Description
Introduction
Perplexity is building AI systems that integrate directly into how enterprises operate. Our API Platform powers search, retrieval, and automation across structured and unstructured data, while Perplexity Computer extends this into the execution of an AI system that navigates tools, interacts with applications, and completes multi-step workflows. Together, these platforms form a new integration layer, connecting models, data, and enterprise systems into end-to-end workflows.
About The Role
We’re looking for Forward Deployed Engineers to work directly with customers to design and deploy these integrations in production. You’ll embed with teams, connect Perplexity into their existing stack, and build systems that automate real work.
This Role Spans Two Closely Connected Areas
Perplexity’s platforms are redefining how AI is integrated into enterprise operations. You’ll work on cutting-edge AI systems, building end-to-end workflows and integrations that solve real business problems at scale.
This is a unique opportunity to influence both product and adoption, embed AI deeply in enterprise workflows, and shape the future of how organizations operationalize AI.
