Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role: As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at PubMatic, you will sit at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI, embedded directly within GTM and operational teams to ship production-grade AI workflows. You will be delivering working agents, integrations, and automation that measurably improve productivity and decision-making inside real business processes. Operating in a small pod model, you will own the full technical lifecycle: discovery, integration design, build, and production rollout. Initial focus areas include GTM functions where AI can automate analysis, generate insights, and streamline day-to-day operations. This is a hybrid role based in New York, with proximity to PubMatic’s GTM teams. On-site collaboration is expected for this role. Travel to Redwood City and other PubMatic locations may be required. Your goal will be to automate entire job workflows, not just small tasks. For example, you would enable teams to 10X the amount of workload they can handle (such as 10X the number of deals managed per person, or 10X the number of DSP integrations per person) by building end-to-end agents that manage entire workflows or processes today allowing people to focus on customer interaction and exception handling. The definition of success for this role is workload ÷ team size. What You'll Do: Technical Delivery & Production Deployment Own end-to-end technical delivery across multiple AI workflow deployments, from first prototype to stable production rollout.
