We're seeking a Chief Forward Deployed Engineer who will function as a self-directed technical leader working closely with business stakeholders. Rather than relying on a Business Analyst or Scrum Master, you'll engage directly with clients to shape requirements and ship software ready for production use. Speed and end-to-end ownership define this role, which means weaving GitHub Copilot and other AI-driven tools into the fabric of your everyday coding practice.

Responsibilities

Act as the go-to technical contact for clients from project kickoff through completion
Convert broad business objectives into concrete technical strategies and step-by-step delivery plans
Take full responsibility for guiding projects from the earliest idea stage all the way to production launch
Exercise independent judgment when selecting architecture, tools, and implementation methods, operating with limited supervision
Work in tandem with various teams across the organization to keep technical work and business objectives moving in sync
Spot possible obstacles or risks ahead of time and craft workarounds to keep timelines intact
Coach and develop fellow engineers to elevate the team's technical capability and output
Regularly fine-tune internal processes and methods to speed up delivery while preserving high standards
Communicate project status, key technical choices, and results to business stakeholders using accessible, jargon-free language
Pivot readily in response to changing demands and client requirements without losing project momentum

Requirements

Seven-plus years of practical, applicable experience in the software engineering field
At least 2 years spent directing and overseeing engineering teams
Verified capability across the full stack, pairing .NET (C#) for backend work with Angular for frontend development
Real-world experience rolling out and maintaining applications hosted on AWS
Regular, hands-on daily engagement with GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted coding platforms integrated into standard development practices
Demonstrated skill in engaging with business audiences, gathering requirements, and running agile delivery independently, without leaning on BA or Scrum Master roles
Sharp abilities in debugging, auditing code, and securing applications, applied toward scrutinizing and polishing AI-produced code prior to release
Capable communicator with English proficiency at C1 level or beyond, able to grasp business needs and convert them into agent-based architectural designs
