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.
