We are looking for a highly hands-onForward Deployment Engineerto work at the intersection ofengineering, product, AI, data, and business. The role focuses on taking technology from prototype to production by understanding real-world business problems, rapidly developing solutions, integrating them with enterprise systems, and deploying them into production environments.

The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering fundamentals with expertise inAI/ML, Generative AI, LLM applications, AI agents, and data engineering or analytics. You should be comfortable operating in ambiguous environments, working directly with stakeholders, and taking ownership of solutions from discovery through deployment, adoption, and scale.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Work directly with business and product stakeholders to understand complex, ambiguous problems and translate them into technical solutions.
• Rapidly prototype, develop, integrate, and deploy production-quality applications and AI-powered solutions.
• Own solutions end-to-end, fromdiscovery and technical design through development, deployment, adoption, and continuous improvement.
• Build applications and services using modern programming languages such asPython, Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or C#.
• Develop and integrateAI/ML, Generative AI, LLM applications, AI agents, and data-driven solutions.
• Design and consume REST APIs, microservices, distributed systems, and enterprise integrations.
• Integrate applications with existing platforms, APIs, databases, data sources, and enterprise systems.
• Develop reusable services, components, frameworks, and engineering patterns that can scale across teams.
• Work across the complete engineering lifecycle, including coding, testing, CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
• Diagnose and resolve technical issues in live production environments.
• Collaborate with Architecture, Security, Platform, Infrastructure, and DevOps teams to ensure enterprise standards are met.
• Use experimentation, data, and stakeholder feedback to validate solutions and iterate rapidly.
• Identify opportunities to apply emerging technologies, particularlyAI and GenAI, to meaningful business problems.
• Build cloud-native solutions using platforms such asGCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Document technical solutions, implementation approaches, learnings, and reusable patterns.
• Help transition successful prototypes into scalable and maintainable production capabilities.
• Contribute to engineering standards, development practices, and a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experiencewith hands-on experience building production applications.
• Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language such asPython, Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or C#.
• Strong hands-on experience withAI/ML, Generative AI, LLM applications, AI agents, and/or data engineering or analytics.
