<p>A-Players is helping <a target="_blank" href="http://Poolday.ai">Poolday.ai</a> hire a Forward Deployed Engineer to own the client-facing technical layer of their autonomous video editing platform.</p><p>Poolday runs a live system of 22+ AI agents that automate video production at scale for high-volume content teams — gaming studios, media companies, YouTubers, and brands producing hundreds of videos a month. The platform combines FFmpeg, Remotion, and LLM orchestration into a multi-agent pipeline that runs unattended against real client workloads.</p><p>This role sits at the intersection of engineering and client success. You'll confirm use cases with incoming leads, translate client briefs into production-grade skills and prompts, deploy them into the agent system, and own the onboarding until the client is live and running. When something breaks — and it will — you're the one reading the logs and fixing it.</p><p>This is not a support role. You ship code and prompts that run in production. Quality is measured in client retention, not demos.<br><br><strong>What you'll own:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Confirm use cases with new leads and validate what's possible on the platform</p></li><li><p>Write and ship production skills (FFmpeg, Remotion, LLM orchestration)</p></li><li><p>Debug agent logs, diagnose failures, iterate until reliable</p></li><li><p>Own client onboarding and activation end-to-end</p></li><li><p>Raise the quality bar of the shared skill library over time</p></li></ul><p><strong>What we're looking for:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Hands-on experience with prompt engineering or AI workflow development — in production, not just experiments</p></li><li><p>Comfortable writing code: React / Next.js frontend experience strongly preferred</p></li><li><p>A critical eye for video output — you notice when a cut, caption, or transition is off</p></li><li><p>Strong communication skills: articulate, responsive, makes clients feel in good hands</p></li><li><p>Builder mindset — you have side projects, shipped things, and learn by doing</p></li><li><p>Startup experience or high-ownership environment</p></li></ul><p><strong>Stack:</strong> FFmpeg, Remotion, LLM orchestration (OpenAI / Anthropic APIs), React / Next.js, Claude Code</p><p><strong>Location:</strong> Remote. We're prioritising Europe-based candidates (GMT ± 2). Partial overlap with US hours is a plus but not required.</p><p><strong>Interview Process:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Intro call with our recruiter (30 min) — context, fit, your background</p></li><li><p>Technical interview — dive into your experience, how you think about problems</p></li><li><p>2-day hands-on test/trial — a real use case from Poolday's platform. No LeetCode, no whiteboarding. You get a brief, you build, you show your thinking.</p></li><li><p>Soft skills interviews with co-founders Oli and Alex (x2, 30 min each)</p></li><li><p>Decision within 1 business day after final stage</p></li></ul>
