About this role

The Deployed Engineer role at LangChain is an opportunity for a senior technical professional to help organizations build and scale reliable production AI agents. Based in Chicago, Illinois with remote flexibility, this position suits an experienced technologist who enjoys partnering directly with customers to solve complex applied artificial intelligence challenges.

Role Overview

This position sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and go-to-market strategies, focusing on turning proof-of-concept projects into dependable production systems. Working with the Deployed Engineering team, the professional in this role guides customers across the entire lifecycle, from early pre-sales evaluations to post-deployment support and architecture advisory. Team members tackle difficult real-world engineering hurdles rather than basic research or simple demos, influencing how artificial intelligence solutions operate in enterprise environments.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborate with customer engineering teams to co-architect and build production-ready artificial intelligence agents.
Drive technical success during pre-sales phases by creating proof-of-concepts, addressing technical queries, and steering evaluations.
Support clients in launching and managing agent applications like research bots, conversational tools, and multi-step automated workflows.
Provide post-sale guidance regarding software architecture, operational best practices, and product roadmaps.
Deliver technical workshops, training sessions, and live demonstrations for developer audiences.
Collect feedback from the field to develop scalable cookbooks, reusable patterns, and sample code.
Write upstream code adjustments when necessary to improve client outcomes.
Travel to client sites up to 25 percent of the time.

Requirements

Bring six or more years of background in a related technical capacity such as software engineering, solutions engineering, customer engineering, or founding product engineering, preferably within a scale-up or startup environment.
Possess robust systems fundamentals along with strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript.
Demonstrate experience designing LLM-powered or agent-based applications that go beyond basic API calls, incorporating orchestration, failure handling, and multi-step workflows.
Show comfort interacting directly with clients through architecture reviews, proof-of-concepts, and technical assessments.
Ability to articulate technical tradecodes clearly and foster trust with developer communities.
Exhibit personal accountability for project outcomes rather than offering surface-level advice.
Maintain a bias for action and a passion for navigating ambiguous problem spaces.
Display enthusiasm for operating artificial intelligence agents within live production settings.

Nice to Have

Prior experience deploying production artificial intelligence agents utilizing LangChain, LangGraph, or alternative frameworks.
Background working with large language model guardrails, observability, or evaluation tools.
Familiarity with cloud platforms including AWS, GCP, and Azure, alongside container technology and fundamental Kubernetes concepts.
Track record of shipping and managing production software under real-world operational constraints.
