About the Role

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with enterprise clients to redesign organizational operations by developing and deploying AI systems that yield tangible results. You will manage the entire delivery process, from initial client discussions to production system deployment.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical relationship with enterprise clients from initial discovery through to production, including C-suite engagement and long-term roadmap influence.
• Run workshops that identify and prioritise high-value AI use cases, translating business problems into concrete engineering plans.
• Architect and ship enterprise-grade AI systems using the best available tooling (Claude, GPT, Gemini etc.) chosen for the problem, not the default.
• Design pipelines and agentic workflows that meet real enterprise requirements: security, scalability, cost efficiency, and reliability at production load.
• Integrate LLMs with complex enterprise data environments, including cloud platforms and data warehouses.
• Set the technical direction on engagements, making the hard calls on architecture, tooling, and trade-offs.
• Mentor engineers on both sides of the client relationship, raising the standard of the whole team.
• Lead incident resolution and complex troubleshooting.
• Define evaluation frameworks that assess model quality, safety, and business impact.
• Implement LLMOps practices including monitoring, observability, and drift detection in production environments.
• Ensure every deployment meets enterprise security and compliance requirements from day one.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, or technical consulting
• 3+ years delivering AI/ML or LLM-based solutions in production
• Proven track record of leading complex, customer-facing technical engagements
• You write production-quality code and have strong opinions about what that means.
• Expert-level in at least one language and comfortable picking up others as the problem demands.
• Understand distributed systems and API design deeply enough to spot architectural risk early.
• Lived through enough incidents to know why observability and CI/CD hygiene matter.
• Hands-on experience with Claude, GPT, and Gemini in production, not just demos.
• Understand the real trade-offs between models: cost, latency, context limits, reasoning quality, and where each breaks down.
• Know prompt engineering beyond the basics, have built RAG pipelines that handle messy real-world data, and have worked with agentic frameworks and MCP.
• Vector database selection and chunking strategy aren't abstract concepts to you.
• Strong on at least one major cloud platform (e.g. AWS, Azure, or GCP) and understand how enterprise infrastructure constraints shape what you can actually deploy.
• Worked with containerisation and orchestration in production environments, not just local Docker setups.
• Comfortable working across the data stack, whether that's Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or something bespoke.
• Know enough to integrate LLMs with complex data environments without needing a data engineer to translate for you.
