Forward Deployed Staff - Education

The Role As Forward Deployed Staff - Education, you'll work across the full spectrum of what we do: building production AI systems, delivering technical training, and creating educational content. This is not a siloed role—you'll move fluidly between implementation, teaching, and content creation based on what's needed. The "Forward Deployed" Philosophy: Everyone at LevelUp Labs is a generalist. You'll be expected to contribute across engineering, training, content, and client work. However, this role has a spike in education and curriculum development —you're someone who loves teaching and creating learning experiences, while still being a strong engineer. What "spike" means: You can do all three, but your edge is in making complex things learnable. You're the person who builds something and immediately thinks about how to teach it to others. What You'll Do Build Design and implement production-grade AI systems alongside client engineering teams Build LLM-powered applications: RAG systems, agents, evaluation frameworks, etc. Own technical architecture decisions and trade-offs Write code that's maintainable, tested, documented, and built to last Debug complex issues across the stack Embed Work directly with client engineering teams as a peer, not an outside consultant Understand client constraints, existing systems, and organizational context Communicate progress and challenges to both technical and non-technical stakeholders Transfer knowledge to client teams—leave them bett
