About the Role
As a Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you will collaborate directly with clients and internal delivery teams to build and deploy AI-powered solutions. You will own projects end-to-end, from scoping ambiguous problems and prototyping AI workflows to deploying scalable systems. This role combines AI engineering, software development, and technical consulting, offering hands-on experience with models and their impact.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with delivery leaders to scope technical solutions to operational problems.
- Identify workflow optimizations through deep engagement with customer problems and work to build into a stable and scalable solution.
- Design and implement AI-powered workflows using LLMs, embedding models, retrieval systems, and automation tools.
- Translate messy real-world constraints into elegant engineering solutions.
- Iterate quickly based on real-time feedback from operators and clients.
- Build reusable tooling and infrastructure that accelerates future deployments.
- Be willing to be on-call for customers when situations arise.
Requirements
- 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering or ML engineering.
- Experience building usable systems from messy data and ambiguous requirements.
- Strong communication skills — you can explain technical decisions to delivery teams and client stakeholders.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working in fast-moving, unstructured environments.
- Ability to travel roughly 15-50% of the time, sometimes short-notice trips—primarily across Europe with occasional roll-outs outside of Europe —to work directly on-site with clients.
Skills
- Strong Python skills and familiarity with libraries like PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, or OpenAI APIs.
- Solid understanding of data pipelines, APIs, and production deployment (e.g., Docker, FastAPI, GCP/AWS).
