Forward Deployed Engineer | London | £100k–£175k + Equity
This is one of the most interesting Forward Deployed Engineering opportunities I’ve seen in London.
We’re working with a heavily funded, early-stage Enterprise AI company building a platform designed to solve complex operational problems inside some of the world’s largest organisations.
They’re now looking for 2–3 exceptional Forward Deployed Engineers to join a small, highly technical team.
This is not Solutions Engineering.
It’s not pre-sales.
And it’s definitely not a role where you design something and hand it to another engineering team to build.
You’ll sit directly with enterprise customers, understand difficult real-world problems, design the solution and personally ship production software - Sometimes within days.
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 move between software engineering, systems architecture, AI and customer problem-solving, with what you learn in the field feeding directly back into the core product.
The profile
You’ll likely have 1–5 years’ experience and already be an excellent software engineer.
We’re particularly interested in people who have:
- Built and shipped production software in customer-facing or startup environments
- Strong Python / TypeScript / full-stack engineering capability
- Excellent systems design and architecture fundamentals
- Experience with modern AI/LLM tooling
- The ability to operate comfortably with senior enterprise customers
- A genuine problem-first mentality rather than attachment to a particular technology
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Backgrounds as an early/founding engineer, startup engineer or Forward Deployed Engineer are particularly interesting.
This role will suit someone who wants to be close to the customer, close to the code and close to the commercial impact of what they build.

If you’re an exceptional engineer who enjoys getting out from behind the screen, understanding the actual problem and then building the solution, I’d like to hear from you.
