Job summary

FullStack is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our remote team. You will embed with enterprise clients, identify AI opportunities, architect systems, and deliver production-ready solutions that survive real-world use.

You will blend consulting, engineering, and operations—shaping a problem, defining data and retrieval needs, and delivering measurable value within fast cycles, while navigating regulated environments and high expectations.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience with at least one mainstream production stack.
• 1-4 years of professional experience shipping agentic AI solutions, LLM workflows, and RAG architectures in production environments.
• 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.
• Track record of leading client-facing discovery calls, asking 'why' before 'how' to decompose unstructured business problems.
• Solid understanding of architecture paradigms such as RESTful APIs, microservices, and event-driven systems.
• Well-versed in agentic orchestration tools and frameworks like LangGraph, LangChain, N8N, or direct MCP and LLM APIs.
• 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.
• Ability to identify with the goals of FullStack's clients.

Responsibilities

• Discover through workshops and process discovery with business, data, and engineering stakeholders.
• Structure the process and the spec for any automated business process, mapping current state and decisions to specs.
• Architect end-to-end agentic systems with emphasis on context and retrieval architecture, data sourcing, embeddings, and guardrails.
• Build agents, retrieval services, evaluation tooling, and data flows; prototype quickly to prove value.
• Own CI/CD, prompt/versioning, and eval suites within the pipeline.
• Operate Day 2: observability, cost management, drift, and handoff to client teams.
• Consult with CTOs and VPs, defending decisions and shaping SOWs and estimates.
