About the Job

Requirements

  • Be proactive and self-directed, identifying problems before they are assigned.
  • Be comfortable with ambiguity and ownership in underspecified engagements.
  • Have B2+ English and be comfortable collaborating across distributed, multicultural teams.
  • Be willing to understand and perform the client's work before coding.
  • Be credible with senior stakeholders, including leading redesign conversations with business-unit heads and scoping conversations with chief technology officers.
  • Be able to produce a phased delivery plan with deliverables, dependencies, risks, and estimates of build and run costs.
  • Have 7+ years of experience building and running production systems.
  • Have solid artificial intelligence and machine learning foundations, including the ability to reason about model failure modes.
  • Have designed and shipped production large language model applications and agentic workflows, not only demos, proofs of concept, or notebooks.
  • Have experience with agentic orchestration, including multi-step workflows, graph-based orchestration, tool use, state management, and recovery from partial failure.
  • Have experience with large language model application programming interfaces such as Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, or OpenAI, and agent frameworks.
  • Have experience building and optimizing production retrieval-augmented generation systems.
  • Be productive in unfamiliar codebases or languages, with proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript.
  • Have experience making and defending architectural trade-off decisions.
  • Have hands-on AWS production experience, including Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, Lambda, ECS, S3, SQS, ECR, or similar services.
  • Apply cloud-native delivery practices, including containers, ECS or Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, and continuous integration and delivery for AI pipelines.
  • Have built or owned an evaluation suite for a non-deterministic system and be able to explain its measurements, ground-truth process, and release gates.
  • Have experience with model and agent monitoring and drift detection.
  • Manage cost and latency using model tiering and caching, and estimate workload operating costs before deployment.
  • Have hands-on production experience with the Claude ecosystem, including Claude Code, CLAUDE.md, hooks, and skills files.
  • Be able to explain why an agent would use the Model Context Protocol rather than a REST integration.

Responsibilities

  • Work with the client and Forward Deployed Executive at engagement start to learn the function firsthand and redesign it from first principles.
  • Reach working fluency in new domains such as insurance underwriting, healthcare revenue cycle, and asset flow.
  • Design, build, and ship production generative AI systems in 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 criteria, instrument the system, and use evaluations to guide design.
  • Write production code across AI, backend services, and data pipelines, selecting tools to fit the customer.
  • Deploy systems to production on AWS, or on 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.
  • Use existing blueprints and incorporate field learnings into the baseline for future engagements.
  • Lead architecture reviews, produce technical design documents, contribute to standards, mentor engineers, and share knowledge across the team.
  • Work alongside a Forward Deployed Executive accountable for business-unit key performance indicators and align engineering work to the same outcome.
  • Own the technical direction of proposals and scoping, drive adoption, and support change management as part of the engineering work.
  • 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.
  • Experience authoring a Model Context Protocol server.
  • Experience with GCP or Azure.
  • Prior experience as a founder, chief technology officer, or engineering leader who has returned 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 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.
