Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Forward Deployed Engineer - New York City - **Company:** Park Inc - **Location:** New York, NY, United States - **Experience:** Experienced - **Salary:** $180,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Cursor (Graphical User Interface Elements), Open Source Technology - **Published:** July 22, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=9ce74de9d5644a7a ## About the Role * 3 to 8 years building and shipping production software end to end, with a track record of turning complex problems into clean, scalable systems. * AI as a core part of how you work: agentic coding tools raise the quality and throughput of everything you ship. * Intellectual curiosity and range: you track new models, tools, and techniques and bring what you learn back to the team. * Operational discipline: parallel workstreams across multiple clients without losing clarity or quality. * Collaborative rigor: high standards for yourself and others, active contribution to team knowledge. * Bonus: public artifacts (open source, a side project people use, a talk or post on applied AI engineering) and experience shipping a production agentic system end to end, not a POC. ## Description Working for our client, strategists scope and prioritize the bets. Forward Deployed Engineers make them real. You are the engineer who walks into a client codebase and ships the AI workflow that changes how thousands of people do their job. You work close to the problem and close to the client. Architecture decisions are yours. The code is yours. The credit and the consequences are yours. You partner with Strategists to choose the right bets, with client engineering teams to ship inside their stack, and with the latest agentic coding tools to move at speeds that were not possible a year ago. The bar is production, not demos: what counts is the workflow running on Monday morning when nobody from the company is in the room. Live engagements, to give a sense of the work: * Insurance: an agent handling tier-1 claims disputes inside a fifteen-year-old claims platform for a national insurer, cutting resolution time for real policyholders. * Healthcare: an AI routing layer designed, prototyped with Claude, and rolled out across a three-hospital health system with the client's own engineers. * Private equity: an agentic copilot over every portfolio company, built v1 to production by a single FDE and iterated with the team that uses it daily. What you'll do: * Own features end to end: architecture, implementation, deploy, and the relationship with client engineer reviewing your PR. Nothing gets handed off. * Use every agentic coding tool that gives you leverage: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, whatever ships next week. Your throughput is measured and your pay scales with it. * Ramp into unfamiliar codebases, from Fortune 500 monoliths in languages you have not touched in years to stacks built last quarter, without hand holding. * Design agent systems that are reliable, auditable, and keep humans in the loop where they belong. * Make the team better: workflow refinements from one engagement get adopted across every other engagement, so individual wins compound firm-wide. ## Related Videos - [Embracing the Hybrid Cloud: Unlocking Success with Open Source Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/883-embracing-the-hybrid-cloud-unlocking-success-with-open-source-technologies) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [".Net is too slow" was not an option](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100176-net-is-too-slow-was-not-an-option) - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) - [From developer to instructor and DevRel: navigating roles as as a woman in the tech industry](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/867-from-developer-to-instructor-and-devrel-navigating-roles-as-as-a-woman-in-the-tech-industry) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer)
