Job Description

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer - Agentic AI for our client, a leading technology consulting firm.

This role will work directly with client teams to design, customize, and deploy advanced AI-powered applications using Generative AI, LLMs, RAG systems, and agentic AI frameworks. The ideal candidate should be comfortable working in fast-paced environments, translating ambiguous business needs into production-ready technical solutions, and collaborating closely with product, program, and engineering teams.

What you'll do

  • Lead the solution design for complex data and AI problems, from discovery to technical blueprint.
  • Translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions.
  • Design and deliver working prototypes within short timeframes, often from days to weeks.
  • Build production-ready AI-powered applications, not just proof-of-concept prototypes.
  • Design, build, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent systems to automate complex workflows.
  • Develop reusable agent skills and agentic pipelines.
  • Implement and extend Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients to connect AI agents with enterprise tools, APIs, and data sources.
  • Integrate LLMs, RAG systems, and ML models into production workflows.
  • Design evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and monitoring pipelines to ensure agent reliability and safety.
  • Develop intuitive front-end interfaces and dashboards for business users.
  • Create technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, data flow maps, API contracts, and solution briefs.
  • Communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery approaches to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Work closely with product, program, and engineering teams to co-define problems and deliver solutions.
  • Mentor junior engineers and share best practices in agentic development, prompt design, and rapid delivery.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in Python programming and backend development.
  • Strong experience with Large Language Models, Generative AI, and agentic AI technologies.
  • Experience with data science and machine learning, including feature engineering and model evaluation.
  • Proficiency in SQL and Bash scripting.
  • Ability to design scalable, modular, reliable, and secure systems.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work with ambiguous requirements.
  • Experience working directly with clients or business stakeholders.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
  • We are looking for a hands-on engineer who can move fast, build high-quality AI solutions, and work directly with client teams. The right candidate should combine strong backend engineering skills with practical Generative AI experience, strong communication, and a collaborative, low-ego working style.

Nice to have

  • Experience with databases such as PostgreSQL and MySQL.
  • Experience with RAG architectures, AI agent frameworks, evaluation harnesses, and monitoring tools.
  • Front-end or dashboard development experience.
  • Previous consulting or client-facing delivery experience.
