At Liatrio, we enable real transformation. We help industry-leading enterprises break free from legacy systems and adopt AI that reshapes how teams build, deliver, and thrive at scale.
We partner directly with enterprise teams to embed AI-native practices into delivery by accelerating modernization, reducing risk, and shipping production-grade AI systems that set the standard for the industry.
Our people embed directly inside client organizations, leading hands-on AI enablement and transformations that reshape how entire enterprises build and operate at scale.
If you’re ready to lead real AI transformation, this is where you belong.
We are seeking Lead Forward Deployed Engineers who thrive on shipping production software, solving complex systems problems, and pioneering AI-first engineering workflows.
As a Lead Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you own the technical execution and architecture for your workstream. Leading a small team of engineers, you will deliver high-impact software while embedded directly within client engineering teams. In this role, you will partner closely with client leadership and account leads to align delivery with strategic goals, model AI-first engineering practices, and elevate client teams through active pairing and mentorship.
Owning the technical delivery, architecture, and code quality for your workstream: making key technical decisions, documenting tradeoffs, and ensuring the team builds coherent, maintainable systems
Writing and reviewing production code across the full stack: setting the technical bar, reviewing PRs, and staying actively involved in direct implementation alongside your team
Integrating AI and LLM capabilities into client applications: designing and implementing agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, intelligent automation, and AI-augmented developer tooling
Pioneering AI-assisted software delivery: using advanced AI coding environments, LLM tooling, and agentic assistants to accelerate refactoring, code generation, and test writing in client codebases
Enabling client engineering teams on AI-first practices: hands-on coaching and pairing with client developers to integrate AI coding assistants into their daily development workflows and culture
Breaking down monolithic legacy applications into cloud-native microservices and event-driven architectures without taking critical systems offline
Anticipating technical debt, delivery friction, and architectural risk early: establishing clear mitigation strategies, test automation standards, and CI/CD best practices
Serving as the primary technical point of contact for your workstream: engaging directly with client engineering managers and technical directors on execution, delivery risk, and technical strategy
Mentoring and uplifting client and Liatrio engineers: pairing on complex problems, conducting architectural reviews, breaking down complex tasks, and providing continuous feedback
Partnering with account leadership and architects on technical scoping, statement of work (SOW) development, proof-of-concept (POC) demonstrations, and identifying expansion opportunities
You have a track record of owning technical execution and architectural direction for engineering teams in complex enterprise environments
You've modernized large legacy applications, with practical experience applying, incremental refactoring, and event-driven decomposition under real constraints
You are fluent across the full delivery stack (frontend, backend, APIs, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure) with genuine technical depth in multiple core areas
You've designed and delivered cloud-native, distributed systems at enterprise scale: microservices, event-driven architectures, API gateways, and asynchronous messaging
You possess strong practical knowledge of platform engineering, infrastructure as code, cloud platform adoption (Kubernetes, managed container services), and CI/CD delivery automation
You know how to maintain a high engineering bar across a team: evaluating code, catching edge cases early, enforcing test standards, and driving velocity
You've built or integrated production AI capabilities into real applications, understanding the end-to-end lifecycle from model integration and retrieval pipelines to observability and maintenance
You actively model AI-augmented engineering workflows, leveraging modern AI coding tools as a daily multiplier for delivery speed and code quality
You can speak credibly with client technical leadership about pragmatic AI adoption and where intelligent workflows create genuine, production-grade leverage
8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership of engineering teams or workstreams
Must be authorized to work in the United States or Canada without sponsorship
Travel availability: 25% depending on client needs
