About this role

Aledade's AI Enablement team enables, educates, and supports the Product, Tech, and Analytics (PTA) organization in adopting developer-centric AI tools (Claude Code, MCP, plugins, skills, hooks). The Forward-Deployed Engineer (FDE) embeds directly with a PTA cohort — Point of Care, Risk, Data, or another team — to unblock AI adoption on the ground: shipping plugins and skills tailored to that team's workflows, integrating their tools through the MCP Gateway, and turning hard-won lessons into reusable patterns for the broader platform. This is the role for engineers who think like internal consultants: meet teams where they are, build what they need today, and feed durable wins back into the marketplace and installer that the rest of Aledade depends on.

Primary Duties:

Embed with a PTA cohort and ship targeted enablement. Pair with engineers, PMs, and analysts on the assigned team; build plugins, skills, hooks, and connectors that solve their highest-friction workflows; measure adoption and impact.
Productize wins into the platform. Generalize cohort-specific work into reusable plugins, skill templates, and patterns published to the Claude Code Plugin Marketplace; document authorship guides; reduce the activation cost for the next cohort.
Integrate new tools through the MCP Gateway + AWS connector layer. Add and harden MCP server integrations (Glean, Slack, Jira, Snowflake, Salesforce, Databricks, etc.) to the gateway; partner with security and platform owners on auth/scopes/observability.
Feed back to the platform team and AI Unlock program. Contribute to roadmap and quarterly milestones; participate in office hours and brownbags as a practitioner; surface blockers (security, BAA, cost, throttling) early.
Support adoption health. Help close the long tail of repos with no .claude/ config; mentor cohort engineers on agentic-coding patterns; on-call rotation for marketplace-published artifacts.

Minimum Qualifications:

BS/BTech (or higher) in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
3+ years professional software engineering experience
Production experience with at least one modern application stack (Python, TypeScript/Node, Go, or similar) and modern CI/CD.
Demonstrated ability to ship end-to-end in unfamiliar codebases — e.g., consulting, forward-deployed, solutions, or platform-adjacent backgrounds.
Direct hands-on experience with one or more agentic coding tools in a production or near-production setting (Claude Code, Cursor, Cody, Copilot agents, Aider, or equivalent).
Strong written communication: comfortable producing documentation, runbooks, and educational artifacts for engineers who weren't in the room.

Preferred KSA’s:

Experience authoring or maintaining MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, Claude Code plugins, skills, hooks, or comparable LLM-tooling integrations.
Background in healthcare technology, HIPAA-regulated environments, or PHI-handling systems.
Prior FDE / customer-facing engineering / solutions architect / TPM-with-IC-chops experience.
Familiarity with Aledade's stack (Python/FastAPI, Vue/TypeScript, Postgres, AWS, Auth0, Datadog, Sumo Logic) is a plus but not required.
Experience integrating tools through API gateways, OAuth/M2M flows, or service meshes.
Comfort across the full stack (frontend/backend/infra) — FDE work doesn't honor team boundaries.
