You will work directly with client stakeholders, learn unfamiliar systems, and build across whatever technical boundaries the work requires - frontend, backend, infrastructure, or all three.\nYou are expected to use approved AI tools wherever they improve development without violating client constraints. You remain personally responsible for the questions you ask, the decisions you make, the evidence behind them, and the code you ship.\nThis is not a quiet ticket queue. In the same engagement, you may move between discovery, implementation, deployment, and stakeholder communication. You should be comfortable making progress with incomplete context and comfortable surfacing uncertainty early rather than working around it silently.\nResponsibilities\nEnter unfamiliar client codebases and environments and quickly build an accurate picture of the system and the problem\n\nClarify ambiguous requests directly with client stakeholders before, and while, building\n\nDesign and build solutions across the technical boundaries the engagement requires, rather than staying inside a single layer of the stack\n\nUse approved AI tools deliberately, and verify their output rather than shipping it on trust\n\nCarry work through to production - deployment, handoff, and adoption - not just a merged pull request\n\nCommunicate progress, risk, and open questions clearly and early to both technical and non-technical stakeholders\n\nAdjust your approach to the scope, stakes, and autonomy of each engagement\n\nRequired Qualifications\nStrong software engineering fundamentals, demonstrated across more than one stack or technical layer\n\nProven ability to diagnose unfamiliar systems and ambiguous requirements without extensive hand-holding\n\nDisciplined use and verification of AI-generated code and outputs - you can explain and defend anything you ship\n\nClear, direct written and verbal communication with client stakeholders in English\n\nA track record of ownership through production readiness, not just feature completion\n\nAbility to maintain synchronous working-hours overlap with the clients you are assigned to support\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience working client-side or in a consulting / professional-services model\n\nExposure to multiple cloud platforms, frameworks, or languages, rather than deep specialization in only one\n\nExperience mentoring or reviewing the work of other engineers\n\nComfort operating with limited product or technical documentation\n\nA note on fit: because this role spans clients, stacks, and domains, we evaluate what you have actually demonstrated, where your exposure is limited, and what you have not used - rather than requiring a fixed technology checklist. Specific stack, domain, and scheduling requirements for a given engagement will be shared and discussed with you as part of the process.\nCompensation & Benefits\nCompetitive salary and performance bonuses, fully remote flexibility, and ongoing career development as you take on engagements of increasing scope and autonomy.\nHow to Apply\nInterested candidates should send their resume to .","description_format":"text","description_chars":3483,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Argentina","iso":"AR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Brazil","iso":"BR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Colombia","iso":null,"kind":"region"},{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"region"},{"name":"Anguilla","iso":null,"kind":"region"},{"name":"Antigua and Barbuda","iso":"AG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Aruba","iso":"AW","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bahamas","iso":"BS","kind":"region"},{"name":"Barbados","iso":"BB","kind":"region"},{"name":"Belize","iso":"BZ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bermuda","iso":"BM","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bolivia","iso":"BO","kind":"region"},{"name":"British Virgin Islands","iso":"VG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba","iso":"BQ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Cayman Islands","iso":"KY","kind":"region"},{"name":"Chile","iso":"CL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Costa Rica","iso":"CR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Curaçao","iso":"CW","kind":"region"},{"name":"Dominica","iso":"DM","kind":"region"},{"name":"Dominican Republic","iso":"DO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Ecuador","iso":"EC","kind":"region"},{"name":"El Salvador","iso":"SV","kind":"region"},{"name":"Falkland Islands","iso":"FK","kind":"region"},{"name":"French Guiana","iso":"GF","kind":"region"},{"name":"Grenada","iso":"GD","kind":"region"},{"name":"Guadeloupe","iso":"GP","kind":"region"},{"name":"Guatemala","iso":"GT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Guyana","iso":"GY","kind":"region"},{"name":"Haiti","iso":"HT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Honduras","iso":"HN","kind":"region"},{"name":"Jamaica","iso":"JM","kind":"region"},{"name":"Martinique","iso":"MQ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Montserrat","iso":"MS","kind":"region"},{"name":"Nicaragua","iso":"NI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Panama","iso":"PA","kind":"region"},{"name":"Paraguay","iso":"PY","kind":"region"},{"name":"Peru","iso":"PE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Puerto Rico","iso":"PR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Saint Kitts and Nevis","iso":"KN","kind":"region"},{"name":"Saint Lucia","iso":"LC","kind":"region"},{"name":"Saint Vincent and the Grenadines","iso":null,"kind":"region"},{"name":"Saint-Pierre and Miquelon","iso":"PM","kind":"region"},{"name":"Sint Maarten","iso":"SX","kind":"region"},{"name":"Suriname","iso":"SR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Trinidad and Tobago","iso":"TT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Turks and Caicos Islands","iso":"TC","kind":"region"},{"name":"Uruguay","iso":"UY","kind":"region"},{"name":"United States Virgin Islands","iso":"VI","kind":"region"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Design & Creative","Digital Goods"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T22:36:31Z"}],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.474,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":33,"expected_fill_days":11,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/agilityio-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/agilityio-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T08:37:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
