## About the role

Be at the forefront of how Zip transforms enterprise procurement through AI. As an AI Forward Deployed Engineer, you will embed directly inside our most strategic accounts, uncover the operational problems that are hardest to see from the outside, and build working solutions using Zip's agent infrastructure and AppStudio. You will own a small book of enterprise accounts end-to-end, with accountability not just for deploying AI but for expanding the scope of what we are solving inside each one.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years working directly with SAP Ariba
- Direct experience building with AI: AI agents or automated workflows using Claude, N8N, Make, Zapier, or similar. You can show something you built to the team
- A track record of owning complex customer engagements independently, from scoping through delivery, with accountability for outcomes rather than just outputs
- Enough technical fluency to build integrations, read API documentation, and diagnose workflow failures without needing an engineer on call
- The salary range for this role is $130,000- $170,000 OTE. The salary for this position is determined based on a variety of job-related factors that may include location, relevant experience, education, or particular skills and expertise
