Senior Lead, Full-stack Forward Deployed Engineer

Senior Lead, Full-Stack Forward Deployed Engineer

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

Kyndryl Consult is the fastest-growing business within the organization, serving as the front line of technical innovation and co-creation for enterprise clients globally. As part of our flagship Agentic AI Lab in Frisco, Texas, our engineering teams bridge technical rigor with real-world business impact, turning complex AI research into production-grade systems that solve enterprise challenges.

As a Senior Lead, Full-Stack Forward Deployed Engineer, you are the technical force that customers ask for by name. You will step into an ultra-fast, high-autonomy builder's paradise to turn ambitious architectural blueprints into resilient software platforms. In this senior lead role, you will take full ownership of end-to-end AI solution delivery, leading solution design, orchestrating multi-agent workflows, and guiding cross-functional teams to build and ship modern full-stack platforms.

Operating on a hybrid schedule from our physical Lab in Frisco, Texas, you will work in an iterative, rapid prototyping environment where we ship functional MVPs in weeks, not months. While your day-to-day focus is pure hands-on software development—making use of modern retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models, managing LLM API performance, and launching production systems onto major cloud hyper-scalers—you will also embed directly with enterprise clients for high-value co-creation, taking accountability for real outcomes in production environments.

Full-Stack Engineering & MVP Delivery

• Architect, build, and scale modern frontend interfaces using React, Angular, or Vue designed to handle dynamic generative UI elements and real-time streaming outputs.
• Develop robust backend APIs and data pipelines using Python, Node.js, or Type Script to connect enterprise systems with advanced language models.
• Rapidly prototype and ship functional, production-ready MVPs within weeks in a highly iterative, agile lab environment.
• Optimize application performance, ensuring fast database query execution, reliable data flows, and highly responsive rendering speeds.

Agentic AI & Knowledge Systems Architecture

• Design, build, and deploy multi-agent orchestration frameworks using Lang Chain, Auto Gen, CrewAI, Lang Graph, or Semantic Kernel that communicate, self-correct, and execute complex business workflows.
• Configure and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, integrating both structured and unstructured data sources into unified vector engines.
• Manage LLM integration challenges including API call optimization, token latencies, prompt routing, context window limitations, and system-level security.

Customer Engagement & Solution Integrity

• Partner directly with enterprise customers to understand business challenges, translating complex requirements into high-quality, fit-for-purpose technical architectures.
• Lead end-to-end technical delivery from scoping and prototyping to production deployment, prioritizing sustainable, long-term outcomes over temporary fixes.
• Bridge engineering rigor with business value, communicating technical trade-offs and solution impact confidently to both technical teams and executive stakeholders.

Field Intelligence & Platform Contribution

• Deploy and manage secure, containerized full-stack applications using Docker and Kubernetes across major cloud hyper-scalers including AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Systematically capture deployment learnings, document best practices, and share insights to continuously enhance Kyndryl's core AI platforms and frameworks.
• Collaborate daily with local engineering leads to improve deployment pipelines and cultivate an open, knowledge-sharing engineering culture.
