JOIN TARGET AS A PRINCIPAL ENGINEER –AI PLATFORMS, FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERING and AI BUILDER EXPERIENCE
About us:
Working at Target means helping all families discover the joy of everyday life. We bring that vision to life through our values and culture. Learn more about Target here.
A role with Target’s AI Platform organization means the opportunity to build and evolve the foundational capabilities that enable teams across Target to develop, deploy, and operate AI-powered products and experiences at enterprise scale. Our teams build platforms, frameworks, and developer experiences that make advanced AI technologies accessible, reliable, and scalable for engineers across the organization.
As a Principal Engineer – AI Builder Experience and Forward Deployed Engineering, you will provide technical leadership for how engineering teams across Target build, integrate, deploy, and operate AI-powered applications. You will work at the intersection of AI platform engineering, developer experience, and forward deployed engineering, partnering directly with product and engineering teams to accelerate complex and high-value AI initiatives while shaping reusable capabilities for the broader engineering community.
You will help architect and deliver production-grade AI solutions, including agentic and LLM-powered applications, while establishing scalable patterns for model and agent integration, enterprise context, evaluation, observability, deployment, and production operations. You will bring deep platform expertise directly to engineering teams, helping them navigate complex technical challenges and successfully move AI solutions from experimentation into production.
A critical part of this role is translating real-world implementation experience into improvements to the AI platform. You will identify recurring challenges and patterns across forward deployed engagements and turn those learnings into reusable APIs, SDKs, frameworks, developer tooling, reference architectures, and self-service platform capabilities. Through this feedback loop, you will help reduce bespoke engineering and continuously improve the experience for the next generation of AI builders.
You will also provide technical leadership for the end-to-end AI developer experience, including onboarding, development, experimentation, testing, evaluation, debugging, deployment, and observability. You will partner closely with platform engineering, product, architecture, and application teams to influence platform roadmaps, establish engineering standards, and create reference implementations that enable teams to adopt AI capabilities effectively and responsibly at scale.
Given the pace of change in AI, you will stay current on emerging technologies and engineering approaches, evaluate and recommend new frameworks and tooling, publish learnings and reusable patterns, mentor senior engineers, and influence technical direction across the broader AI engineering ecosystem. We utilize Agile principles, follow best-practice software design, participate in code reviews, and create maintainable, well-tested codebases with relevant documentation.
Core responsibilities of this job are articulated within this job description. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.
About you:

- Experience with modern AI engineering and platform technologies, including model APIs, agent development frameworks, evaluation and observability tooling, cloud platforms, containers, orchestration, CI/CD, and operational monitoring
- Strong understanding of distributed system design, platform architecture, scalability, reliability, performance optimization, security, and production deployment considerations
- Demonstrated ability to partner directly with engineering and product teams, understand complex implementation challenges, and translate those challenges into scalable technical solutions and reusable platform capabilities
- Ability to operate effectively across the full engineering lifecycle, from architecture and prototyping through implementation, production deployment, and operational maturity
- Ability to translate ambiguous business and engineering problems into clear technical approaches and create strong technical documentation, reference architectures, narratives, and recommendations for a range of audiences
- Excellent communication and influencing skills, with demonstrated ability to establish technical direction and drive alignment across engineering teams and organizational boundaries
- Proven ability to mentor and provide technical leadership to senior engineers while influencing architecture and engineering standards without direct authority

Tips for Your Remote Community Builder Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote community builder openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Early applications on remote roles matter because distributed teams often close openings fast once a strong candidate pool forms.
Prove your async communication skills upfront
Remote community builder hiring screens hard for written clarity. Write your cover letter and any work samples the way you would communicate with members: structured, warm, and free of jargon. Remote employers read these as a preview of your actual on-the-job communication style.
Build a portfolio of remote community work
Document programs you have run online: Discord servers you moderated, member onboarding flows you designed, or virtual events you organized. Screenshots, growth numbers, and brief written case studies give remote hiring managers concrete evidence that you can operate without in-person oversight.
Name the tools you use in your applications
Remote community builder roles run on platforms like Circle, Discord, Slack, Discourse, Khoros, and Bevy. Calling out specific tools you have used in your resume and in interviews signals to distributed teams that you can contribute from day one without a ramp-up period.
Remote Community Builder Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote community builder job?
Remote community builder roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to engage members without in-person contact. Remote-first tech companies, online platforms, and creator economy businesses are the most active remote hirers. Showing measurable community growth, async engagement programs you have run, or tools you use to manage distributed members gives you a clear edge over candidates with only in-person experience.
Which companies hire remote community builders?
Companies hiring remote community builders right now include Abco Maintenance, Alt Platform, and Siemens, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first software companies, online learning platforms, gaming studios, and creator economy businesses that run all community operations across distributed teams.
Can you get a remote community builder job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level community builder roles are harder to land than in-person ones because you must demonstrate independent judgment from day one. Volunteer moderation work, managing a Discord or forum, or running social engagement for a nonprofit or personal project all substitute for formal experience. Remote-first startups and early-stage platforms are most open to candidates who bring documented results rather than a formal job history.
Do you need a degree for remote community builder jobs?
Not always. Remote employers in this role weigh demonstrated community management skills, written communication ability, and evidence of growing or retaining an engaged audience far more than a specific degree. A portfolio showing programs you have built, member retention you have improved, or events you have run remotely carries more weight than a diploma in most remote hiring processes.
