Forward deployed engineer

Location: New York

About the Role: We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Forward Deployed Engineer who enjoys working directly with clients, solving real engineering problems, and using modern AI tools to improve how software is built. In this role, you’ll serve as the onshore anchor for our engineering pods—guiding delivery, shaping solutions, and helping clients adopt AI-enabled engineering practices. You will collaborate with client teams across multiple regions globally, leading conversations and driving outcomes end-to-end.

Key Responsibilities: Partner with global client engineering teams to understand goals, challenges, and priorities. Lead workshops, discovery sessions, solutioning, and technical discussions. Coordinate delivery across distributed teams to ensure clarity on scope, timelines, risks, and progress. Use modern AI tools—LLMs, agentic coding systems, intelligent IDEs, and AI development frameworks—to enhance engineering workflows. Support integration across APIs, pipelines, cloud services, and engineering toolchains. Communicate effectively with technical and business stakeholders worldwide. Mentor both client and Infosys teams in modern engineering and AI-enabled practices. Encourage experimentation, continuous learning, and innovation.

What We’re Looking For: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field. Strong hands-on software engineering experience within enterprise environments. Ability to stay current with modern AI tools, LLMs, AI development platforms, and emerging engineering technologies. Proficiency in languages like Python, Java, or TypeScript. Understanding of APIs, distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and integration patterns. Experience leading client-facing engineering or delivery engagements for global accounts. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder engagement skills. Curiosity and passion for exploring new technologies and applying them in practical ways.

Nice to Have: Experience leading multi-region engineering or transformation initiatives. Exposure to AI-enabled engineering programs or digital engineering modernization. Evidence of innovation—accelerators, POCs, tooling initiatives, or thought leadership.
