Forward Deployed Engineer | Fast-growing AI scale-up | London (hybrid)
We are working with a fast-growing, venture-backed AI company that's solving complex, real-world problems for physical security and critical infrastructure. Already live with major UK organisations and scaling quickly, it's still a small team, so you'll join early and have real influence on both the product and how the team works.
What you'll do:
You'll work directly with customers, spending up to half your week on site, to understand their operational problems and turn them into deployed technical solutions. Often there's no obvious end-state, so you'll be discovering and building new capabilities as you go.
The work is broad. One week you might be writing data pipelines or custom backend services, the next building new UI components or getting hands-on with hardware in the field. The team primarily builds in Python, Rust and TypeScript on Linux, but chooses the right tool for each job.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also be a critical part of the product feedback loop, bringing customer insight back to the product and engineering teams so the core platform keeps improving, and working across internal teams to make sure every deployment delivers real-world impact.
What you'll bring:
- Strong coding and debugging skills in Python, Rust and/or TypeScript on Linux, with a track record of delivering real-world value
- Previous experience working directly with customers
- Proven delivery in ambiguous technical environments
- Excellent prioritisation and creative, resourceful problem solving

You'll be able to:
- Turn messy, complex customer problems into clear technical solutions
- Explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences with ease
- Build trusted relationships with customers and internal teams alike
