Forward Deployed AI Engineer

Zensar Technologies
On-site
Karnataka, India
Description
What's this role about?

Join our “DevOps for Content” revolution as we partner with global brands and agencies to transform their end-to-end creative workflows – from ideation to activation – to deliver AI-powered content services with speed, scale, and governance. 

Through an AI-first experimentation approach and deep expertise in both first-party and third-party AI models, we develop new applications, platforms, and scalable patterns that unlock the GenAI-powered Content Supply Chain. We function as a continuous product innovation engine—feeding repeatable customer solutions straight into the product roadmap to accelerate product-led growth.

As a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer, you will own the end-to-end development and launch of GenAI applications through Adobe and third-party generative models. You are an AI native who will embed directly into customer teams to spin up proof points in days and co-develop features that enhance customer value. If you thrive in start-up environments—scaling products from prototype to production, pushing innovative research into real-world use cases, and owning product & business outcomes—you’ll fit right in here!
 

Here's how you'll contribute:
  
       You'll do this by:

Collaborate & Innovate: Partner with Technical Architects, Engagement Managers and Product teams to define customer requirements/use cases, facilitate technical workshops, and co-create specific GenAI solutions.
  • Prototype Rapidly: Apply an AI-first experimentation mindset—build proof points in days, iterate on feedback, and drive quick wins. UX/UI and rapid prototyping skills are a plus.
  • Engineer End-to-End: Design, build, and deploy full-stack applications and microservices—integrating Firefly APIs, Common Extensibility Platform, GenStudio for Performance Marketing, headless CMS architectures and UX/UI Designs.
  • Bridge to Product: Capture field-proven use cases and funnel them back to Product & Engineering—fueling the Firefly roadmap.
  • Automate & Scale: Develop reusable components, CI/CD pipelines, and governance checks to ensure consistent, repeatable delivery.
  • Operate at Speed: Thrive in a constantly evolving, start-up-like environment—own delivery sprints, tackle challenges on-site/remotely, and adapt to evolving AI trends.
  • Share & Elevate: Document your playbooks, prompts, and patterns in our internal knowledge base—helping the whole organization move faster.
       Core Skills:
  • Full-Stack Expertise: 3+ years as a full-stack developer or technical consultant building and launching production software (React.js/Next.js/Angular; Node.js/Java Spring Boot; REST/GraphQL, HTML, JavaScript, Java, XML).
  • AI Tinkerer:  AI-native tinkerer who embeds AI in your day-to-day workflows and spends your free time inventing and tinkering with the possibilities of AI. You keep ahead of market trends across third-party models, GPUs, and new AI applications.
  • Adobe Fluency: Deep understanding of Adobe Creative Cloud APIs/SDK/CEP, Firefly Services APIs, and Adobe Experience Cloud integrations (AEM, Workfront Fusion, AJO or equivalent experience).
  • Cloud & DevOps Savvy: AWS/Azure/GCP, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD tooling (GitLab, Jenkins, etc.).
  • Strong communicator: You translate complex AI concepts for both engineers and executives and guide customers through technical decisions aligned to business objectives.
  • Customer-Centricity:  Always prioritizing the customer and their needs and expectations first in everything you do. You are outstanding at contributing to a culture of customer-centricity among your team and your extended ecosystem.
  • Startup DNA: Thrives in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments—relentlessly seeking better, faster, more innovative ways to solve customer objectives and challenges
