At PwC, our people in software and product innovation focus on developing cutting-edge software solutions and driving product innovation to meet the evolving needs of clients. These individuals combine technical experience with creative thinking to deliver innovative software products and solutions. Those in software engineering at PwC will focus on developing innovative software solutions to drive digital transformation and enhance business performance. In this field, you will use your knowledge to design, code, and test cutting-edge applications that revolutionise industries and deliver exceptional user experiences.
PwC is looking for talented Forward Deployed Engineers to join a growing engineering community that works at the intersection of business needs, emerging technology and disciplined software engineering.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work close to real business problems, partnering with teams across PwC to turn early-stage ideas into working proof-of-concept software at pace. This is a hands-on engineering role with strong business exposure. It is not a non-technical translator role or a prompt-only analyst role and you will be expected to have and demonstrate development experience and familiarity working with code, repos and SDLC models.
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 will work with a specific business team while also contributing to a wider engineering community. You will help build rapid prototypes, reusable technical patterns and AI-enabled solutions that can be validated quickly and, where appropriate, developed further for live use by PwC’s technology and innovation teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with business stakeholders to understand challenges, validate assumptions and identify opportunities for innovative technical proof-of-concepts.
- Design and build rapid prototypes using approved tools, secure engineering practices and AI-enabled development technologies.
- Integrate APIs, data sources, AI models and workflows to create functional proof-of-concept solutions that deliver business value.
- Apply robust software engineering standards including version control, code reviews, testing, defect management and secure coding practices.
- Document solution architecture, security and compliance considerations, production readiness gaps and opportunities for reuse and scalability.
- Champion Responsible AI principles and share reusable components, best practices and lessons learned across the engineering community.
