Staff Software Engineer

Role Overview

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.

What You Will 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.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The highest-leverage seat in the company: you ship things real users feel within weeks, not quarters, and the systems you bootstrap become the agents thousands of JLL employees rely on every day.

Requirements

• Shipped production agents using Claude Agent SDK, MCP, or an equivalent stack.
• Production code in at least one of Python, Node, or.NET, with comfort moving across the others.
• Worked with diverse data stores: relational, NoSQL, object/blob, vector, and document.
• Operated end-to-end as a one-person team: design, ship, support, hand off.

Benefits

• 401(k) plan with matching company contributions
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental & Vision Care
• Paid parental leave at 100% of salary
• Paid Time Off and Company Holidays
• Early access to earned wages through Daily Pay
