Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE) – Python, AWS, AI (LLM ,Agentic)

Job Title: Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE) Python AWS AI (LLM Agentic)

Location: New York NY Hybrid 3 days

Experience Level Typically 5 years of relevant experience.

Job Description 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:

1) Product Discovery & Solution Shaping (PM capability) Partner with customer stakeholders to understand current workflows pain points constraints and desired outcomes. Translate business objectives into a clear delivery plan: requirements user stories acceptance criteria and roadmap from prototype to scaled deployment. Define success metrics (e.g. cycle-time reduction automation rate accuracy adoption) and drive alignment through regular demos and updates.

2) Forward-Deployed Execution (Client-embedded delivery) Embed with client teams to whiteboard solutions build prototypes quickly deploy and iterate based on feedback. Own outcomes end-to-end-from discovery to production release stabilization and continuous improvement. Troubleshoot issues in real environments and ensure solutions are reliable maintainable and aligned to business needs.

3) Hands-on Engineering (AWS Python) Build production-grade services APIs and workflow integrations using Python (and associated libraries/frameworks). Design and deploy cloud-native components on AWS (serverless and/or container-based architectures as appropriate). Apply strong engineering practices: testing CI/CD logging/monitoring performance tuning and security-by-design.

4) AI / Agentic Solutions using Claude (and related stacks) Build production applications leveraging Claude to solve real business problems in customer environments. Develop and deliver reusable technical artefacts that support AI workflows (e.g. agents/sub agents skills integration components) used in production. Identify repeatable deployment patterns and share learnings with internal teams to improve future delivery and scalability.

5) Enablement & Adoption (Teach the business to fish) Enable customer teams to use and extend solutions independently through training playbooks documentation and operational runbooks. Drive adoption by aligning stakeholders supporting change management and ensuring solutions fit real operating models. 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. Preferred Skills (Good to Have) Experience with agentic workflow design (tool calling orchestration patterns guardrails evaluation approaches).

Familiarity with structured and unstructured data pipelines and practical understanding of monitoring/governance considerations for AI solutions Prior client-facing delivery experience in consulting field engineering or forward-deployed roles.
