Every financial institution is asking the same question at once: how do we put agentic AI to work inside walls this critical? Very few teams have both the frontier-model access to build the answer and the regulatory depth to get it approved. We have both.\nThat depth is 26 years in the making. Praxent builds the software that banks, credit unions, lenders, insurers, and wealth platforms actually run, inside the hardest environments in enterprise software. Most firms treat those constraints as obstacles. We've built our craft around them.\nThese roles have been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company. Employees may live in the following locations: Texas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, South Carolina, Washington.\nApplicants for this position must be currently and legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future sponsorship (e.g., H-1B, J-1, F-1, CPT, OPT, etc.). Praxent will not offer immigration sponsorship or assume sponsorship of an employment visa for this position. International relocation or remote work arrangements outside of the U.S. will not be considered.\nThe mission\nAs a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you are the technical owner of a Praxent engagement. You lead discovery conversations, decide what should be built, and then build it… inside a client's environment, from end to end. You set the standard for how the rest of the engineering team builds. You are deep in the code, and you are the person the client and the team look to when the hardest calls have to be made.\n\nWhat you will own\nThe technical execution of the engagement. The system gets built, integrated, and shipped to the client's production environment on time and at quality, and you are accountable for how that happens.\nThe executive conversation. You are a trusted voice with client engineers and a credible one with client executives - translating a VP's problem into an architecture, and that architecture back into language the VP can defend to their board.\nThe architecture decisions within the engagement. You choose the patterns, integrations, and tradeoffs that fit the client's constraints, and you can defend them to their engineers.\nA team that builds well. You guide the Forward Deployed Engineers on the engagement, review their work, and raise their bar without taking the keyboard away from them.\nA system the client can own. Production-grade evals, guardrails, observability, and documentation that survive both the handoff and an audit.\n\nHow we work\nPraxent runs on a spirit of service that our clients feel from the first week. We lead with 'yes, and': we start from the client's goals and shape ourselves around how they actually work, instead of arriving with a fixed playbook.\nIn financial services, that means treating constraints like compliance, risk reviews, legacy systems, and audit and explainability requirements not as obstacles to route around, but as the design opportunity itself. The strongest forward-deployed work embraces those constraints and is better for them.\nYou will not do this alone. You will be embedded with our clients, working shoulder to shoulder with Praxent Architects and Product Managers and the client's sharpest engineers and decision-makers\n\nWhat you bring\n6+ years shipping production software, including hands-on delivery of LLM and agentic systems (RAG, agent frameworks, vector stores, evaluation and monitoring) into real environments.\nClient leadership experience. You’ve led discovery meetings, have made difficult scoping decisions, and can convey an executive presence that inspires confidence in your solutions.\nHands-on experience shipping production software, full-stack. Most of this work is Python; .NET or Node are fine substitutes, with React or Next.js on the front end.\nDepth across the stack and a major cloud, with the judgment to make sound architecture calls under real constraints.\nExperience integrating AI with legacy and governed systems, and a feel for where those integrations tend to break.\nThe ability to lead a small engineering team and to communicate decisions clearly to both technical and business stakeholders.\nExperience in banking, lending, or payments is strongly preferred, including working directly with risk and compliance partners and getting AI through model-risk or security review in a regulated organization.\nHow you work: our CAN/DO values in practice\nCare deeply. You never forget who's on the other end of the system - the loan officer, the member, the analyst at 6pm - and you build like their day depends on it.\nAlways deliver. The engagement's commitments are safe in your hands.\nNever settle. You lift the quality of everyone's work, not only your own.\nDo it together. You make the client's team and your own team better for having worked with you.\nOwn the outcome. The result is yours. Not your part of it, not the piece you were assigned - the whole thing.\nCan do. You don't wait for conditions to be right. You make them right.\nWhat you’ll love about us\nA seat at the frontier, inside an industry that matters. Praxent is an Anthropic partner and a Microsoft partner. That means partner-level enablement and direct lines into both ecosystems - applied to banks, lenders, and insurers where the work is hard and the stakes are real.\nTwenty-six years of runway. A reputation in financial services that took decades to earn. Do frontier work on solid ground.\nReal time off. 15 days PTO to start and growing every year, 9 US holidays, 5 wellness days, paid parental leave.\nThe standard stuff, done right. Medical, dental, vision, disability, accident, a wellness program, and an IRA with up to 3% match.\n A culture people vouch for. Recognized by Texas Monthly, Clutch, and Comparably. Doors are open, ideas travel upward, and nobody here says \"it's just business.”\nThe US base salary for this full-time position is targeted to be $194,000-$224,000 + benefits.
