Role mandate
Embed inside Australian customer teams, turn ambiguous business problems into working systems running in production on AWS, and make Minfy's first ANZ deployments referenceable.
About Minfy
Minfy is an applied AI and technology services company with deep AWS, cloud, data and engineering capability.
As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and Managed Service Provider, Minfy supports customers from advisory and migration through modernisation, AI implementation and ongoing managed operations.
Forward deployed engineering is how Minfy intends to prove that capability in Australia: engineers sitting with the customer, shipping working software early, then hardening it into something the customer can run.
The prospect
A forward deployed engineer is measured by what runs in the customer's environment, not by what is documented.
The role sits with the customer's engineers and business users, finds the problem behind the brief, builds a working version quickly and then makes it production‐grade — with Minfy's architects and delivery pods behind them.
This suits an engineer who is energised rather than drained by ambiguity, customer contact and unfamiliar estates.
The work spans applications, data pipelines, integrations and applied AI, and the same person is expected to build it, secure it, instrument it and hand it over cleanly.
Key responsibilities
Embed with Australian customer teams to understand workflows, data,



constraints and the outcome that actually matters to the business.
Design and build working solutions on AWS — applications, data pipelines, integrations and AI or agentic systems — from prototype through to production.
Get a first working version in front of real users quickly, then harden it: tests, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, security controls and runbooks.
Integrate with the customer's existing estate — legacy systems, identity, data sources and networks — and be direct about what will not work.
Instrument and evaluate AI features: retrieval quality, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, human-in-the- loop design and failure handling.
Work with Minfy's engineering pods to scale delivery once a pattern is proven, and hand over with documentation the receiving team can actually use.
Support pre‐sales technically through discovery workshops, proofs of value, demonstrations and the technical sections of proposals.
Feed reusable patterns, accelerators and components back into Minfy's engineering practice.
Maintain qualified customer communication on expectations, risks and trade‐offs, delivering unwelcome news early rather than late.
Candidate profile
Strong hands‐on software or data engineering experience with genuine production ownership, and Australian work rights.
