From Kognitos's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Kognitos is building the future of business automation. Our platform lets companies automate complex back-office processes using plain English instead of code, powered by large language models and our own neurosymbolic reasoning engine. We work directly with enterprise customers to take the busywork out of finance, operations, and supply chain — and we move fast.
This is a Forward Deployed Engineer (Associate) role designed for recent Master's graduates who want to launch their career at a fast-moving AI company. It starts as a 4-month contract and is built to convert to a full-time Forward Deployed Engineer position for the right person — the contract period is how we both find out if it's a great long-term fit.
As an FDE, you'll sit at the intersection of our customers and our product: working alongside the FDE team to design, build, and deploy automations for real customers solving real problems. This is a customer-facing role, so we care most about maturity, judgment, and the ability to build trust with enterprise stakeholders. The technical craft — our platform, our tooling, the way we deploy — we will train you on. You'll be based on-site in our Mountain View office.
Who We're Looking For We're hiring recent Master's graduates who are done with school and ready to commit to a full-time career — not students returning for another semester. The ideal candidate brings:
Maturity and professionalism
— you carry yourself well with customers and senior stakeholders, communicate clearly, and follow through.
Strong customer-facing skills
— you listen well, ask the right questions, and can explain technical ideas to non-technical audiences with confidence and warmth.
Sound judgment and ownership
— you can navigate ambiguity, prioritize, and take responsibility for outcomes.
A long-term mindset
— you're looking to grow with one company, not for a short-term or seasonal role.
We can teach the rest. You do not need deep prior experience with our stack — solid fundamentals and the willingness to learn quickly matter far more than a specific tech checklist.
Compensation
Structure: 4-month W-2 contract with potential to convert to a full-time Forward Deployed Engineer role.
Rate: $5,000–$7,000 per month, depending on experience.
Location: Mountain View, CA
— on-site.
Start date: As soon as possible.
Final note
You do not need to match all of the listed expectations to apply for this position. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills.
