## About the role

Cotera is looking to hire a Forward Deployed Engineer out of our New York Office to work with our enterprise team to deploy AI agents. You will be working in Cotera day in/day out to solve problems at the cutting edge of AI. You’ll get exposed to tons of GTM and Operational business problems inside companies.

## What they're looking for

- You are early in your career: 1-3 years out of college (though more seasoned is also fine!!) and you’re looking to learn quickly
- You use AI: You’re familiar with tools like Claude Code, Perplexity, CLI/MCP tools, workflows (Zapier/n8n)
- Curious and hungry: you might not know exactly what you want your career to look like 20 years from today, but you’re motivated to try different things to find out
- You’re detail oriented - people describe you as a “perfectionist” and you have a high standard for the work that you put out there
- You like talking to people: you’ll be speaking to a lot of customers, so you should be comfortable spending at least 3 hours a day on the phone
