Forward Deployed Engineer

What You Bring • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related field with 7+ years of relevant professional experience. • Deep production experience with Python and JavaScript/TypeScript across backend and frontend, with demonstrated ability to work comfortably across the full stack. • Strong experience with modern frontend frameworks (such as Next.js or React) and backend API development. • Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred; Azure or GCP also valued), including infrastructure-as-code tools (such as CloudFormation or Terraform). • Deep Working knowledge of multiple database paradigms, including relational databases (such as PostgreSQL), document databases, and key-value stores (such as Redis), with the ability to select the right storage technology for each problem. • Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines (such as GitHub Actions), containerisation, and production deployment strategies. • Demonstrable fluency with AI coding tools (such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar) and proven ability to design agentic engineering workflows and train teams on AI-augmented development practices. • Hands-on experience architecting production generative AI applications (LLM integrations, vector databases, RAG systems, evaluation pipelines) is essential. • Experience leading technical initiatives across multiple teams, mentoring engineers, and establishing engineering practices is required. • Experience navigating ambiguous problem spaces, working directly with business stakeholders and end users, and shipping working solutions rapidly is required. • Experience in an embedded, forward-deployed, or consulting-style engineering model is a strong plus. • Must have exceptional communication skills and demonstrated ability to influence at senior levels. This role requires comfort leading across ambiguous environments, building trust-based relationships with commercial stakeholders at all levels, developing junior and mid-level engineers, and making strategic decisions that balance delivery speed with architectural integrity. You will shape engineering practices across your area and be expected to lead multi-team initiatives.
