What You’ll Do:
- Take the seat: Sit with the client and the Forward Deployed Executive at the start of an engagement. Learn the function from inside, not from a requirements doc, and redesign the function from first principles.
- Build: Design and ship production GenAI systems into the customer’s environment (cloud-native data, LLM-based, and agentic AI solutions). Implement and optimize RAG systems for production use cases.
- Write production code across the stack — AI, backend services, data pipelines. We choose tools to fit the customer.
- Take systems to production on AWS (GCP or Azure where the customer requires it): containerised, CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, and maintainable after we leave. Hand the system over to the client.
- Lead architecture reviews, produce technical design documents, and contribute to standards. Mentor engineers and share knowledge across the team.
- Own the outcome.
What You’ll Bring:
Mindset
- Proactive and self-directed; identify problems before they're handed to you.
- Comfort with ambiguity and ownership. Engagements start underspecified by design. Closing that gap is the job.
- B2+ English, comfortable collaborating across distributed, multicultural teams.
Client Engagement
- You are willing to spend time understanding and doing someone else’s job on the client's side before you write a line of code.
- Credible with senior stakeholders — you can hold a redesign conversation with a BU head and a scoping conversation with a CTO, presenting outcomes to them.
- You can produce a scoped, phased delivery plan with clear deliverables, dependencies, and risks — and estimate what it will cost to build and to run.
Technical depth
- 7+ years building and running production systems.
- Solid AI/ML foundations. You understand what the models do well enough to reason about failure modes.
- Designed and shipped to production LLM applications and agentic workflows — not demos, not POCs, not notebooks.
- Experience with LLM APIs (Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, or OpenAI) and agent frameworks.
- Strong engineering fundamentals — dropped into an unfamiliar codebase or language, you’re productive. Python and/or TypeScript proficiency; depth matters more than stack.
- Hands-on AWS production depth: Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, Lambda, ECS, S3, SQS, ECR, or similar. GCP or Azure is a plus.
- Cloud-native delivery: containers, ECS or Kubernetes, IaC, and CI/CD applied to AI pipelines.
- Cost and latency discipline: model tiering, caching, and the ability to say what a workload costs to run before it runs.
Nice to have:
- Prior experience as a founder, CTO, or engineering leader who has chosen to return to individual contribution.
- Experience in one of the industries: financial services, insurance, healthcare.
- Consulting, professional services, or other embedded customer-facing delivery.
- AWS and Claude Code Certifications.
- CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
What We Offer:
- The chance to shape how leading enterprises across LATAM, Europe, and North America adopt AI, from strategy through first deployment.
- A forward-deployed model working in small, senior teams alongside Principal Architects and Forward Deployed Engineers.
- A growing AI delivery practice where you help build the tooling and frameworks, not just use them.
- Remote-friendly culture.
- Internal training programs with full support for Claude, AWS, and other professional certifications, conference attendance.
- Career growth; we actively develop our engineers.
- Access to the latest AI tools and premium subscriptions.
- Long-term B2B collaboration.
- Private medical insurance or a budget for your medical needs.
- Paid sick leave, vacation, and public holidays.
- Equipment and all the tech you need for comfortable, productive work.
How we hire:
- Intro conversation. The role, your background and aspirations, tech questions.
- Technical interview with live engineering sessions. Real problems, your own editor, you may use an LLM assistant.
- HR Interview. Soft skills and expectations.
- HM interview. Tech questions; a live engineering session is also possible.
