About the Job

Requirements

  • B2+ English and comfort collaborating across distributed, multicultural teams.
  • Willingness to spend time understanding and doing a client-side role before writing code.
  • Credibility with senior stakeholders, including the ability to discuss redesign with a business-unit head and scoping with a chief technology officer, and present outcomes.
  • Ability to produce a scoped, phased delivery plan with clear deliverables, dependencies, and risks, and estimate build and operating costs.
  • At least 7 years building and running production systems.
  • Solid artificial intelligence and machine learning foundations, including understanding model capabilities and failure modes.
  • Experience designing and shipping production large language model applications and agentic workflows, rather than demos, proofs of concept, or notebooks.
  • Experience with agentic orchestration, including multi-step workflows, graph-based orchestration, tool use, state management, and recovery from partial failure.
  • Experience with large language model APIs such as Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, or OpenAI, and agent frameworks.
  • Experience building and optimizing production retrieval-augmented generation systems.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals, including productivity in unfamiliar codebases or languages; proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript.
  • Experience making and defending architectural trade-off decisions.
  • Hands-on AWS production experience with services such as Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, Lambda, ECS, S3, SQS, and ECR, or similar.
  • Cloud-native delivery experience with containers, ECS or Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and continuous integration and continuous delivery applied to AI pipelines.
  • Experience building or owning an evaluation suite for a non-deterministic system, including measured outcomes, ground truth creation, and release gates.
  • Experience with model and agent monitoring and drift detection.
  • Cost and latency discipline, including model tiering, caching, and estimating workload operating costs.
  • Hands-on production experience with the Claude ecosystem, including Claude Code, CLAUDE.md, hooks, and skills files.
  • Ability to explain why an agent would prefer the Model Context Protocol to a REST integration.

Responsibilities

  • Sit with the client and Forward Deployed Executive at the start of an engagement, learn the function from inside rather than from a requirements document, and redesign the function from first principles.
  • Reach working fluency in a new domain, such as insurance underwriting, healthcare revenue cycle, or asset flow.
  • Design and ship production generative AI systems into customer environments, including cloud-native data, large-language-model-based, and agentic AI solutions; implement and optimize retrieval-augmented generation systems for production use cases.
  • Build an evaluation harness before building a feature, define success, instrument it, and use evaluations to drive design.
  • Write production code across AI, backend services, and data pipelines, selecting tools to fit the customer.
  • Take systems to production on AWS, or GCP or Azure when required by the customer, with containers, continuous integration and delivery, automated testing, monitoring, and maintainability; hand the system over to the client.
  • Start from existing blueprints and incorporate field learnings into the baseline for subsequent engagements.
  • Lead architecture reviews, produce technical design documents, contribute to standards, mentor engineers, and share knowledge across the team.
  • Work in partnership with a Forward Deployed Executive who owns the Business Unit’s key performance indicators, with work measured against the same outcome.
  • Own the technical direction of proposals and scoping, drive adoption, and treat change management as part of the engineering job.
  • Establish credibility with customer engineers and executives.
  • Shape commitments before they are made.

Desired Qualifications

  • Spec-driven development, including writing intent, constraints, and acceptance criteria before an agent builds, is a strong plus.
  • Prior experience as a founder, chief technology officer, or engineering leader who has chosen to return to individual contribution.
  • Experience in financial services, insurance, or healthcare.
  • Consulting, professional services, or other embedded customer-facing delivery experience.
  • Ability to explain agent-to-agent interoperability.
  • AWS and Claude Code certifications.
  • Continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline experience with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
  • Experience with an additional language such as Go, TypeScript, or Rust.
  • Experience with Apache Spark, Apache Airflow, or Kafka.
  • GCP or Azure experience.
  • Experience authoring a Model Context Protocol server.
