Skills: AI / Forward deployed Engineering roles:

Our forward deployed engineers are all highly AI-native (using developer tools like Claude code/codex etc. in their day-to-day workflow) to effectively build and deploy systems with high quality and speed. A strong full stack generalist is usually a good fit when they also have the expertise in the AI tooling to move quickly

Scope varies by engagement, but the work spans:

· Software development — building and maintaining production services, APIs, and application code

· Agentic AI and AI/ML systems — LLM-backed agents, retrieval pipelines, prompt and model orchestration, evaluation

· Data and modeling — data science, statistical modeling, and the pipelines that feed both

· Database and infrastructure — schema design, query performance, deployment, and the operational side of keeping it running

· Technology consulting — direct technical engagement with client stakeholders, including explaining and defending design decisions

The tech stack can vary, but the core skills we look for there are:

· Senior-level engineering experience delivering production software that other people depend on.

· Fluency in at least one primary language we use heavily (Python, TypeScript / Node, or a comparable backend language) and the ability to move between them.

· Real database competence: schema design, query performance, and knowing why the slow thing is slow.

· Cloud and deployment experience (AWS or equivalent), containers, CI/CD etc.

· The judgment to work in a production system carrying sensitive data — you understand why logging the wrong field is a serious incident, not a style question.

· Ability to work directly with non-engineers, including client stakeholders, and explain technical tradeoffs without either condescending or hiding behind jargon.

· Self-direction. Small team, high autonomy, minimal supervision by design.
