About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer at BNY, you will embed with business and platform stakeholders to scope and execute time-boxed engagements. You will design, build, and harden AI-first solutions, extending existing platforms and contributing reusable code. The role involves executing discovery, prototyping, and ensuring solutions are production-ready, secure, and operationally sound. You will also coordinate with various stakeholders, write efficient code, apply security principles, and mentor junior engineers.

Responsibilities

Embed with business and platform stakeholders to scope and execute time-boxed FDE engagements with clear entry and exit criteria; translate defined opportunities into production-ready delivery plans.
Design, build, and harden AI-first solutions across data, APIs, services, and workflow integrations, moving confidently from prototype to secure, scalable production deployment.
Default to reuse-first delivery: extend existing platforms, templates, and modules rather than building avoidable one-offs; contribute reusable code and patterns back to shared repositories.
Execute discovery with operating teams and sponsors to clarify constraints, validate feasibility, and rapidly prototype where useful before hardening into production.
Surface patterns and learnings from engagements that can be standardized and promoted into shared platform capabilities.
Apply secure-by-default practices consistently; incorporate observability, testability, and operational readiness into every solution delivered.
Prepare clear handoff packages and transition plans so owning teams can sustain solutions independently after forward deployment ends.
Operate within the FDE playbook and contribute feedback to refine standards, handoff criteria, and working norms based on field experience.
Coordinate with control, architecture, security, and compliance stakeholders to keep solutions production-appropriate and governance-compliant.
Program well-designed, testable, efficient code; actively participate in code reviews and maintain software functionality while managing technical debt.
Apply security and privacy principles throughout the software development lifecycle.
Mentor junior engineers; engage in active learning, complete mandatory training, and stay abreast of emerging technologies.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience.
10–14 years of hands-on software development experience, including direct delivery of production systems; experience in the securities or financial services industry is a plus.
Strong foundational understanding of modern AI and agentic application patterns, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and agent-based system design.
Hands-on experience building backend services, APIs, and production systems.
Experience working across architecture, data, and platform concerns rather than only within a narrow layer.
Experience delivering AI, data, or workflow-heavy solutions in regulated environments.
Strong systems-thinking and architecture judgment across services, data, and infrastructure.
Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving discovery with senior stakeholders.
Experience balancing speed with governance, security, and operational rigor.
Familiarity with reusable platform patterns, internal developer platforms, or productized infrastructure.
Experience with observability, evaluation, and day-2 production ownership practices.
