Forward Deployed Engineer, MT Labs

McKesson Technology Labs is looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who combines deep software engineering expertise with curiosity about how work happens in the real world. You will spend time with the McKesson teams you build for, uncover high-value problems, and turn ambiguous needs into secure, production-ready solutions. This is a hands-on senior engineering role. You will design, code, test, deploy, and operate full-stack products that may include user interfaces, APIs, services, data pipelines, enterprise integrations, and applied AI capabilities. You will also provide technical direction, mentor engineers, and lead a delivery pod when the work requires it. You will help determine when McKesson should use an existing product, compose available capabilities, or build a new solution based on quality, risk, cost, and measurable outcomes. What You’ll Do Work directly with McKesson teams to observe workflows, identify edge cases, and understand where material cost, risk, and opportunity exist. Translate ambiguous business problems into clear technical plans and test the highest-risk assumptions through focused prototypes or minimum viable solutions. Design, build, integrate, test, deploy, and operate full-stack applications, APIs, services, data pipelines, and enterprise system integrations. Apply AI where it improves outcomes, including large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, tool calling, AI agents, and evaluation frameworks. Build evaluation datasets from representative historical work, measure solution quality, and identify failure modes before production deployment.
