Forward Deployed Software Engineer (Ref: 196728)
This is not a traditional SWE role. You’ll work in small teams with minimal supervision. You'll write production code, but you'll also be in client workshops, documenting and describing processes, workflows and translating what an actuary/pensions administrator/core function team needs into a shipped product.
- Embed with business teams to understand workflows end-to-end across all business areas
- Own end to end delivery: scope the work with team stakeholders, build it, test it against their data, and see it through to live running
- Use AI tools such as Claude Code, Open AI Codex, AI enabled IDEs to deliver solutions rapidly into the business
- Build bespoke integrations, data pipelines, and user-facing tools
- Feed learnings from the field back into our core product, shaping the roadmap with first-hand evidence
