About the role

Lead Forward Deployed Engineer | AI Tech Scale-Up.
  • £130,000 DOE
We’re partnering with a fast-growing AI tech scale-up expanding its team, who are hiring for a Lead Forward Deployed Engineer. This is a rare opportunity to lead the delivery of enterprise-grade Agentic AI solutions, working directly with global clients at the forefront of applied AI innovation.
  • The Company

    This fast-growing organisation has built an enterprise AI platform that automates complex, end-to-end business workflows using multi-agent systems.

    Backed by leading investors and growing quickly, they work with major global organisations across a range of industries. Their engineering team is small and high-calibre, so you’ll get real ownership early and plenty of room to build your career.

  • The Role

    As Lead Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll embed with enterprise clients and turn complex workflows into reliable agentic systems in production. It’s a hands-on role combining technical depth with delivery leadership and stakeholder management.

    You’ll own projects end to end, from design through to deployment, working in Python, modern LLM frameworks and the major cloud platforms. The focus is client delivery rather than R&D or platform development.

  • The Candidate

    Key attributes of the suitable Lead Forward Deployed Engineer include:

    • Production AI Engineering Expertise: A proven track record of building production-grade solutions and delivering measurable impact through applied AI, ideally within consulting or product-led environments.
    • Agentic AI & Modern AI Systems Experience: Hands-on experience with LLMs, RAG pipelines, MCPs, and agentic workflows.
    • Delivery Leadership & Client Ownership: A forward-deployed, client-first mindset, with the ability to translate complex business problems into scalable AI systems while working directly with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
