Descripción del empleo

We are looking for a highly experienced and technically strong Forward-Deployed Engineer (FDE) who can bridge the gap between business requirements, enterprise architecture, product engineering, and customer implementations.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in solution architecture, business analysis, system design, API integrations, cloud platforms, and enterprise application development.

This role requires someone who can work directly with business stakeholders, understand complex business workflows, translate requirements into technical specifications, design scalable solutions, and collaborate with engineering teams to deliver production-ready applications.

The candidate must possess both business and technical capabilities, with the ability to independently drive projects from requirement discovery through architecture, development coordination, deployment, and production validation.

Key Roles & Responsibilities

1. Business Analysis & Requirement Engineering

• Work directly with business stakeholders, customers, product owners, and leadership to understand business objectives.
• Conduct requirement-gathering sessions, discovery workshops, and stakeholder interviews.
• Analyze existing business processes, workflows, and operational challenges.
• Translate business requirements into functional requirements, technical specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Create detailed Business Requirement Documents (BRD), Functional Requirement Documents (FRD), and technical documentation.
• Identify process gaps, dependencies, risks, and opportunities for automation.
• Challenge unclear requirements and recommend practical, scalable solutions.

2. Enterprise Solution Architecture

• Design end-to-end enterprise application architecture based on business requirements.
• Develop scalable, secure, highly available, and maintainable system architectures.
• Define microservices architecture, service boundaries, API contracts, and integration patterns.
• Design application workflows, sequence diagrams, component diagrams, and system architecture diagrams.
• Evaluate technical approaches, frameworks, platforms, and third-party solutions.
• Define architectural standards, coding guidelines, integration standards, and best practices.
• Ensure architecture supports scalability, performance, security, multi-tenancy, and future business expansion.
• Identify technical debt and recommend architecture improvements.

3. Forward-Deployed Engineering & Implementation

• Work closely with customers and internal business teams to understand real-world operational requirements.
• Convert business problems into working technical solutions.
• Participate in solution prototyping, proof of concepts (POCs), and technical demonstrations.
• Work with engineering teams to implement business workflows and complex integrations.
• Troubleshoot complex application, integration, and production issues.
• Validate implemented solutions against business expectations.
• Drive projects from discovery and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production adoption.

4. API & System Integration Architecture

• Design and review RESTful APIs and third-party system integrations.
• Define API contracts, request/response structures, authentication, authorization, and error-handling standards.
• Design event-driven architectures using message queues and asynchronous processing.
• Understand integration patterns involving webhooks, background services, queues, and distributed systems.
• Work with external technology vendors to understand APIs, SDKs, and integration capabilities.
• Ensure reliable communication between internal applications and external platforms.

5. Cloud & Technical Architecture

• Strong understanding of cloud-native application architecture, preferably AWS.
• Understand microservices, distributed systems, containerization, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with databases, caching, messaging systems, and storage architectures.
• Design secure authentication and authorization solutions.
• Understand CI/CD, DevOps, monitoring, logging, and application observability.
• Recommend solutions for application performance, scalability, reliability, and cost optimization.

6. Product & Engineering Collaboration

• Work closely with Product Managers, UI/UX designers, developers, QA engineers, and DevOps teams.
• Convert business workflows into development-ready technical tasks.
• Review technical designs and provide architectural guidance.
• Ensure developers understand the business context behind technical requirements.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, technical reviews, and release planning.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure timely and quality delivery.

7. Documentation & Technical Governance

• Maintain architecture documents, integration specifications, API documentation, and process workflows.
• Create system context diagrams, data flow diagrams, sequence diagrams, and deployment architecture diagrams.
• Establish technical documentation standards.
• Ensure business requirements and technical implementations remain aligned.
• Maintain traceability between business requirements, technical designs, test cases, and delivered functionality.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong experience in Solution Architecture and Business Analysis.
• Strong understanding of enterprise application architecture.
• Experience with microservices and distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of REST APIs and third-party integrations.
• Experience with .NET / C# or Java-based enterprise applications.
