We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.\nRole Overview\nAs a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will operate at the front lines of innovation - embedded directly with subject matter experts, product, and engineering teams to rapidly design, architect, prototype, and deploy solutions that solve high-priority business problems. This is not a traditional engineering role with long delivery cycles. You will be expected to go from concept to working prototype in days, not months, while maintaining enterprise-grade standards for quality, security, and scalability.\nYou bring an exceptional combination of skills: deep hands-on engineering experience across AI agents and full-stack development, and the interpersonal skills to earn trust, drive alignment, and influence without authority. You are equally comfortable whiteboarding a system architecture with senior stakeholders and writing production code the same afternoon. You have direct experience developing agents on platforms like AWS Agent Core, and you thrive in fast, ambiguous environments where creative thinking and execution speed matter.\nKey Responsibilities\nSolution Design & Architecture\nLead solution design for complex, cross-functional data and AI problems - from initial discovery through to technical blueprint\nDefine and communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery approaches to both technical and non-technical audiences\nDesign scalable, modular systems that balance the need for speed with enterprise standards for reliability, security, and maintainability\nParticipate in architecture reviews, ensuring alignment with enterprise patterns and platform standards\nCreate clear technical documentation: architecture diagrams, data flow maps, API contracts, and solution briefs\nRapid Prototyping & Solution Delivery\nDesign and deliver working prototypes for complex data and AI problems within compressed timeframes, often days to weeks\nTranslate ambiguous business requirements into concrete technical solutions with minimal hand-holding\nBalance speed of delivery with enterprise standards - your prototypes are production-ready, not throwaway\nContinuously iterate on solutions based on direct feedback from product managers, program leads, and end users\nDevelop intuitive front-end interfaces and dashboards that bring data and AI outputs to life for business users\nApply strong UX instincts to simplify complex flows and make agent outputs accessible and actionable for non-technical stakeholders\nAI Agent Development\nDesign, build, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent systems that automate complex workflows end-to-end\nDevelop and maintain agent skills - discrete, reusable capabilities that compose into larger agentic pipelines\nImplement and extend Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients to connect AI agents with enterprise tools, APIs, and data sources\nDesign evaluation harnesses, guardrails, and monitoring pipelines to ensure agent reliability and safety in production\nStay current with the rapidly evolving agentic AI landscape and proactively introduce new techniques and tooling to the team\nIntegrate LLMs, RAG systems, and ML models into production workflows\nCollaboration & Stakeholder Engagement\nEmbed directly with product, program, and engineering teams to co-define problems and co-deliver solutions\nInfluence technical direction and build alignment across teams without relying on formal authority\nCommunicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical business stakeholders - in writing, in meetings, and in executive presentations\nMentor and elevate junior engineers, sharing patterns and practices for agentic development, prompt design, and rapid delivery\nFoster a collaborative, low-ego team culture where speed and quality go hand in hand\nQualifications\nCritical skills\n8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including solution design and architecture ownership\nDemonstrated ability to architect end-to-end systems - from requirements through deployment - with clear documentation and stakeholder communication\nHands-on experience building AI agents, including defining agent skills, tool use, memory, and multi-step reasoning\nExperience with AI-Augmented Engineering (Harness Engineering) - actively use tools like Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent assistants to accelerate coding, documentation, and problem-solving day-to-day.\nDirect experience with AWS Agent Core or equivalent - building, deploying, and operating agents in production\nWorking knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP) - including building or consuming MCP servers to connect agents with external systems\nExperience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or Semantic Kernel\nProficiency in Python and at least one front-end framework (React, Vue.js, or Angular)\nExperience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)\nExceptional communication and interpersonal skills - you can earn trust quickly, navigate ambiguity, and drive alignment across diverse teams\nComfort working in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities and high ownership expectations\nDesirable skills\nExperience with RAG architectures, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), and semantic search\nFamiliarity with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and LLM evaluation techniques\nExperience with agent observability and tracing tools (LangSmith, Arize, Weights & Biases, or similar)\nExperience with containerization and CI/CD practices (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions)\nBackground in real estate, financial services, or other data-intensive enterprise domains\nExperience facilitating technical discovery workshops, design sprints, or architecture reviews\nThis position does not provide visa sponsorship. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.\nExpected compensation for this position:\n150,000.00 - 300,000.00 USD per year\nFinal compensation packages are determined by various considerations including but not limited to candidate qualifications, location, market conditions, and internal considerations.\nLocation:\nOn-site -Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, San Francisco, CAIf this job description resonates with you, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet all the requirements.
