Lead Forward Deployed Engineer

Zep is the memory and context layer for AI agents. As Lead Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll embed with customer engineering teams to integrate Zep into their production agent systems: diagnosing context-quality failures, designing memory architectures around their data, and shipping the integrations that make their agents actually work in the wild. This is an applied AI engineering role with a customer surface. We're not looking for ML researchers or data scientists. We're looking for engineers who have already lived through the messy reality of taking an agent from demo to production. How we work We're a small, distributed team that works closely together. We pair on hard problems, review each other's designs, and treat learning as part of the job rather than something that happens after hours. We ask a lot of questions: of customers, of teammates, of our own assumptions. When we find pain, we go fix it. We expect the same back: ask questions early, push back when you disa
