Forward Deployed Engineer

Rebellions | Singapore Citizens only | Full Time

ABOUT REBELLIONS

Rebellions builds high-performance AI systems with full-stack software natively supporting PyTorch and vLLM – familiar, open, and ready for production. Our Rebel 100™ delivers the best performance per dollar per watt, purpose-built for inference from the ground up, not retrofitted from training.

With proven commercial deployments already live across enterprises and governments, and a chiplet architecture built for the most demanding AI workloads, Rebellions is making good on a simple belief: every organization and nation should be able to own and control their AI, not just access it.

About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer based in Singapore, you will be Rebellions primary on-the-ground technical resource for customers and partners across the region. The role emphasizes pre-sales technical leadership — running demos, scoping and executing PoVs, and translating customer requirements into deployable Rebellions solutions — with the technical depth to engage credibly with customer infrastructure and platform teams when the conversation gets specific.

Responsibilities and Opportunities

• Partner with the regional sales team as the lead technical resource for customer engagements, from initial technical conversations through PoV design and execution
• Build and deliver product demos, technical presentations, and benchmarking content tailored to real-world AI services such as LLM inference and vision pipelines
• Design and prototype reference architectures for customer deployments on Rebellions AI platform, including serving stack configuration, Kubernetes integration, and performance characterization
• Evaluate end-to-end inference performance (throughput, latency, energy efficiency), identify system-level bottlenecks, and optimize serving and routing strategies for customer workloads
• Engage customer technical teams — infrastructure leads, platform engineers, and ML practitioners — to walk through architecture decisions, deployment plans, and live troubleshooting
• Create clear and concise technical documentation, integration guides, and best practices for customers and partners
• Relay customer feedback to internal software and hardware engineering teams to help shape product direction and regional go-to-market strategy

Key Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• Minimum 3 years in technical roles involving AI/ML systems deployment, customer engagement, or solutions engineering
• Solid hands-on experience standing up Kubernetes-based AI inference stacks — orchestration, serving, and inference runtimes — for customer projects
• Familiarity with modern distributed LLM inference orchestration (NVIDIA Dynamo, llm-d, vLLM disaggregated serving, or equivalent KV-cache-aware systems)
• Working knowledge of Python and PyTorch
• Strong presentation and storytelling skills — comfortable running demos, leading technical discussions, and walking customers through architecture and deployment plans
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working across engineering, business, and strategy teams and engaging directly with customers
• English fluency required

Ideal Qualifications

• Prior experience in technical customer-facing roles such as Solutions Engineer, Sales Engineer, or Field Application Engineer — particularly with a pre-sales motion
• Practical familiarity with GPU infrastructure (NVIDIA DGX/HGX, NVLink, InfiniBand/RoCE), networking, and storage for AI workloads
• Solid understanding of hardware acceleration (NPU, GPU, edge AI chips) and practical experience with model optimization techniques such as quantization and pipelining
• Experience producing technical content (blogs, documentation, whitepapers) for AI/ML practitioners
• Comfortable representing the company at industry events — working trade show booths, running technical demos, and presenting at conferences
• Comfortable operating with autonomy as part of a small, fast-moving regional team
