Forward Deployed Engineer
Remote, United States
About the Role
We're hiring Forward Deployed Engineers who are passionate about building high-quality software and putting AI to work where it makes the biggest difference. In this role, you'll work directly with our business teams, such as call center reps, case managers and attorneys, to find problems worth solving and ship solutions that move a measurable business result. You'll build AI agents and full-stack applications on AWS and MX2, our in-house AI platform, which more than 5,000 people across the firm use every month.
This is a hands-on engineering role on smaller teams tasked with solving one problem at a time. You'll own each solution from the first conversation to the measured result, then hand it to a permanent owner and take on the next problem. There is one title for this role, with no junior or senior levels: we care most about the business impact you deliver and how well you use AI to get there, not about years of experience alone.
Responsibilities
Embed with the business: Spend time with the teams doing the work to understand how it gets done and where it gets stuck
Pick the right problem: Agree with business owners on one measurable problem, take a baseline before building, and define how success will be measured
Lead by example: Design and implement reliable systems across the backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure on AWS
Build with AI: Build AI agents and workflows for areas such as our call center and client intake across chat, text and voice, the early steps of litigation, practice areas beyond personal injury, and new AI products the firm is building
Elevate code quality: Champion test-driven development, code hygiene, and clean architecture
Build for trust: Test and evaluate AI output, design human review where it matters, and protect client data under HIPAA and firm policy
Move fast, build right-sized: Ship working solutions quickly and improve them in production, with the reliability and observability the problem actually needs rather than over-engineering up front
Measure the result: Report the business outcome, not just the feature shipped
Champion documentation and handoff: Author technical design documents and transfer what you build cleanly to a permanent product or engineering owner
Cross-functional alignment: Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to keep every solution aligned with the MX2 roadmap
Requirements
Typically 5+ years of professional software development experience, though we weigh shipped impact and AI fluency over tenure
Strong in at least one modern programming language, and comfortable working across the full stack
Hands-on experience with agentic development: using AI coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor to plan, write, test and review production code
Hands-on experience building with large language models in production, such as Anthropic Claude or OpenAI models, including prompting, tool use, retrieval, AI agent workflows and evaluation
Production experience with AWS and modern cloud-native architectures
Demonstrated expertise in software testing, quality assurance, and CI/CD pipelines
Comfort turning a loosely defined business problem into a scoped build without a detailed spec
Exceptional communication skills, including explaining technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders in plain language
Nice to Have
Experience as a forward deployed, solutions or field engineer, or in another customer-facing engineering role
Voice AI or contact center technology, such as speech-to-text, telephony and real-time conversation
Amazon Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore or similar AI agent platforms
Salesforce or Litify experience
Experience in legal, healthcare or another regulated industry
Why Join Us
Be part of a fast-growing engineering team within a stable, established company
Build AI that people across America's largest injury law firm use every day
Opportunities for career advancement, ownership, and professional development
Get recognized for the impact you deliver, and see the difference your work makes in the business
