Remote

We’re building a Forward Deployed Engineering team that sits at the intersection of AI, software engineering, architecture, and business transformation.

This role is for engineers who enjoy solving ambiguous problems, working directly with stakeholders, and shipping production solutions quickly. You'll partner with business and technical teams to identify high-value opportunities, design solutions, build working products, and deploy them into production.

Rather than spending months working from fixed requirements, you'll move from problem discovery to functional solutions in days or weeks. You'll work on AI agents, enterprise integrations, automation platforms, data pipelines, and modern application development while helping drive AI adoption across the business.

What You’ll Do

• Engage directly with business stakeholders to understand workflows, challenges, and desired outcomes


• Lead technical discovery sessions and convert ambiguous problems into clear solution designs


• Design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications and agent-based systems


• Develop backend services, APIs, integrations, and automation workflows using Python

• Implement MCP-based integrations connecting AI applications to enterprise systems and data sources


• Build data pipelines and workflows supporting AI-driven applications


• Define architecture decisions, technical standards, and implementation approaches


• Deliver secure, scalable, production-ready solutions on cloud platforms


• Partner with infrastructure, product, data, and engineering teams throughout delivery

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Advanced Python development experience building production applications and APIs


• Experience designing and deploying production AI agents or agentic workflows


• Hands-on experience with AWS Bedrock


• Practical experience implementing or consuming Model Context Protocol (MCP)


• Full-stack development experience including modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, or similar)


• Strong solution architecture and systems integration experience


• Experience deploying production applications in cloud environments


• Ability to work directly with stakeholders and lead technical discovery conversations

Preferred

• AWS AgentCore experience


• Experience with LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or Semantic Kernel


• RAG architecture experience


• Vector database experience (Pinecone or similar)


• LLM evaluation, observability, and guardrails experience


• Docker and Kubernetes experience


• Experience extending AI coding assistants through plugins, skills, or custom workflows

Why This Role Is Interesting

• Opportunity to help build a growing engineering capability


• High ownership and direct business impact


• Significant exposure to AI agent architectures and enterprise AI deployment


• Ability to influence technical standards and reusable engineering patterns


• Fast-moving environment where engineers own solutions end-to-end


• Remote-first team with strong support for AI-driven innovation
