Chaos Labs is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to lead AI deployments, turning complex customer problems into production solutions. This remote role offers significant ownership and collaboration with sales and engineering teams.
Chaos Labs is building a new AI platform for the enterprise, focused on how organizations operate and create value in an AI-native world. We’re bringing years of experience building applied AI and mission-critical infrastructure to a new category of enterprise software. Previously, Chaos Labs built the leading risk management platform for on-chain finance, processing more than $5 trillion in financial volume and managing tens of billions of dollars in assets. We’ve raised $65 million from Haun Ventures, Lightspeed, Galaxy, General Catalyst, Bessemer, F-Prime, PayPal, and others. We’re building with a small team around a technically ambitious problem we believe will become increasingly important as AI reshapes how companies work. How We Work Chaos is built around high-agency, high-talent individual contributors. We keep teams small, give people meaningful ownership, and expect them to operate with autonomy, strong judgment, and a high bar for their craft. We hire people who can take an ambiguous, important problem and drive it forward — not just execute against a predefined roadmap. Titles matter less than impact, and the people closest to a problem are trusted to make decisions and own outcomes. We move fast, stay close to the work, and care deeply about building things exceptionally well. Ownership over instruction. Impact over hierarchy.
