Trida AI is a Forward Deployed Engineering services company that helps enterprises design, build, and deploy production AI systems. Our engineers embed with customer teams to ship agentic workflows, retrieval and data integrations, and the evaluation and hardening work that turns pilots into dependable production systems. Trida AI is expanding its services footprint across the United States as demand for production AI delivery grows.

Trida AI deploys Forward Deployed Engineers inside enterprise customer teams to design, build, and ship production AI systems — agents, retrieval, and data integrations — and to leave behind systems the customer can operate themselves. Success is production adoption and measurable workflow impact, not a demo. Travel to customer sites up to 50% may be required depending on the engagement.

• Own a customer deployment end to end: discovery, technical scoping, system design, build, evaluation, production rollout, and handoff
• Embed with customer engineering and domain teams and build inside their systems
• Design and ship LLM agents, retrieval (RAG) pipelines, and integrations with enterprise data and APIs
• Define acceptance criteria and evaluations that gate launch readiness
• Codify what you learn into repeatable patterns, playbooks, and building blocks for the next engagement
• Feed field insights back to Trida AI delivery leadership

• 4–6 years of engineering experience, including customer-facing work
• You have built and deployed LLM-powered systems in production — RAG, agentic workflows, tool use / MCP
• High agency in ambiguity; you can work with engineers and VP-level stakeholders in the same day
• Strong written and spoken communication
