Forward Deployed Engineer (AI Transformation) London £130,000-£150,000 + Benefits
We’re working with a founder-led private equity firm undergoing a major AI-driven transformation across its investment and portfolio operations. The business has already embraced LLMs and agentic tooling, and is now moving from experimentation to production-scale deployment with strong executive sponsorship.
They are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer to sit at the centre of this transformation.
The Role
You will work directly with senior stakeholders and investment teams to identify, design, and build AI-enabled workflows that materially improve how the business operates.
This is a hands-on delivery role — not advisory.
You’ll operate across: AI use case discovery in live business processes Design of LLM/agent-based workflows (Claude / OpenAI ecosystem) Rapid prototyping through to production deployment Integration into existing enterprise systems (Microsoft stack, investment platforms, CRM tools) Governance, security, and compliance alignment (including EU regulatory constraints) Capability transfer into internal teams over time
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.
What You’ll Be Doing Translating ambiguous business problems into working AI systems Building and deploying real-world AI workflows in production environments Working closely with executives, operators, and technical teams Owning delivery end-to-end in fast-moving, imperfect data environments Helping define what “AI operating model” looks like in a modern investment firm
What We’re Looking For Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Applied AI Engineer, or Solutions Architect Strong hands-on software engineering ability (APIs, cloud, data systems) Experience building LLM or agent-based applications Comfortable operating in ambiguity and directly with business users Strong stakeholder and communication skills Pragmatic builder mindset — delivery over design purity

Why This Role High executive sponsorship from founder and leadership team Real ownership of AI transformation, not incremental tooling Opportunity to shape AI operating model from the ground up Strong visibility across a growing international platform
If you’re excited by building real AI systems that move from idea → production in weeks, this is the kind of environment where that happens.
