Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join our Emerging Tech team and drive cutting-edge innovation initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and client delivery, where you will build and deploy high-impact solutions in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

As an FDE, you will take full ownership of delivering solutions end-to-end—from architecture and development to testing and deployment—while working closely with stakeholders to rapidly bring ideas to life.

This is an ideal opportunity for engineers who thrive in hands-on, high-ownership roles and enjoy solving complex problems with modern technologies, including AI-driven systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy full-stack applications with a strong emphasis on backend systems
• Develop scalable services and APIs using Java and cloud-native architectures on GCP
• Build and integrate AI-powered solutions leveraging Vertex AI and agentic AI frameworks
• Own the entire software development lifecycle including development, testing (QA), deployment, and production support
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to rapidly prototype and deliver solutions
• Operate in forward-deployed environments, working closely with end users or clients to refine and iterate solutions
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in real time, ensuring high-quality delivery under tight timelines

Required Qualifications

• Strong full-stack development experience with a backend-heavy focus
• Proficiency in Java and hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
• Experience building or integrating solutions using Vertex AI and/or agentic AI systems
• Proven ability to deliver end-to-end solutions independently (development, QA, deployment)
• Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with minimal guidance
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to quickly ramp up on new technologies

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with Capacitor or other cross-platform/mobile development frameworks
• Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular, etc.)
• Exposure to microservices architecture and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
