Résumé du poste

Kaizen Resourcing is seeking Forward Deployed Engineers for a remote-first role in Portugal, with Porto and Lisbon offices available. The position offers full-time or B2B arrangements and a total package of €55,000–€66,000 per year.

You will work directly with users and client engineers across multiple workstreams, shaping ambiguous problems into deployable systems. You will own end-to-end workflow development, from discovery to prototyping and production, while navigating client security and

Qualifications

• You have shipped production software to real users and can explain your contribution from architecture through operation.
• You have built useful systems with LLMs or agents and understand prompting/context, tool use, retrieval, evaluation, and common failure modes.
• You can move from an unfamiliar business workflow to a working vertical slice without waiting for a perfect specification.
• You use AI deeply in your own engineering work and can show where it accelerated you, where it failed, and how you verified the result.
• You communicate clearly with users, engineers, and leaders, and can say “this will not work as proposed” while bringing a better path.

Responsabilités

• The working system, the smallest useful version that runs the whole workflow, then harden what earns the right to stay (across application code, APIs, data, automation, and agentic workflows)
• Technical discovery: sit with users, uncover real constraints, and turn them into a technical plan and fast learning sequence
• AI quality: evaluations, tests, observability, fallbacks, and human controls. Treat fluent output as unverified output
• Integration and production: work inside the client’s identity, security, data, and infrastructure constraints with deliberate trade-offs
• Adoption and handoff: train the team, write the runbook, and make the client progressively less dependent on you
• Reusable patterns: turn useful field learning into shared skills, evaluation sets, and building blocks
