About the role
About the company
The transition to a sustainable future requires discovering new mineral resources to power clean technologies and renewable energy solutions. From lithium for electric vehicle batteries, to copper for wind turbines, and rare earth elements for electronics - these minerals are the building blocks of our energy transition.
Lithosquare radically speeds up mineral exploration by combining foundational AI, geological expertise, and real-world data — to reduce uncertainty, prioritize the right targets, reduce costs and accelerate discovery.
Based in Paris, Lithosquare gathered an exceptional team of geologists, scientists, AI engineers, and data specialists to work as one — from field sampling to model optimization — and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
About the role
We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who can bridge cutting-edge AI with practical geology. In this role you’ll collaborate closely with both our internal R&D team and exploration geologists - as well as our partners - to turn raw geology data into insights while leveraging Lithosquare’s Core Platform.
You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, and you bring a proactive, solution-oriented mindset — especially when applying AI to practical, field-level challenges. The role is based in Paris with flexible remote working policy.
What you’ll do
Collaborate with our geologists and partners to surface pain points and translate them into solvable data or AI problems.
Serve as a power user and early tester of new tools and features, conducting thorough evaluations to identify improvements and provide clear feedback to engineering teams.
Master Lithosquare’s Core Platform while rapidly prototyping & refining on top of it
Act as the technical face of our product in workshops, demos, and proof-of-concept engagements, distilling complex ideas for non-technical audiences.
Work closely with Product & Technical teams to relay feedback & suggest improvements to the platform.
What we’re looking for
4+ years in Solutions Engineering, customer-facing Data Science, Pre-sales Engineering, or a similarly hybrid technical role.
Fluency in Python for data and ML and solid SQL skills.
Hands-on experience integrating or orchestrating LLM APIs and a working knowledge of prompt engineering concepts.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
Comfortable presenting prototypes, running technical workshops, and fielding tough questions from clients and scientists alike.
Passion for leveraging AI to make a positive environmental impact.
Familiarity with geology or geospatial data tooling (GeoPandas, raster/vector formats) is a plus.

🏢 Offices located in a prestigious scientific incubator in the heart of Paris
🌱 Strong culture of ownership & entrepreneurship, with clear growth paths as the company expand
🌍 Opportunity to significantly contribute to energy transition
👥 Collaborative work environment with world-class experts in geology, AI, and data science
