Forward Deployed Engineering Senior Analyst
Forward Deployed AI Engineer / Production Engineer
We are seeking a Forward Deployed AI Engineer who will embed within a client’s enterprise teams, bridging the gap between AI platform capabilities and real-world business outcomes. This role is focused on owning results—time-to-value, adoption, reliability, and scalability—not technical delivery.
Market Opportunity
The industry is refining its understanding of why AI deployments fail: most often because of broken deployment strategies. Leading tech firms have proven that AI products succeed when they drive measurable business value in enterprising environments. This role closes that deployment gap—translating platform potential into tangible outcomes.
The Role
Forward Deployed AI Engineers are the operational linchpins of our Reinvention Deployment Engineering pods, shaping the future of AI deployment at scale. Choosing to join us at this early stage means contributing to the industry’s most ambitious enterprise AI deployments across sectors.
Responsibilities
-
Client Integration Embed directly with client engineering and business teams to deploy, scale, and operationalize AI platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, SAP, Palantir, etc.) across enterprise environments
-
Ownership & Outcomes Deliver end-to-end business-aligned outcomes, not just delivery milestones:
- Time-to-value: Build AI solutions accelerating with rapid experimentation (days to prototype, weeks to production-readiness)
- Production readiness: Ensure systems are reliable, secure, and scalable with governed lifecycles
- Adoption velocity: Align AI deployment with organizational scalability and client capacity
