Forward Deployed Engineer – Contract
My client is looking for a highly hands-on Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to work directly with customers and partners to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI-enabled software. This is a contract role for a self-starting engineer who can understand a problem, shape the architecture, and independently deliver a tested, working solution.
You’ll operate across full-stack engineering, AI systems, architecture, and customer delivery, translating real-world requirements into robust production software. A major focus will be using Cursor, Codex, and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards around code quality, testing, and reliability.
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 take ownership from requirements through architecture, development, testing, and production deployment. This includes building containerised services with Docker, APIs, distributed systems, event-driven pipelines, and AI-powered applications.
We’re looking for strong full-stack engineers with experience shipping real production software. Relevant technologies include Python, FastAPI, Docker, GitHub Actions, Azure, AMQP, PyTorch, OpenCV, CUDA, OCR, embeddings, LLMs, and VLMs.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You must be self-starting and client-facing, comfortable working directly with customers and reseller partners, understanding complex product requirements, and then going away, building, testing, and delivering a solution that works in production.
