Principal Forward Deployed Engineer – Applied AI Focus

This is the deep-end engineering role on the FDE bench. You're not just configuring on the platform — you're building off it, into it, and around it. On a typical engagement, you're working side-by-side with the client's own engineering team: integrating into their loan origination system, their data warehouse, their identity stack, their CI. You're the technical authority in the room.

You're still forward deployed, still co-owning the strategic outcome, still client-facing. But your edge is depth — system design, distributed architecture, secure integration, and the ability to ship production code under banking-grade scrutiny.

Lead the technical design and delivery of complex banking AI engagements, including off-platform builds and bespoke integrations into client systems

Partner directly with client engineering, security, and architecture teams — speak their language, respect their constraints, design for their reality

Architect end-to-end agentic systems: data ingress, model orchestration, evals, observability, security, and the production wrapper around all of it

Make the call on what to build on Titan's platform vs. what to build bespoke vs. what to push back into our roadmap

Mentor mid-level FDEs and influence platform direction by codifying what you learn into reusable assets and patterns

Represent Titan's engineering credibility to banking CTOs, CISOs, and their architects

A senior engineer with real production scars. You've shipped systems that mattered to real users, at meaningful scale or under meaningful constraint.

A builder above all. Title less interesting than slope. Many of the best people we know took unconventional paths to get here — that's a feature, not an exception.
