The Harvest Group; Rogers (AR); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

The Harvest Group is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer in Rogers, AR to redefine how Client Services work using AI, starting with high-value processes and expanding to AI-enabled, production-ready solutions. You will partner with account managers, analysts, and product teams to design, build, and deploy end-to-end workflows that improve speed, accuracy, and value for clients.

You will own adoption, maintain strong security and data practices, and help shape repeatable approaches for future

Qualifications

• 7+ years building and shipping software in product, solutions engineering, internal tooling, or similar roles focused on solving business problems.
• Hands-on experience shipping LLM-based solutions that people rely on, including prompt and system design, retrieval over structured and unstructured data, agentic workflows, and evaluating output quality.
• Full-stack ability to build working solutions end to end, experience with React, TypeScript, .NET/C#, Python, and SQL is helpful, but not all required.
• Fluency with AI-assisted development tools as a core part of how you build (Claude Code, Codex, etc.).
• Experience leading discovery with business teams: interviewing users, observing how work really gets done, mapping processes, and running working sessions to design improvements or fully new workflows.
• A track record of taking solutions from prototype to everyday use, with attention to reliability, cost, maintainability, and adoption.
• Strong written and verbal communication with both business and technical audiences.
• Work samples to discuss during the interview, such as solutions shipped, processes redesigned, or case studies with measurable results.

Responsibilities

• Embed with Client Services teams to understand their work, tools, and pain points, including the parts of the process nobody has written down.
• Map current-state processes clearly enough that the teams who own them can review, challenge, and improve them.
• Partner with Client Services leaders and end users to design future-state workflows built with AI from the start, focusing on outcomes like time returned, faster turnaround, and fewer errors and handoffs.
• Build and ship AI-enabled solutions on Harvest Group’s platforms, including LLM-powered and agentic workflows, integrations, and data pipelines, moving quickly from proof of concept to something teams use every day.
• Partner with Technology teammates to harden, deploy, and support solutions in production, building to Harvest Group's architecture and security standards.
• Make sound decisions on where AI fits and where it doesn't, including build vs. buy, model and tool selection, human review of outputs, cost, and reliability.
• Handle client data responsibly, designing in appropriate privacy, security, and quality checks for AI outputs.
• Drive adoption through training, enablement, and hands-on support during rollout, drawing on Harvest Group’s AI fluency efforts and staying with the team until new ways of working stick.
• Help generate technical and process documentation where none exists so solutions can be maintained, reused, and extended by others.
• Define and track success measures for each engagement and communicate results to leadership.
• Codify what works into repeatable discovery and deployment approaches and reusable components that future Forward Deployed Engineers can build on.
• Share field learnings with Product and Technology leadership to inform Harvest Group's broader platform and product direction.
