NTT DATA, Inc.; New Jersey; Hybrid; USD 156,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

NTT DATA, Inc. seeks a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team in Remote, New Jersey. Forward Deployed Engineers build in client environments, turning specifications into working software quickly and hardening it for production.

In design and build, you will prototype submission intake and FNOL, deliver production services and integrations, and contribute to CI/CD, environment setup, testing, and release notes while collaborating with stakeholders and business users.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of software engineering (onshore); 4+ years offshore.
• Strong Python; working knowledge of TypeScript or Java.
• Hands-on experience building LLM applications: prompts, tool use or agents, evaluation, RAG, and vector search.
• Experience with document processing: OCR, layout-aware parsing, classification and structured extraction.
• Solid API and integration skills (REST, event-driven patterns) and cloud deployment on AWS, Azure or GCP.
• CI/CD, containerization and infrastructure-as-code experience.
• Spec FDEs: proven ability to prototype quickly and work directly with business users.

Responsibilities

• Build services, APIs and workflow logic for the model gateway and document ingestion pipeline.
• Write and maintain prompts, agent definitions and evaluators, and use evaluation results to improve extraction quality.
• Implement integration components, schemas, mappings and transformation logic for delivery into MSIG underwriting and claims systems.
• Contribute to CI/CD, environment configuration, test automation and release notes.
• Work to specifications and the prioritized backlog, and flag early when a spec is ambiguous or unworkable.
• Keep all code and artifacts in client repositories to MSIG and NTT DATA engineering standards.
• Turn specifications into working prototypes fast, often within days, so stakeholders can validate concepts on real documents.
• Iterate prototypes in the specify, prototype, validate, refine loop alongside the Domain Advisor and AI Business Analyst.
• Build early extraction pipelines for D&O and Ocean Marine Cargo documents, with source-passage traceability and confidence scoring.
• Stand up a working gateway prototype showing routing, fallback and cost logging.
• Harden accepted prototypes into build-ready designs with clear technical specs for the build team.
