Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer

Location: Remote (US) | Type: Contract (12 months) | Experience: 7 to 8 years (2+ in AI)

About the Role

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to build AI applications that automate real work inside corporate functions like Finance, HR, Legal, and Procurement. You'll prototype fast, integrate with enterprise systems, and help turn loosely defined business problems into tools people use every day.

You'll be part of a small team of forward deployed engineers working for an enterprise of roughly 50,000 people, through a global technology consulting firm. The stack centers on Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI services, and Copilot, with room to bring in custom code where low-code tools fall short.

This is a 12-month remote contract with an ASAP start and a three-step interview process. It's a strong fit for an engineer with solid fundamentals who wants to go deeper on agentic AI alongside senior FDEs.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship AI applications and agents for corporate function teams, working directly with the people who own the process
• Integrate with enterprise APIs and data platforms, designing read and write paths that fail safely
• Prototype quickly with AI-assisted development, then iterate based on what users actually need
• Apply RAG, prompt and context design, agent orchestration, and tool use (including MCP) where they fit the problem
• Provision, deploy, secure, and operate the cloud resources behind your applications, ideally on Azure
• Work alongside senior engineers and adopt the team's shared patterns and guardrails

Qualifications

Required

• 7 to 8 years of total experience, with at least 2 years working in AI
• Hands-on experience with Copilot and Cowork
• Software development experience in at least one language such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, C#, or Java
• Hands-on integration experience with enterprise APIs and data platforms, including safe read and write paths and graceful failure handling
• Working knowledge of modern AI application patterns: RAG, prompt and context design, agent orchestration, tool use, and protocols like MCP
• Hands-on cloud experience, ideally Azure, with the ability to own an application end to end
• A demonstrated ability to prototype rapidly using AI-assisted development

Nice to Have

• Microsoft Fabric experience (Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Factory, Real-Time Intelligence, Power BI, OneLake) or a comparable enterprise data platform
• Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure AI Foundry, or agent-builder platforms such as Lyzr or Moveworks
• Integrations with corporate systems of record like Oracle HCM, SAP, Workday, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, or ServiceNow

Why Join Us

You'll learn from a senior, hands-on team while doing real production work for a large enterprise, not sitting on the sidelines of a pilot. The cycles are short and the impact is easy to see.

If you want your next role to accelerate your agentic AI experience fast, this is a good place to do it.
