We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Forward Deployed Engineer –
Vice President (VPR) to join our Engineering Hub. This role is located in a New
York city

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent practical experience will be considered.
• 5–9 years of total professional experience, including 3+ years in software engineering with hands-on coding in a relevant language (such as Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Python).
• 1+ years of client-facing delivery experience (e.g., forward deployed/solutions engineering, or blended Product/Engineering roles) with demonstrated excellence in communication—able to manage ambiguity, ask insightful questions, and articulate tradeoffs and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Demonstrated intellectual curiosity and continuous learning mindset; experience designing and integrating APIs/services and working with cloud or hybrid environments (networking, environments, IAM). Exposure to enterprise AI/ML practices (such as LLM prompting, orchestration, or MLOps) is preferred, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.

Responsibilities

• Lead embedded technical discovery with stakeholders to clarify problems, constraints, success metrics, and day-2 ownership; ask probing questions with intellectual curiosity and translate findings into practical solution designs (data flows, APIs, security models, environments) through clear, concise communication.
• Build MVPs, experiments, and proofs-of-concept to validate value quickly, then harden successful approaches into scalable, secure, and observable product features in partnership with platform teams.
• Configure and extend existing platforms and tooling (APIs, enterprise platforms, data or AI tooling) with client-specific logic; implement CI/CD-friendly configuration and deployment patterns, documenting decisions and communicating tradeoffs to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Codify repeatable patterns and reusable modules to reduce time-to-value; share best practices and deployment templates and provide enablement through demos and technical workshops that foster curiosity and collaborative learning.

Benefits

• BNY offers highly competitive compensation, benefits, and wellbeing programs rooted in a strong culture of excellence and our pay-for-performance philosophy.
• We provide access to flexible global resources and tools for your life’s journey.
• Focus on your health, foster your personal resilience, and reach your financial goals as a valued member of our team, along with generous paid leaves, including paid volunteer time, that can support you and your family through moments that matter.
