Job Description

Datasite's Transformation Office partners across the company to improve how work gets done. Our AI Automation Engineers (aka Forward Deployed Engineers) embed directly with internal business teams to understand how they operate, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

This is a hybrid role that combines consulting, product thinking, process redesign, AI, and software engineering. You won't receive fully defined requirements—instead, you'll work with business leaders to define problems, determine the right solution, and deliver lasting operational improvements.

Sometimes the best answer is better process design. Sometimes it's AI, automation, or custom software. Technology is a means to an end—not the objective. Think Solutions Engineer + Technical Consultant + Software Engineer — but instead of selling a solution or making recommendations, you embed with the business and build it.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a traditional software engineering role where requirements are handed to you. You will define problems alongside business leaders, challenge existing processes, determine the right solution, and remain accountable for measurable business outcomes. This is a 70/30 split between hands-on engineering and business consulting.

Please note: To support collaboration with our team and business partners, we are currently accepting applications only from candidates located in the CST or EST Time Zones. 

What You'll Do

What Success Looks Like

Successful hires build trusted relationships across the business and deliver measurable operational improvements. They are evaluated on business impact, adoption, and sustainable outcomes—not the amount of code they write.

If you're energized by solving complex business problems, working directly with stakeholders, and combining AI, software engineering, and operational excellence to create lasting impact, we'd love to meet you.
