About the role

We are hiring a Forward-Deployed Engineer to work directly with customers and help them build with Customuse's AI creative technology. You will sit at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. One week you might be embedded with a gaming studio designing an AI asset workflow; the next, you might be shipping a feature, prototyping an image/video/3D pipeline, or turning messy customer needs into a productized internal tool.

Responsibilities

  • Work directly with customers to understand creative workflows, technical needs, and product requests
  • Build prototypes, integrations, scripts, tools, and production features that help customers succeed with Customuse
  • Translate customer feedback into clear product and engineering requirements
  • Rapidly iterate on AI workflows for image, video, 3D asset creation, customization, and deployment
  • Partner with gaming studios, creator teams, brands, and enterprise customers to help them adopt Customuse effectively

  • Identify repeatable customer needs and turn them into scalable product features
  • You might be a fit if
  • You are a product-minded engineer who likes being close to users and customers
  • You can build and ship quickly across the stack with TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, or similar
  • You have hands-on experience with AI tools, APIs, agents, LLMs, image generation, 3D generation, video, or creative automation workflows
  • You communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical customers
  • You can turn vague customer requests into concrete product decisions and distinguish one-off asks from platform opportunities
  • You enjoy fast iteration, customer calls, demos, debugging, and hands-on implementation
  • Bonus points
  • Experience with 3D tools, gaming studios, Roblox, Unity, Unreal, Blender, UEFN, WebGL, Three.js, or asset pipelines
  • Experience in forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, founding engineering, product engineering, or another customer-facing technical role
  • Experience building internal tools, customer integrations, automation workflows, APIs, SDKs, or AI-powered prototypes
  • Background in creative software, design tools, game development, AI tooling, or developer platforms
