At Tribe, we're on a mission to help enterprises realize the value of AI for their business. Every large enterprise wants to use AI to transform how they operate — but many don't have the capabilities to do it. That gap is our opportunity. We're an AI-native services company that helps enterprises build and deploy best-in-class AI products that deliver real business impact. We partner closely with OpenAI and Anthropic, giving us rare visibility into the most advanced models, roadmaps, and GTM strategies in the world.
We're looking for a Forward-Deployed AI Product Engineer who owns the full loop from user discovery to shipped product. You'll embed directly with clients, spend time with their end users, and translate what you learn into AI-powered products that make people's work meaningfully better — without waiting for a PM to tell you what to build next.
This role requires someone who can parachute into client environments, quickly develop a mental model of how users actually work, and make fast, autonomous product decisions. You're as comfortable sketching a workflow on paper with the customer as you are shipping a full-stack feature by end of week. You thrive under resource constraints, find the simple solution over the elegant-but-complex one, and care deeply about whether what you shipped actually solved the problem.
You'll collaborate closely with AI architects, infrastructure engineers, designers, and PMs within your pod — shaping end-to-end experiences from early discovery and prototypes to stable, client-facing applications. This role is equal parts product instinct and engineering craft: you'll get inside users' heads while ensuring the stack is maintainable, performant, and ready for real users.

Tribe AI is Remote-First. Most current openings on its careers site are listed as United States, Remote, while two operations roles are based onsite in New York and one recruiting role is hybrid in Lisbon, Portugal. The careers site footer lists offices in New York, San Francisco, and Lisbon.
Yes. Every open role on Tribe AI's careers site shows a published salary band directly on the posting, and every role is tagged as offering equity. US roles are banded in US dollars, and the Lisbon-based recruiting role is banded in euros.
Tribe AI runs a structured four-step process: a recruiter introduction, conversations with the team and a co-founder, and a take-home exercise or working session. The company commits to response times, saying it will come back with a clear answer and won't keep candidates waiting.
Forward-deployed is Tribe AI's default working model: instead of building from a distance, team members sit with the enterprise teams they serve, learn how those teams actually operate, and build AI that creates value from day one. The Forward Deployed AI Engineer posting states plainly that you'll be embedded with enterprise clients.
Tribe AI interviewed and scored every employee across six AI-capability dimensions and gave each person an individual growth profile. Findings from that internal AI-fluency program, including that most home-built AI tools never made it past a single laptop, went on to shape the company's quarterly priorities.
