- Python More: We are a fast-growing AI start-up looking for multiple Forward Deployed Engineers to work directly with clients, embedding into their environments to design, build and deploy impactful AI solutions. This role is not back-office engineering; you will be on the front line, turning ambiguous business problems into working AI systems under real-world constraints. Our working setup is London-based, with 2-3 days per week on-site with clients and remote work for the remaining time. We understand the market for high-calibre AI talent and specialize in this area, ensuring we attract top candidates for this exciting opportunity.
- Strong, hands-on experience building and deploying AI and ML solutions in production, not just prototypes
- Proven background in a consultancy, client-facing or customer-embedded technical role
- Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with minimal guidance and maximum ownership
- Excellent communication skills, equally comfortable with engineers and senior non-technical stakeholders
- Track record of owning delivery end-to-end: scoping through deployment through iteration
- Solid Python programming skills, production standard
- Hands-on experience with modern AI stacks: LLMs, NLP, computer vision or similar
- Familiarity with model deployment: APIs, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), containerisation
- Experience integrating AI into real-world systems, not just building models in isolation
- Strong understanding of data pipelines and system design
- Ideal candidate profile: has worked as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer or AI Consultant previously
- Equally comfortable writing production code and leading client conversations, often in the same hour
- Pragmatic builder, focused on delivering value, not over-engineering
- Confident enough to push back on clients when needed and guide them toward the right solution
- Thrives in high-impact, high-visibility environments where the work matters
