Preferred (Bonus) * Exposure to manufacturing, industrial, or otherwise regulated/operational environments. * Familiarity with cloud deployment, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines. * Prior customer-facing, consulting, or embedded-delivery experience. ## Description The Forward Deployed Engineer is embedded directly at customer manufacturing sites, working shoulder-to-shoulder with the people who run operations. You'll partner with subject-matter experts to find the workflows worth automating, help their teams turn early prototypes into secure and maintainable production applications, and raise the bar for how AI-assisted software gets built on-site. This is a hands-on, customer-facing engineering role for someone who's equally comfortable writing production code, using agentic development tools well, and explaining a data flow to a plant manager who has never opened a terminal. The applications you build on-site aren't throwaway tools-they're the groundwork for the operational intelligence layer Perleybrook is building for the factory floor. What You'll Do * Embed at customer sites and work with subject-matter experts to identify use cases and workflows that can be converted into AI-native applications. * Help customer teams move prototypes and MVPs into robust, secure, deployable applications. * Support and advance best practices in AI-assisted software engineering across the site-helping colleagues use agentic tools effectively while ensuring the resulting code is validated for correctness, security, and maintainability. * Apply strong standards for testing, documentation, access control, and deployment so that internal tools remain dependable as they move from proof of concept into routine use. * Maintain detailed documentation for applications, data flows, and shared infrastructure to support maintainability and knowledge sharing within the customer team. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
