Forward Deployed Software Engineer

What You Bring

• Bachelors degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related field with

7+ years of relevant professional experience.

• Deep production experience with Python and JavaScript/TypeScript across

backend and frontend, with demonstrated ability to work comfortably across the

full stack.

• Strong experience with modern frontend frameworks (such as Next.js or React) and

backend API development.

• Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred; Azure or GCP also

valued), including infrastructure-as-code tools (such as CloudFormation or

Terraform).

• Deep Working knowledge of multiple database paradigms, including relational

databases (such as PostgreSQL), document databases, and key-value stores (such

as Redis), with the ability to select the right storage technology for each problem.

• Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines (such as GitHub Actions), containerisation,

and production deployment strategies.

• Demonstrable fluency with AI coding tools (such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub

Copilot, or similar) and proven ability to design agentic engineering workflows and

train teams on AI-augmented development practices.

• Hands-on experience architecting production generative AI applications (LLM

integrations, vector databases, RAG systems, evaluation pipelines) is essential.

• Experience leading technical initiatives across multiple teams, mentoring

engineers, and establishing engineering practices is required.

• Experience navigating ambiguous problem spaces, working directly with business

stakeholders and end users, and shipping working solutions rapidly is required.

• Experience in an embedded, forward-deployed, or consulting-style engineering

model is a strong plus.

Additional Notes

• Must have exceptional communication skills and demonstrated ability to influence at

senior levels. This role requires comfort leading across ambiguous environments,

building trust-based relationships with commercial stakeholders at all levels,

developing junior and mid-level engineers, and making strategic decisions that balance

delivery speed with architectural integrity. You will shape engineering practices across

your area and be expected to lead multi-team initiatives.
