Type: Part-Time

Location: Remote

Experience: 5+ years of engineering experience (Minimum 2+ years strictly as a Forward Deployed

Engineer / Customer-Facing Production Engineer)

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to act as a Part-Time Course

Mentor/Instructor.

In this role, you won't just teach theory—you will bridge the gap between building software and making software work in complex enterprise environments. You will mentor aspiring engineers,

review client-style capstone projects, host live Q&A;/debugging sessions, and ensure our students develop the production-first mindset required at companies like Palantir, scale-up AI startups, and top tech consultancies.

Key Responsibilities

 Lead 2–3 hours of live sessions and Q&A;

 Evaluate students’ production code, API integrations, data pipeline architectures, and low-

code/no-code AI agent workflows.

 Help design realistic "client-style" scenarios, dealing with messy data, changing requirements,

and enterprise integration constraints.

 Provide actionable career coaching, mock technical interviews, and guidance on how to position FDE skills on resumes.

Key Requirements





 5+ Years Total Engineering Experience: Robust software engineering foundation in Python,

TypeScript/JavaScript, or Go.

 Forward Deployed Experience: Proven track record working directly with clients/enterprise stakeholders to deploy, integrate, and operationalize custom solutions in production.

 Enterprise & Cloud Stack: Experience with modern data pipelines, cloud deployment

(AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), microservices, and API orchestration.

 AI & Agentic Workflows: Hands-on experience with LLM orchestration (LangChain,

LlamaIndex), RAG architectures, and low-code/no-code agent tooling (e.g., n8n, Flowise,

Make, Dify, AutoGen).

 Communication & Empathy: Ability to explain complex architecture choices, debug messy client environments live, and give constructive code feedback.

 Enjoys teaching, pairing, and mentoring junior/mid-level developers.

Commitment & Compensation

 Time Commitment: 10 hours per week (Fixed weekend slots for live sessions).

-  Compensation: Competitive hourly rate / retainer based on experience level.
