lead multi-engineer AI engagements, mentor other engineers, and still be hands-on in architecture and implementation.

Both roles are customer-facing and involve travel, including at least 25% onsite time with strategic customers.

If you like working in ambiguity, building real AI systems instead of demos, and partnering closely with customers to get things into production, these roles are a good fit.

Opaxa | Founding Full-Stack Engineer | San Francisco | Full-time | $200K–$300K + founding equity | opaxa.ai

Opaxa is the AI agent platform that runs restaurant back-office operations. Not another dashboard — agents that take the work off the operator's plate and act: build the schedule and push it to action, place the order with distributors, audit the invoice for overcharges, draft the review reply. The operator approves what matters; the rest gets done.

The unfair part: the founder owns and runs a 40-location restaurant company with over 750 employee's — so Opaxa's first customer is a real, operating restaurant group with real data and real stakes from day one. Deep domain expertise is built in, and your work runs in real restaurants immediately, not after a six-month hunt for a design partner. Well-funded.

A working prototype is already built. Now I'm hiring a founding full-stack engineer to take it from prototype to production: own the architecture, the agent runtime, the backend, and the integrations the agents act through (Toast, Paycom, Sysco, and more), set the technical bar, and grow the team behind you.

You'd work directly with me — I own product, customers, and the domain; you own the AI and the build. We'd be hiring additional engineers and account managers within the first year.

You're a fit if you: - have shipped agentic systems to production — plan-and-act, not chatbots or wrappers - are a strong full-stack builder (Python and/or Node, Postgres, real infra) - use the latest AI tooling (Claude Code / Cursor) as your default want to own a whole product as the first engineer, and eventually lead

Stack: React/TypeScript, Python/Node, Postgres, the Anthropic API, integrations across the restaurant stack.

To apply: email me at colton@opaxa.ai with the most impressive agentic system you've personally shipped — what it did, what you owned, and what made it hard — plus your resume or links. I read every one and reply. Please write it yourself; if it's clearly AI-generated, I'll pass.

I've decided to no longer post here after the incredible amount of spam I started receiving, both in terms of direct email submissions as well as unqualified and outright fraudulent applications to my application tracking system. By fraudulent I mean: fake resumes, names stolen from real developers who work at well-known companies but either don't have a linkedin/portfolio or do have a linkedin/portfolio without a pr…

It's not a problem with HN, it's universal at this point. We had a ton of fake candidates like you described come through multiple channels.

Absolutely love this, amazing platform, I sent you my resume. It's not on there but I did TA work and Tutoring during my time attending Paul Allen School at UW, and I have really been wanting to do more work in the open source space.

Hopefully you can find my resume in the pile, but if nothing else expect to see a contribution from me in the next couple of days!
