Senior Forward Deployed Full-Stack Engineer — Angular, .NET & AWS
Role Description
Position Summary
· We are seeking a senior, hands-on Forward Deployed Full-Stack Engineer to work directly with business stakeholders, architects, product teams, and engineering teams to turn ambiguous operational needs into secure, scalable, production-ready software.
· This is a balanced full-stack role requiring meaningful depth across modern Angular, C#/.NET, and AWS. The engineer will own solutions across the delivery lifecycle—from discovery and rapid prototyping through architecture, implementation, cloud deployment, production stabilization, and user adoption.
· The successful candidate is comfortable entering complex enterprise environments, learning unfamiliar domains quickly, making pragmatic technical decisions, and delivering measurable outcomes with limited specification. This is not a coordination-only architect, pure frontend role, pure backend role, or cloud/DevOps role.
Key Responsibilities
· Forward-Deployed Engineering
· Full-Stack Application Development
· Frontend Engineering — Angular
· AWS and Cloud Engineering
· DevOps, Quality, Security, and Operations
Required Qualifications
· Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
· Typically, 8+ years of professional software-engineering experience, including significant recent hands-on full-stack delivery.
· Strong production experience with Angular, TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET Core, and AWS.
· Demonstrated ability to own complete features across frontend, backend, integration, cloud deployment, testing, and production support.
· Recent experience with Angular 18+ concepts, including standalone components, Signals, RxJS, reactive forms, routing, guards, and interceptors.
· Strong TypeScript skills, including generics, type constraints, utility types, typed API contracts, and robust domain modeling.
· Strong HTML/CSS/SCSS skills, including semantic markup, Flexbox, Grid, responsive design, and accessibility.
· Strong C#/.NET skills, including API design, dependency injection, middleware, asynchronous programming, authentication/authorization, testing, and production troubleshooting.
· Hands-on experience designing or operating AWS workloads—not merely consuming cloud-hosted applications.
· Experience with SQL and relational data modeling; exposure to NoSQL where appropriate.
· Experience with CI/CD, Docker, automated testing, observability, and Infrastructure as Code.
· Ability to work directly with business users, clarify ambiguous requirements, prototype rapidly, and communicate technical trade-offs clearly.
· Strong analytical, troubleshooting, ownership, and stakeholder-management skills.
Pay: $70.00 - $85.00 per hour
Expected hours: No less than 40.0 per week

About Forward Deployed Engineering
Forward Deployed Engineers are embedded directly with customers to build custom solutions, integrate products into existing infrastructure, and bridge the gap between product engineering and customer success. The role combines deep technical skills with the ability to operate in client environments and translate business requirements into working software.
Originally pioneered by Palantir, the FDE model has spread across AI, enterprise SaaS, and cloud infrastructure companies. FDEs write production code, architect integrations, train customer teams, and feed product insights back to the core engineering organization. At companies like OpenAI, Salesforce, and Databricks, FDE teams are treated as elite engineering units that can ship custom solutions in days rather than quarters.
Typical FDE stack: Python, TypeScript, SQL, REST/GraphQL APIs, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), and increasingly LLM APIs and AI orchestration frameworks. Strong communication and the ability to context-switch between technical and business conversations are as important as coding ability.
