About the Role
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join our partner's engineering team. The company is developing products that help organisations digitise and automate workflows that traditionally rely heavily on manual processes, documents, spreadsheets, and legacy systems. Their platform combines modern software engineering with AI to support technical, operational, and compliance-related workflows.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work closely with customers to understand how their operations actually work and turn those workflows into robust, production-ready software. This is a highly hands-on role. You will be involved across the full product lifecycle from understanding customer requirements and defining solutions to building, deploying, and iterating on them in production.
