About the Role

Forward Deployed AI Engineers are production engineers who work embedded inside a client's enterprise, making complex AI platforms function in real-world organizational environments. This role focuses on owning outcomes such as time-to-value, adoption, reliability, and scalability, rather than delivery milestones. These engineers are crucial for bridging the gap between successful AI pilots and scalable AI capabilities by translating platform functionality into measurable business value within enterprise settings.

Responsibilities

Own account-level AI transformation across the client enterprise, from platform selection and architecture through to enterprise-wide adoption and reinvention at scale.
Hold full accountability for deployment outcomes at account level: time-to-value, reliability, adoption, and ROI, directly reported to client executive leadership.
Drive ambiguity to resolution at account scale by translating executive-level strategic intent into production AI systems operating across the enterprise.
Define enterprise AI architecture standards and governance frameworks across the client organization, spanning identity, data, security, multi-platform integration, and AI lifecycle management.
Own the relationship with client CTO, CFO, and CISO to shape AI investment strategy, board-level narrative, and multi-year reinvention roadmap.
Codify reusable patterns and playbooks that define enterprise AI reinvention, creating assets that scale across markets, industries, and the FDE practice globally.
Lead executive workshops, board-level engagements, and cross-practice architecture reviews that shape the client’s AI reinvention trajectory.
Define the FDE practice model, including engineering standards, deployment playbooks, talent development frameworks, and the capability architecture for the practice.

Requirements

Engineering experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
Deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production environments.
Experience with AI platforms like OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, and open-source models, including building abstraction layers for multi-provider pipelines.
Experience leading software engineering teams, overseeing delivery, allocating resources, and owning professional development.
Demonstrated end-to-end delivery ownership in a client-embedded environment.
Proven ability to articulate business value and quantify deployment impact for a CFO.
Experience presenting to and building trust with senior client stakeholders (CTO, CFO, or CISO level).
