Role: Forward Deployment Engineer
Location: Remote
Hire Type: Contract
Role Overview
We are looking for Forward Deployment Engineers (FDEs) to work directly with customer business and technology teams to design, build, and deploy AI-driven solutions that transform real-world workflows.
This is a hybrid role requiring both product thinking (problem discovery, requirements, success metrics) and hands-on engineering (rapid prototyping through to production deployment).
The ideal candidate is comfortable operating under ambiguity, embedding with customer teams, and delivering measurable outcomes using AWS, Python, and Claude (and related AI/agent stacks).
Key Responsibilities:
- Product Discovery & Solution Shaping (PM capability)
- Forward-Deployed Execution (Client-embedded delivery)
- Hands-on Engineering (AWS + Python)
- AI / Agentic Solutions using Claude (and related stacks)
- Enablement & Adoption (“Teach the business to fish”)
Required Skills & Qualifications (Must Have):
Strong software engineering fundamentals with hands-on Python experience (APIs, microservices, automation).
Strong hands-on experience building and deploying solutions on AWS.
Experience building LLM-powered applications and workflows, including practical experience with Claude (prompting, tool-use patterns, integration into business processes).
Proven ability to translate ambiguous business problems into working solutions and deliver iteratively with stakeholders.
Excellent communication skills; comfortable facilitating workshops with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
