AI in this role

ai-agents

We are entering the biggest platform shift since mobile – a $1.5T market opportunity where every enterprise is racing to adopt AI. But there is a massive problem: the legacy players (the Accentures and Wipros of the world) are failing to adapt. They are still selling armies of consultants and glacial timelines in a world that demands speed. Enter Turgon. We are the world’s first Agentic IT Modernization platform. We don’t just "do AI" by adding chatbots to broken systems. We solve enterprise problems at the root: the data and systems level. By combining elite forward-deployed engineers with our proprietary AI Agent Swarms, we map, document, and modernize massive legacy infrastructures in days, not quarters. We are turning CIOs back into strategic builders and ensuring IT infrastructure can finally transform at the speed of AI. We are looking for builders who are ready to reject the legacy consulting model and help us architect the future of the enterprise. About the Role We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to sit at the intersection of our product, engineering, and customer-facing teams. This is a role for someone who is as comfortable in a customer conversation as they are in a codebase. At Turgon, our AI agents handle the heavy lifting – but great enterprise software still requires a human who deeply understands the customer's world, can bridge the gap when automation hits its limits, and can translate messy real-world requirements into clean technical solutions. That's you. You will be the person customers trust, the person our delivery leads rely on, and the person our product team turns to when they need ground-truth signals from the field. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and genuinely enjoys working across the full spectrum from whiteboard to deployment.
