As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) with an AI & Agentic Engineering focus (Band 8), you own delivery of AI applications for complex customer engagements, including the agentic systems and generative AI features that go into production in close collaboration with platform engineering. You translate business challenges into technical solutions, build and iterate AI applications, and work hand-in-hand with the platform engineers on the team throughout design, build, and deployment. You’re accountable for what you build, including how well it holds up once people are actually using it.
You operate with significant autonomy, bring deep expertise in agentic AI architectures and applied software engineering, and confidently bridge engineering rigour with business value. You use modern AI development tools and sound engineering practice across the full delivery lifecycle to accelerate learning, improve quality, and deliver measurable impact.
Depending on the engagement, you’ll draw on some of the below more than others — not every bullet applies to every project.
