# Forward Deployed Engineer, (AI)

> Valsoft Corporation · Beirut, Lebanon (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-06-19

**Workplace:** hybrid

**Department:** Research & Development

## Description

Aspire Software is looking for a **Forward Deployed Engineer, (AI)** to join our team in Lebanon.

**Here is a little window into our company:** Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.

About the Role:

As a **Forward Deployed Engineer (AI)**, you embed directly with our businesses to design and ship AI-powered solutions against real, often messy, problems. You'll move between companies and domains — building a retrieval pipeline for one business one month, standing up an agent workflow for another the next. You own problems end to end: understand the domain, scope the solution, build it, and get it into production.

This is fundamentally a builder's role. We care far more about whether you can turn a problem into working software with modern AI tooling than about the title you held before. That means we're open to two kinds of people: experienced **software developers**, and **senior product managers (or others from a product background)** who have the technical know-how to actually build things themselves. If you can ship, and you're fluent with AI tooling, the lane you came from matters less than what you can do with it.

### Why This Role Is Different

-   **Hard problems, real impact.** The projects are demanding and technically ambitious — you'll work at the frontier of what current AI tooling makes possible, on systems people actually depend on.
-   **Breadth no single company can offer.** Across finance, logistics, education, government, and automotive, you'll see a far wider range of problems, data, and constraints than you would inside one product — and get sharp at recognizing patterns across all of them.
-   **Latest tools, encouraged.** We expect you to use the best available AI development tools and to push them hard. Experimentation is part of the job, not a side project.
-   **Genuinely generous with tooling.** This is one of the real perks of the role. Our leadership structure lets us purchase tools quickly, and we're open about which AI toolsets you use — if a tool will make you faster or better, we'll get it for you without a drawn-out approval process.
-   **Autonomy.** You're trusted to go deep into a business, figure out what's worth building, and ship it.

### What You'll Do

-   Embed with portfolio businesses to identify, scope, and build AI-powered solutions to high-value problems.
-   Design and build **RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines** and **agentic systems** that integrate with each business's data and workflows.
-   Integrate large language models via APIs (**Anthropic Claude, OpenAI / GPT**, and others) into production applications.
-   Use AI-native development tools (**Cursor, Claude, Windsurf**) and automation platforms (**n8n** and similar) to build and ship quickly.
-   Take projects from problem framing through to deployed, maintainable software.
-   Move fluidly between business domains, ramping up fast on unfamiliar industries and codebases.

## Requirements

The non-negotiable is that you can build. Beyond that, we recognize two paths into this role:

-   **Senior software developers** — you've built and shipped real systems and can operate independently. _(In rare cases we'll consider a less experienced developer who is exceptionally strong with AI tooling, but senior experience is the norm.)_
-   **Senior product managers / product backgrounds** — you've worked in a product or product-management role _and_ have the genuine technical know-how to build things yourself, not just spec them. If you can take a problem and ship a working AI-powered solution, your product instincts are a real asset here.

Whichever path you come from, we also expect:

-   Hands-on experience with AI-native tools such as **Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf**, and a genuine interest in AI more broadly.
-   Comfort integrating **AI APIs** (Anthropic, OpenAI, and others) into real applications.
-   The ability to own ambiguous problems end to end and ship.
-   Adaptability — you enjoy jumping into new domains and getting productive quickly.

### Nice to Have

-   Experience **building RAG pipelines** in production.
-   Experience **building agents** / agentic workflows.
-   Familiarity with **n8n** or similar automation / orchestration platforms.
-   Exposure to any of our verticals: finance, logistics, education, government, or automotive.

### Tools & Technologies You'll Work With
