About this role
Forward Deployed Engineer, AI Staff โ MSPbots
Most MSPs know their processes are a mess. They can't write a usable SOP, don't know which of their workflows would actually make a good AI agent, and won't self-serve their way to one.
That's where you come in.
You'll sit inside the client's operation, extract the real process from the chaos, and ship a working agent on our stack โ in days, not months.
What you'll actually do:
๐น Run discovery sessions to find the 1โ3 processes worth automating (and say no to the rest)
๐น Turn a messy, undocumented process into a real spec
๐น Build the agent on our deepagents-based harness โ tools, subagents, memory, human-in-the-loop approvals
๐น Wire it into the client's real data, safely, with tenant isolation intact
๐น Run shadow-review until the client trusts it, then ship the runbook and train their team
Who we're looking for:
โ
2+ years in MSP operations (or 1+ year at MSPbots in a client-facing/delivery seat) โ you can read a ticket flow or collections process and know where the pain is
โ
Code-literate โ you don't need to write Python from scratch, but you need to catch when AI-generated code or SQL is wrong even though it runs
โ
Comfortable with ambiguity โ you can turn "our dispatch is a mess" into a spec without being handed a perfect ticket
โ
You've automated something yourself before, even informally โ a script, a workflow rule, a bot
โ
Confident on camera with a skeptical client, including when the answer is "this isn't ready to automate"
โ Willing to work between 8 AM - 5 PM CST
