Overview We are looking for an exceptional full-stack software engineer who will act as a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to serve as the critical interface between the central AI Application Modernization Factory and our application teams. The FDE will be temporarily embedded within delivery teams to directly drive the modernization of key applications, ensuring technical success, accelerated adoption of AI-assisted SDLC practices , and lasting upskilling of team members. This is a high-impact, hybrid role requiring advanced software engineering skills, deep knowledge of cloud-native patterns, and proven expertise in consultation, change management, and building strong rapport with diverse teams. Key Responsibilities Application Modernization Execution: Embed with application teams to provide hands-on technical leadership, driving the design, development, and delivery of modernization efforts (re-platforming, microservices adoption) to AWS cloud-native architectures. AI-First SDLC Adoption & Upskilling: Act as the subject matter expert on the AI Modernization Factory's tools and processes (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code). Drive the adoption and change management necessary to embed AI-assisted software development practices into the team’s daily workflow. Consultative Engineering & Change Management: Build trust and rapport with new, diverse teams quickly. Identify team-specific technical and process bottlenecks, recommending and implementing solutions, and effectively managing the people/process side of technical change. Hands-on Software Development: Make significant code contributions, focusing on setting up architectural scaffolding, CI/CD pipelines, IaC (Terraform), and solving complex, blocking integration challenges for the embedded team. Feedback Loop: Serve as the primary feedback channel, relaying practical challenges, tool deficiencies, and necessary process adjustments back to the central Principal Engineer and Architect to continuously improve the factory's capabilities. Standards & Quality: Ensure embedded teams adhere to the central factory's engineering standards, including Twelve-Factor App principles, DevSecOps practices, and high-quality coding standards. Required Qualifications & Experience Experience: 5+ years of progressive experience in Software Engineering, with a focus on enterprise applications and application modernization. Full Stack Proficiency: Strong hands-on experience across the full application stack (front-end, back-end, database, infrastructure). Expert proficiency in one or more modern technology languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript, C#, Java). Cloud Native & IaC: Deep practical experience building and deploying scalable applications on AWS. Strong proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), specifically Terraform. Consulting & Change Management: Proven ability to onboard rapidly, assess team dynamics and technical landscapes, influence technical direction without formal authority, and drive organizational/process change within established engineering teams. DevSecOps & CI/CD: Hands-on mastery of setting up and optimizing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and integrating DevSecOps best practices. Architectural Understanding: Solid understanding of modern architectural patterns (microservices, serverless, event-driven architecture) and the principles of Domain-Driven Design (DDD). Communication & Interpersonal Skills: Exceptional communication, presentation, and listening skills. Ability to articulate complex technical issues and solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders effectively. Preferred Skills (A Plus) Prior experience in a consulting, Staff Engineer, or Forward Deployed role, specifically focused on technical adoption or modernization. Direct experience training or mentoring other software engineers in new technologies or methodologies. Hands-on experience with modern UI frameworks like React, NextJS, or similar. Experience utilizing AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) in a professional development environment. Familiarity with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and serverless architectures (AWS Lambda). Job Location – Remote (USA & Canada) The expected base salary for this position is: CAD 145000/ USD 170,000 excluding annual bonus (when applicable). Salary is based on a number of factors including market conditions, location and may vary depending on job-related skills and experience.

As a collective, our goal is to impact lasting change through our actions. Together, we unite for equality and equity. Banyan is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of any protected characteristic, including race, color, genetic information, creed, national origin, religion, sex, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lawful alien status, ancestry, age, marital status, or protected veteran status and will not discriminate against anyone on the basis of a disability.

144,883 engineer jobs are open right now

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.

Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.

Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.

When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
