Senior Software Engineer I - Forward Deployed AI

Role Overview

The Forward-Deployed Engineer embeds directly with a Product, Tech, and Analytics (PTA) cohort to unblock AI adoption on the ground. This role requires engineers who think like internal consultants, meet teams where they are, build what they need today, and feed durable wins back into the marketplace.

What You Will Do

Embed with a PTA cohort, ship targeted enablement, build plugins, skills, hooks, and connectors that solve their highest-friction workflows, measure adoption and impact, productize wins into the platform, integrate new tools through the MCP Gateway + AWS connector layer, and feed back to the platform team and AI Unlock program.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role requires strong written communication, ability to ship end-to-end in unfamiliar codebases, direct hands-on experience with agentic coding tools, and experience integrating tools through API gateways, OAuth/M2M flows, or service meshes.

Requirements

• BS/BTech (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field
• 3+ years professional software engineering experience
• Production experience with at least one modern application stack (Python, TypeScript/Node, Go, or similar) and modern CI/CD
• Demonstrated ability to ship end-to-end in unfamiliar codebases
• Direct hands-on experience with one or more agentic coding tools in a production or near-production setting (Claude Code, Cursor, Cody, Copilot agents, Aider, or equivalent)
• Strong written communication
