About the Role
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) closes the gap between generative AI prototypes and real-world impact. This role involves delivering technical solutions, ensuring their adoption, and creating measurable value by bridging engineering and change management.
Responsibilities
- Analyze clients’ business needs and translate them into concrete, deployable AI solutions.
- Design and implement LLM-based systems: autonomous agents, RAG pipelines, workflow automation, conversational interfaces.
- Integrate these solutions into clients’ existing environments (APIs, databases, business tools).
- Support teams in adopting the deployed tools through evangelization, training, and continuous iteration.
- Iterate quickly with stakeholders to refine solutions in production and maximize their impact.
- Act as the bridge between technical teams and business decision-makers, translating complexity into perceived value.
- Contribute to research efforts on generative AI, agents, and automation.
- Help develop the firm’s offerings: training, working groups, internal and external materials.
- Contribute to the publication strategy: sector blogs, studies, press engagements.
- Support business development by helping define client needs and participating in commercial activities.
Requirements
- Hold an engineering degree or equivalent high-level training in computer science, information processing, or a related field.
- Have hands-on experience with LLMs in production: advanced prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, agent orchestration.
- Proficient in Python and applied AI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI SDK, Anthropic SDK, etc.).
- Comfortable with API integration and connecting heterogeneous systems.
- Can deploy and operate solutions in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Strong sense of client context — identifying what’s truly useful, prioritizing, and delivering value quickly.
- Ability to bring non-technical teams along on a transformation through teaching ability, active listening, and the ability to simplify without oversimplifying.
- Desire to take on high-value responsibilities quickly, within a dynamic, fast-growing AI practice.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of application and throughout employment.
- This position is not eligible for employment visa sponsorship.
