** Role Overview
** As a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer, you will operate at the front lines of innovation — 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.

You will act as the embedded technical owner across several teams simultaneously — diagnosing their workflow and data problems, then architecting and building the fix yourself. You will use modern AI coding assistants day-to-day to design and implement solutions, and you're expected to be fluent extending that toolset — building custom plugins/skills, redesigning data pipelines and data flows, and deploying agents to production via AWS Bedrock Agent Core.

At the Staff level, your impact extends beyond any single team: you define the patterns and playbooks other engineers use to deliver, and you act as the escalation point for the hardest technical and stakeholder problems across the portfolio.

You bring an exceptional combination of skills: deep hands-on engineering experience across AI agents, data architecture, and full-stack development, and the interpersonal skills to earn trust, drive alignment, and influence without authority across multiple teams  are equally comfortable whiteboarding a system architecture with senior stakeholders and shipping production code the same afternoon.  
** Key Responsibilities
*** Solution Design & Architecture
** Lead solution design for complex, cross-functional data and AI problems — from initial discovery through to technical blueprint
* Evaluate and select the right tools and architecture for each problem — no single stack applies across every team you support, so you must be able to reason across different platforms, data sources, and integration patterns
* Define and communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery approaches to both technical and non-technical audiences
* Design scalable, modular systems that balance speed with enterprise standards for reliability, security, and maintainability
* Create clear technical documentation: architecture diagrams, data flow maps, API contracts, and solution briefs
* Establish reusable architecture patterns and reference designs that other engineers adopt across engagements…
