Forward Deployed Engineer - Rapid Innovation Lab

EY is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to join its Rapid Innovation Lab in Toronto to rapidly prototype, validate and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how tax and business teams operate, building with AI coding tools as the default way of working and helping Tax professionals learn to build for themselves.

What you'll do:

• Rapidly prototype and iterate on AI-powered solutions, intelligent agents and workflow automations using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor), moving from idea to working demo in days.
• Embed with tax and business teams to identify high-value, repeatable processes worth solving.
• Develop custom integrations between AI solutions, enterprise applications, APIs, data platforms and business systems, including MCP servers.
• Hand off validated solutions to engineering and platform teams for hardening and enterprise-scale deployment, with documentation and runbooks.
• Define success metrics for each build, track results and recommend whether to scale, iterate or stop.
• Coach tax professionals and other non-engineers to build their own solutions with AI tools.

Requires practical Python/SQL skills, API and enterprise integration experience, hands-on experience building AI agents or GenAI solutions, and cloud experience (Azure, AWS or Google Cloud). Requisition ID 1760129.
