About the Role

Forward Deployed Engineer Role Type: Full-time | Individual Contributor (Hands-on) Experience: 2-3+ years overall, with hands-on delivery using LLMs and AI development tools

The Forward Deployed Engineer closes the distance between an AI prototype and a system a team depends on in production. You are an engineer who works from inside the reality of the team you're embedded with — not from behind a ticket queue. You sit with the people who have the problem, learn how they actually operate, and build the thing that fixes it: AI agents, integrations, and the services behind them. Most of what you build connects real systems to each other, under constraints you do not control — interfaces you have to work inside, data that is rarely as clean as the documentation suggests, and a request that describes the symptom rather than the problem. Your job is to move quickly inside those constraints and put something working in front of real users. You are embedded with Bonterra's own business and product teams rather than with external clients,



so you work with the same stakeholders over months and build real depth in their domain. Then you ship it, watch real people use it, and make it better. You're measured by what runs in production and what it changes, not by tickets closed.

Responsibilities

• Embed with a team or function, learn how they work, and build the agents and integrations they need
• Take part in discovery — sit with users, watch the workflow as it actually runs, look at the real data, and help turn what you learn into a scoped piece of work with a transparent definition of done
• Build integrations end to end against third-party platforms — authentication, pagination, rate limits, error handling, and the data model underneath
• Write production Python for backend services and AI workloads, including LLM integration, tool calling, and retrieval
• Move and reshape data between systems using SQL and pipelines, and understand the data well enough to know
