About Nevis
Nevis is building the world’s first AI wealth management platform. In just 9 months, Nevis has grown to have over $50 billion of assets under management on its platform and is on track to have over $100 billion by the end of this year.
Nevis is also backed by world-leading investors and has raised a total of $40 million from Sequoia Capital, ICONIQ, and Ribbit. Together it makes Nevis one of the highest-funded and fastest-growing Series A startups in Europe.
The Role
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to be the technical counterpart for our customers and make sure every implementation succeeds.
When one of the largest wealth management firms in the country decides to run on Nevis, you are the engineer in the room with them. You learn how their business actually works, translate that into what we build and configure, and own the technical side of the deployment from the first workshop to a platform their advisors use every day. You work with their engineers, their operations team, and their vendors, and you stay their technical point of contact long after go-live.
The work spans whatever the deployment needs: integrations with the systems they already run, getting their data into our platform, configuring and deploying AI agents and workflows against their real processes, prototyping fast to show what is possible, and being the person who diagnoses it when something does not behave the way anyone expected.
You will be trusted by the customer and relied on internally, so two things have to be true at once. You have to be precise, because these firms make decisions on the numbers we show them. And you have to move fast with whatever tools get you there, because the problems are novel and nobody is handing you a specification.
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 Do
- Own the technical side of enterprise deployments end to end, from initial scoping through go-live and expansion
- Be the customer's main technical point of contact, working alongside their engineers, operations teams, and leadership
- Understand how each firm operates deeply enough to translate their workflows into what Nevis builds, configures, and automates for them
- Design and deliver the integrations and data flows a deployment depends on, working with our engineering teams to make the pipes right
- Configure and deploy AI agents and automated workflows against real customer processes, and tune them until they hold up in production
- Build prototypes and demos fast, so customers can see what is possible before anyone commits to building it
- Diagnose and resolve technical issues in live deployments, and be honest with customers about what the platform can and cannot do
- Partner with Deployment Strategists on the commercial relationship, giving them the technical grounding that wins and grows accounts
- Feed what you learn in the field back into the product, shaping the roadmap so every future customer inherits it
Who You Are
- You have 3+ years in a forward-deployed, solutions engineering, technical implementation, or similar customer-facing engineering role at a high-growth technology company
- You are a strong engineer. Python and SQL are second nature, and you are comfortable working across systems, APIs, and messy real-world data
- You have put LLMs and agentic tooling into production, and you have judgment about where they are reliable and where they are not
- You build fast. You would rather ship something working and iterate than design something perfect on paper
- You are precise about numbers. You know the difference between an honest "the data cannot answer that" and a confident wrong answer, and you know which one costs more
- You communicate exceptionally well with people who are not engineers. You can walk a COO through what you built and where it is weak without losing them
- You have low ego and high ownership. You do what needs to be done, and the outcome matters more than the credit
- You are comfortable with ambiguity, and you bring clarity to unstructured problems rather than frustration
- You are happy to travel and work onsite with customers
- STEM degree from a top university, or equivalent demonstrated experience
