Forward Deployed Engineer
We’re working with a rapidly scaling AI company that designs and deploys intelligent virtual agents for enterprise customers. As demand for the platform has grown, the company has evolved into specialised implementation teams focused on delivering high-quality AI solutions quickly and reliably.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, AI tooling, and automation. It’s well suited to engineers who enjoy building real-world systems, want hands-on exposure to modern AI-driven development, and care more about shipping impactful solutions than pure research.
The Role
As an AI Implementation Engineer, you’ll be responsible for implementing, configuring, and deploying AI-powered virtual agents into customer environments. You’ll work with established frameworks and internal tooling, with a focus on integration, automation, and delivery rather than training core models from scratch.
You’ll join a fast-moving implementation team that shares best practices, iterates quickly, and continuously improves how AI solutions are delivered at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Implement and deploy AI-driven virtual agents into production environments
- Integrate AI systems with customer software, APIs, and existing workflows
- Automate processes using a combination of software engineering and AI tools
- Collaborate closely with product, platform, and customer-facing teams
- Leverage modern AI tooling (LLMs, agent frameworks, orchestration tools) to accelerate delivery
- Contribute to improving internal implementation frameworks and delivery processes
- Debug, optimise, and iterate on deployed solutions based on real-world usage
What We’re Looking For
Core Experience
- Strong software engineering background (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar)
- Experience building and deploying production systems
- Comfortable working with APIs, integrations, and backend services
Mindset & Interests
- Genuinely excited about using AI tools in day-to-day engineering work
- Interested in modern, fast-moving development environments
- Motivated by automation and improving how systems are built and delivered
- Pragmatic, delivery-focused engineer who enjoys solving real customer problems
Nice to Have
- Experience with LLMs, AI agents, or workflow automation tools
- Exposure to cloud platforms and modern deployment environments
- Background in implementation, solutions engineering, or customer-facing technical roles
