Forward Deployed Engineering

Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

Senior

Full-time · On-site with clients + hybrid · Client delivery

Be the technical owner of the account on the ground: translate a confusing business problem into an AI solution deployed to production, iterating shoulder to shoulder with the client. A hybrid of engineer and consultant — you build, decide architecture on the spot and sustain the technical relationship under pressure.

What you'll do

  • Scope and design the solution in the client's environment, making architecture decisions on the spot with incomplete information.
  • Negotiate scope with the client and know when to say "not this" and when a two-day prototype beats a two-week design.
  • Lead a small pod, coordinating junior FDEs and/or spec-driven developers who back the delivery.
  • Anticipate technical and business risks and defuse them before they become project problems.
  • Be the trusted technical face for the client's technical counterparts and business decision-makers.

What we look for

  • End-to-end technical solvency: you build, integrate and deploy AI solutions in real environments without supervision.
  • Business ↔ technical translation: you understand the problem in the client's language and give it back as a solution.
  • Business judgment: you prioritize by impact and tell what moves the needle from what's merely interesting.
  • Credibility and relationship management: you build trust and navigate hard conversations calmly.
  • Genuine ownership: you feel like the owner of the outcome, not your slice — and you show it when things go sideways.

Nice to have

  • Experience leading client projects or technical consulting with responsibility for the outcome.
  • Knowledge of a vertical sector (banking, retail, industry, health, energy) that speeds up domain understanding.
  • Command of the spec-driven methodology to leverage delivery capacity behind you.

How we measure success

  • The client gets a solution in production that solves their problem — not a demo.
  • The account grows because they trust your technical and business judgment.
  • The pod you lead delivers autonomously and learns from you.
