Generative AI Forward Deployed Engineer

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract.

Forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) are Mactores' services layer. You embed with the customer's team, own outcomes from discovery through the production cutover, and personally carry the delivery commitment.

The agent platform we deploy absorbs 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, assessment, design, and testing. You absorb the judgment: target architecture, refactoring trade-offs, model selection, cutover strategy, and the decisions an agent platform cannot make. The agent absorbs scale. You absorb judgment. 

This is not a staff-augmentation seat and not an advisory role. You ship.
