We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to own full client engagements from pre-sale with a hot lead through delivery and handover. This role combines 60% software engineering with 40% strategic ownership. You will design solutions, build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, assess technical risk, and manage production incidents. You should have 7+ years of experience shipping real-world software. We are tech-agnostic, meaning we are open to considering candidates with diverse technology backgrounds — .NET/C#, Java, Python, Node.js, or similar. While .NET/C# is our primary backend language and Angular our primary frontend framework, prior experience with either is not mandatory — Vue, React, or similar works just fine., with strong backend proficiency in .NET (C#), and experience with cloud platforms. You must also be proficient in production AI integrations, including RAG systems, LLM APIs, agents, and vector databases. You will communicate directly with clients, so having experience in direct client communication is a must; also run requirement discovery sessions, and translate technical constraints into business value without a PM or BA intermediary.
