Engineer I, Forward Deployed Engineer

The FDE does not carry use cases to long-term operations — clean handoff is part of the job. Why This Role Exists: Enterprise AI needs engineers who can contribute to embedded prototype work alongside domain experts. The role builds the pipeline of senior FDE capability the function needs as its portfolio grows. Contributes to prototyping under the direction of Lead and Senior FDEs — shipping working AI proofs of concept with BU teams. Builds AI-native fluency using AI coding assistants and multi-agent workflows as the default mode of work. Learns the FDE practice from more senior team members through hands-on engagements and direct mentorship. Key Responsibilities: FDE Engagement Contribution Contribute to BU use case engagements — prototyping, demoing, refining — under the direction of more senior FDEs. Embed with BU teams alongside the Lead or Senior FDE, building working relationships with BU engineers and product owners. AI-Native Engineering Operate AI agent workflows under guidance — contributing to multi-agent prototype delivery. Use AI coding assistants as the default mode of building; develop genuine fluency with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Databricks AI Assistant. Delivery & Handoff Contribute to clean handoff packages for the Solutions Engineer — documentation, runbooks, and working software. Apply existing patterns from the FDE pattern library; contribute small refinements to patterns as experience develops. Governance & Learning Support Code Orange, Responsible AI, and Accountability Report conversations during prototyping alongside more senior FDEs. Actively learn the FDE practice from more senior team members; seek feedback and apply it rapidly.
