\nWhat if your recruiting expertise could help connect the world's leading experts to some of today's most advanced technology initiatives?
\nLabelbox powers Alignerr, a network of world-class subject matter experts who contribute their expertise to help develop, evaluate, and improve cutting-edge AI systems. We're looking for driven outbound recruiters to identify and engage highly specialized professionals for our highest-priority projects.
\nYour mission is to find exceptional domain experts (PhDs, researchers, academics, and senior industry practitioners) in fields like scientific computing, cybersecurity, finance, engineering, mathematics, and other specialized disciplines. These experts apply their knowledge to create high-quality evaluations, verification tasks, and domain-specific training environments that improve the capabilities of next-generation AI models.
\nThis isn't volume recruiting. It's precision hunting for the best minds in the world, on behalf of the projects that matter most. And you're paid for outcomes: every placement earns you a commission, with no ceiling on what you can make.

\nLabelbox is the RL data factory for advancing frontier agent capabilities. We build the data, environments, and evaluations that frontier labs use to train and judge their agents.
\nThis role sits where training meets infrastructure. You will run experiments and build systems that run them: environments agents act in, verifiers that decide whether they succeeded, and fine-tuning pipelines that turn that signal into a better model.

\nGet an inside look and hear directly from our current Forward Deployed Engineers here!
\nAbout the Role
\nThe Deployment Lead owns the successful delivery of complex customer programs from initial scoping through steady-state execution , on time, to the quality bar, and at margin. This is a senior, customer-facing role for operators who can translate a customer's technical and business requirements into clear execution plans, coordinate multiple internal workstreams, own the economics of the deployment, and ensure projects meet their throughput, quality, delivery, and margin commitments.
\nDeployment Leads sit at the intersection of customer relationship management, technical program management, and operational and financial execution. They must understand the underlying technical requirements of each program well enough to pressure-test implementation plans and communicate tradeoffs clearly with the customer , and own the unit economics well enough to protect margin while they do it.
\nThe Deployment Lead is the operations-and-margin leg of the customer team: they own delivery and the deployment's economics, partnering with the General Manager, who owns the broader customer relationship and growth. They are the primary point of accountability for the delivery of a major customer or portfolio of projects, and the customer's point of contact when timelines, requirements, or operational performance are in play. They coordinate Technical Program Managers and Forward Deployed Engineers across the account, ensuring each workstream is staffed from the pools, technically sound, and aligned with the broader customer objective.
\nThis role is equivalent in seniority to a TPM Manager, but with a stronger emphasis on customer ownership, deployment success, and margin. It is a senior destination on the TPM track and a pathway toward a General Manager role. General Managers own the broader account end-to-end, including the overall customer and researcher relationships, proposal development, account strategy, operating cadence, and the portfolio of deployments delivered for that customer.

\nThe FDE Manager leads and grows the team of Forward Deployed Engineers who own the high-level technical side of our customer data programs. FDEs scope tasks, design the pipelines and measurement that turn a customer's goal into a training signal, write the instructions that guide Alignerrs, and work out what each customer actually needs from their data. The FDE Manager owns the people who do that work , their craft, their growth, and how they're deployed across domains and customers , and is accountable for the technical quality and consistency of what the team produces.
\nThis role sits at the intersection of people leadership, technical depth, and delivery quality. The FDE Manager must understand the technical substance of our projects well enough to coach on scoping and pipeline design, pressure-test instructions, judge whether a project's data will genuinely move the customer's model, and raise the bar on measuring quality early rather than late. It's a player-coach role: you lead people, but you stay close enough to the work to set and defend the craft bar yourself.
\nThe FDE Manager reports to the Services lead and partners closely with the SPL Manager, Deployment Leads, and General Managers. A core part of the role is keeping FDEs at the right altitude , focused on higher-level technical and customer-facing work , and actively handing the day-to-day running of projects to the SPLs and Pod Leads, so the team's most expensive technical talent is never absorbed into project operations.
\nThe FDE Manager also owns FDE onboarding and is the steward of the FDE career path, which runs from FDE to FDE 2 to FDE Manager, with branches toward the Forward Deployed Researcher (FDR) track and, in time, toward General Manager.
\nIn your first several months, you'll take ownership of the FDE team, raise the bar on scoping, pipeline, and instruction quality, and get onboarding running smoothly , eligible projects defined, the instruction and Loom repository in good shape, and new FDEs reaching a staffable standard faster and more consistently. You'll build strong working relationships with the SPL Manager, Deployment Leads, and GMs, keep FDEs well-deployed and at the right altitude, and become the person the team relies on for craft and career growth.
\nOver time, you'll define how FDEs work at scale: the templates, tooling, and playbooks that let the team produce more without rebuilding from scratch, a measurement-and-quality craft bar that surfaces problems early, and a pipeline of FDEs growing
