Job description

About FullStack

FullStack is your AI-native engineering partner, built to turn AI capability into certainty. Most companies can demo AI; few can get it to production and prove what it produced. We close that gap with three capabilities, AI built into your products from the start, elite vetted talent who apply it, and transparent execution that shows value every step of the way. With now over 600 customers in North America, FullStack is one integrated partner for all your AI engineering needs. With FullStack, you move forward with confidence.

We're most proud of:

• Offering life-changing career opportunities to talented software professionals across the Americas.
• Building highly-skilled software development teams for hundreds of the world's greatest companies.
• Having delivered hundreds of successful custom software solutions, which have positively impacted the lives and careers of millions of users.
• Our 4.1-star rating on GlassDoor.
• Our client Net Promoter Score of 68, twice the industry average.

The Position

Forward Deployed Engineers sit inside the client's problem, not next to it. You embed with an enterprise team, find the work that actually warrants AI, architect the system, build it, and make it hold up in the real environment.

This is a three-way role: consultant, operator, engineer. You should be as comfortable pressure-testing a business case with a COO or VP of Engineering as you are debugging why an agent's tool-calling loop degraded after a context change. The people who succeed here can hold a discovery conversation on Monday and ship what they scoped on Thursday.

On this track, your edge is application engineering: you make agents real inside the client's actual systems, workflows, and delivery pipelines.

We work with regulated industries and Fortune 500 clients who have AI mandates, real constraints, and low tolerance for demos that don't hold up.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of professional software development experience with at least one mainstream production stack (TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Java, C#/.NET, or Go).
• 1 - 4 years of professional experience building and shipping LLM-powered and agentic AI systems beyond prototypes or demos.
• Advanced English is required.
• Successful completion of a four-year college degree is required.

• Hands-on experience with frontier AI developer tools including Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or OpenAI Codex.
• Proven experience evaluating current-state environments and defining technical roadmaps.
• Demonstrated experience with APIs, service design, event-driven and distributed systems, and data modeling.
• Experience designing and owning CI/CD pipelines, including build, test, release, environments, and deployment processes.

• Strong understanding of context and specification engineering to produce reliable AI output.
• Solid understanding of enterprise integration patterns, including APIs, webhooks, event streams, iPaaS platforms such as n8n or MuleSoft, and MCP.
• Track record of leading client-facing discovery calls, asking "why" before "how" to decompose unstructured business problems.

• Skilled at exercising end-to-end delivery ownership and managing project scope without requiring product manager supervision.
• Ability to work through new and difficult issues and contribute to libraries as needed.
• Ability to create and maintain continuous integration and delivery of applications.
• Forensic attention to detail.
• A positive mindset and a can-do attitude.
• Experience working on Agile / Scrum teams.
• Meaningful experience working on large, complex systems.
• Ability to take extreme ownership over your work. Every day is a challenge to ensure you are performing to the expectations you and your team have agreed upon.
• Ability to identify with the goals of FullStack's clients, and dedicate yourself to delivering on the commitments you and your team make to them.

What We Offer

• Competitive Salary.
• Paid Time Off (vacation, sick leave, parental leave, holidays).
• 100% remote work.
• The ability to work with leading startups and Fortune 500 companies.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) w/ 4% match.
• Ample opportunity for career advancement.
• Continuing education opportunities.

FullStack is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status.
