Distyl AI
Forward Deployed AI Engineer
Why it's interesting
Distyl is the ex-Palantir crowd running OpenAI's enterprise deployments — 'working AI systems within a quarter' is the pitch. $150–250K with 25–50% travel: this is the Palantir FDE model reborn as an OpenAI channel, staffed hard across healthcare, finance, supply chain and insurance.
The role
Forward Deployed AI Engineer at Distyl AI, an enterprise-AI firm with a strategic OpenAI partnership founded by ex-Palantir operators. Design, deploy and iterate end-to-end AI systems inside customer environments; own outcomes under real-world constraints rather than demos.
