**JLL empowers you to shape a brighter way**. Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward. # Forward Deployed AI Engineer **JLL | AI Engineering | Full-Time** ## About the Role JLL is rolling out AI agents directly into business lines: Capital Markets, Leasing, Property Management, and corporate functions. Forward Deployed AI Engineers (FDEs) are the engineers who sit inside those lines, learn the work from the people doing it, and bootstrap the agents that change how that work gets done. You will own a business line as a one-person engineering team. The Center of Excellence in our central AI team gives you the methodology, the platform, and the patterns; the business line gives you the problems, the SMEs, and the appetite for change. Your job is to turn that into shipped agents and MCP integrations, then hand mature work off to platform and operations as it stabilizes. We expect engineers at this level to operate with AI tools as a primary part of their workflow. Your leverage comes from the hooks, skills, workflows, and automations you install to ship safely to production. The leverage in this role is AI, not headcount. ## What You'll Do * Build and ship agents for a specific business line, in close partnership with its SMEs and operators. * Stand up MCP servers and connectors: pre-production first, then through CDR into production. * Bootstrap skills, integrations, and evals on top of JLL's AI platform (LLM gateway, shared RAG services, MCP toolchain). * Run workshops with business teams, teach t
