Forward Deployment Engineer; m​/f​/d

We are building a world-class, in-house AI engineering capability to create and scale enterprise AI solutions for complex operational environments. We build, own, and continuously evolve our AI products rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions.

As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you will define the technical direction for an AI squad embedded within the business. Working closely with stakeholders, you will understand business challenges and their underlying drivers, then design, build, deploy, and operate agentic AI systems that deliver measurable outcomes.

This is a highly hands-on, build-first role with end-to-end ownership of real business outcomes. You will partner with Business Product Owners and AI Value Architects while leveraging a shared AI platform, standards, and integration frameworks that enable teams to innovate rapidly and independently.

Begin every initiative by understanding the business problem, objectives, and desired outcomes. Partner directly with stakeholders and lead solutions from discovery through production deployment.

• Design, build, deploy, and continuously improve enterprise-grade agentic AI applications using agentic development practices as the primary engineering approach.
• Develop AI agents capable of multi-step reasoning, tool and API orchestration, context management, exception handling, and human-in-the-loop workflows at enterprise scale.
• Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, including data ingestion, chunking strategies, embeddings, vector search, retrieval optimization, grounding, and source traceability.
• Build integrations using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and connect AI systems to enterprise platforms through REST APIs, OpenAPI specifications, webhooks, and event-driven architectures.
• Create reusable, self-service AI services and interfaces that can be leveraged across multiple business domains.
• Apply structured LLM engineering practices, including tool calling, schema validation, retries, fallbacks, and guardrails.

• Own solution quality from inception through operation, including testing, evaluation, observability, logging, version control, and continuous feedback mechanisms.
• Optimize reliability, accuracy, performance, security, latency, and cost across deployed AI solutions.
• Ensure compliance with security, privacy, access controls, auditability, responsible AI principles, and governance requirements.

• Take ownership of business outcomes within a specific domain, ensuring successful delivery and measurable impact.
• Establish reusable patterns, frameworks, and engineering standards that strengthen internal AI capabilities.
• Collaborate effectively with Product Owners, AI Architects, and engineering teams, while challenging assumptions and identifying when AI is not the appropriate solution.
• Define technical direction, architecture standards, and strategic build-versus-buy decisions for AI initiatives.
• Design multi-agent systems, agent-to-agent communication patterns, and evaluation frameworks that ensure robustness and scalability.
• Lead engagements with external AI technology providers and partners while maintaining a strong focus on internal capability development.
• Mentor engineers, conduct technical reviews, and raise engineering standards across quality, security, and cost optimization.

We are seeking a technical leader who combines deep engineering expertise in agentic AI with strong business acumen and a hands-on delivery mindset.

• Demonstrated curiosity and a passion for understanding complex business and operational challenges.
• Strong business-first, human-centered approach, recognizing that AI augments people rather than replacing them.
• Excellent communication skills in English and experience working within diverse, international teams.
• 8+ years of experience building production-grade software, including:
  • 4+ years working with Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), or applied Machine Learning.
  • At least 1 year of hands-on experience designing and…
