Generative AI Forward Deployed Engineer

Mactores, Mumbai, MH

The role

What you will do?

Deliver production agentic AI systems and AWS modernization engagements on committed dates across three pillars: Data Platform Modernization, Application & Database Modernization, and AI Agents for Apps.
Build and productionize AI agents, orchestration, retrieval pipelines, evaluation harnesses, observability running against real customer data, not demo data.
Convert existing products into agents: expose product functionality as callable tools for agent-to-agent composition, or replace form-and-click UX with agent-native, intent-driven interfaces.

Wait…

Excellent communication skills (English) — verbal and written. Non-negotiable. You will present architecture to customer CTOs, write documents that hold up in audit, and defend judgment calls in the room. If you can build but not explain, this role is not a fit.
You have shipped production agentic AI systems on AWS. Not POCs, not notebooks — systems running in production for real users. This is the primary qualification. Be prepared to walk through what you shipped, the decisions you made, and what broke.
Deep understanding of agentic architecture — you can design an agent system from first principles and explain why each component exists:
- Agent design patterns: single-agent vs. multi-agent systems, supervisor/orchestrator patterns, hierarchical agent topologies, planner–executor separation, and when each applies.
Orchestration: building and operating orchestrator agents that decompose tasks, route work to specialist agents or tools, and manage state across multi-step workflows (LangGraph, Strands Agents, CrewAI, or equivalent).
Memory: short-term/working memory (context management, conversation state) and long-term memory (episodic and semantic stores, vector- and graph-backed retrieval), and the production trade-offs of each.
Reflection and self-correction: critique loops, self-evaluation, retry-with-feedback patterns, and evaluation harnesses that catch agent failures before customers do.
Tool use and function calling: schema design, tool-selection reliability, error handling, and agent-to-agent composition.
RAG and retrieval pipelines: chunking, embedding, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and grounding agent decisions in customer data.
Strong AWS production experience: Amazon Bedrock and AWS AI services, plus core platform services (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, RDS/Aurora, Glue, EMR, Redshift, Kinesis, or similar depending on specialization).
Solid software engineering fundamentals Python, TypeScript, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, testing-driven development discipline.
Experience with data or application modernization (database migration, legacy refactoring, data platform builds) is a strong plus, since agents run against these workloads.
Indicative experience: roughly 3–10 years in engineering roles, with agentic AI / GenAI as your current day job. We have demonstrated agent-native expertise over tenure — an engineer with 3–4 years of hands-on agentic AI work typically outperforms a 12-year generalist on this work.
