Forward Deployed Engineers at Domino
Code is cheap. Judgment isn't.
Anyone can prompt a model. Few can tell you which problem is worth solving, and how.
Domino's FDEs are the bridge — from AI hype to real business impact. We believe mission-critical AI outcomes are won by people, not algorithms. FDEs live inside customer environments, own the build, and ship production software that moves a customer's AI program from evaluation to execution.
What you'll do
Translate ambiguity into impact
Sit with customers — from defense to pharma to financial services — and turn messy, real-world problems into deployable AI solutions.
Real world impact
- ML pipelines generating a 4X increase in the number of patients who can be screened as positive for eligibility in clinical trials.
- 80% reduction in governance and compliance toil for a global insurance provider
- Automatic Target Recognition pipelines for underwater mines compressing missions from 1 year to 6 days with 10 fewer sailors

How you work
The principles behind our work
Deliver with excellence
You deliver applications that usher in a step change in customer efficiency or new product development.
Act fast, own it
You move with urgency and take ownership through delivery. Success means hitting milestones, removing blockers, and driving projects to completion.
Margin and efficiency matter
Everything you ship is tested, documented, and fully reproducible by any engineer dropped into a new environment. That's the bar.
One team. Win together
