Forward Deploy Engineer

- Lead solution design for complex, cross-functional data and AI problems - from initial discovery through to technical blueprint

- Define and communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery approaches to both technical and non-technical audiences

- Design scalable, modular systems that balance the need for speed with enterprise standards for reliability, security, and maintainability

- Participate in architecture reviews, ensuring alignment with enterprise patterns and platform standards

- Create clear technical documentation: architecture diagrams, data flow maps, API contracts, and solution briefs

- Design and deliver working prototypes for complex data and AI problems within compressed timeframes, often days to weeks

- Translate ambiguous business requirements into concrete technical solutions with minimal hand-holding

- Balance speed of delivery with enterprise standards - your prototypes are production-ready, not throwaway

- Continuously iterate on solutions based on direct feedback from product managers, program leads, and end users

- Develop intuitive front-end interfaces and dashboards that bring data and AI outputs to life for business users

- Apply strong UX instincts to simplify complex flows and make agent outputs accessible and actionable for non-technical stakeholders

- Design, build, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent systems that automate complex workflows end-to-end

- Develop and maintain agent skills - discrete, reusable capabilities that compose into larger agentic pipelines

- Implement and extend Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients to connect AI agents with enterprise tools, APIs, and data sources

- Design evaluation harnesses, guardrails, and monitoring pipelines to ensure agent reliability and safety in production

- Stay current with the rapidly evolving agentic AI landscape and proactively introduce new techniques and tooling to the team

- Integrate LLMs, RAG systems, and ML models into production workflows

- Embed directly with product, program, and engineering teams to co-define problems and co-deliver solutions

- Influence technical direction and build alignment across teams without relying on formal authority

- Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical business stakeholders - in writing, in meetings, and in executive presentations

- Mentor and elevate junior engineers, sharing patterns and practices for agentic development, prompt design, and rapid delivery

- Foster a collaborative, low-ego team culture where speed and quality go hand in hand

- Demonstrated ability to architect end-to-end systems - from requirements through deployment - with clear documentation and stakeholder communication

- Hands-on experience building AI agents, including defining agent skills, tool use, memory, and multi-step reasoning

- Experience with AI-Augmented Engineering (Harness Engineering) - actively use tools like Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent assistants to accelerate coding, documentation, and problem-solving day-to-day.

- Direct experience with AWS Agent Core or equivalent - building, deploying, and operating agents in production

- Working knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP) - including building or consuming MCP servers to connect agents with external systems

- Experience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or Semantic Kernel

- Proficiency in Python and at least one front-end framework (React, Vue.js, or Angular)

- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills - you can earn trust quickly, navigate ambiguity, and drive alignment across diverse teams

- Comfort working in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities and high ownership expectations

- Experience with RAG architectures, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), and semantic search

- Familiarity with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and LLM evaluation techniques

- Experience with agent observability and tracing tools (LangSmith, Arize, Weights & Biases, or similar)

- Experience with containerization and CI/CD practices (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions)

- Background in real estate, financial services, or other data-intensive enterprise domains

- Experience facilitating technical discovery workshops, design sprints, or architecture reviews
