🚀 Customer-Facing Full-Stack / Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) | React, TypeScript & Python | AI-Enabled Production Solutions
🌍 London - Hybrid | 📄 Permanent
Our client, an in-house technology consultancy of a global consulting firm, is seeking an entrepreneurial, customer-facing Full-Stack / Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to bridge the gap between user problems and real-world AI deployment. In this role, you will work directly with clients to diagnose critical business bottlenecks and personally architect, build, and ship production-grade, AI-enabled solutions at high velocity.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Partnering directly with enterprise customers to understand high-impact operational problems and translate them into scalable, production-ready technical architectures.
- Personally designing, building, and deploying end-to-end full-stack applications and AI-driven workflows from concept to production.
- Taking complete technical ownership of client delivery, iterating rapidly based on user feedback and changing requirements.
- Integrating cutting-edge AI frameworks (LangChain, Vercel AI SDK) and LLM-powered capabilities directly into customer workflows.
- Ensuring that deployed solutions adhere to rigorous enterprise standards for security, scalability, and system resilience.
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 We’re Looking For:
- 1–5 years of commercial experience as a Full-Stack Engineer or Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE).
- Proven track record (minimum 1+ year) of shipping production code in a customer-facing, high-velocity startup or agile environment.
- Strong technical foundation across React, TypeScript, Python, and modern AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Vercel AI SDK).
- Problem-first, product-minded engineering approach: focused on solving the underlying customer problem rather than being tied to a specific framework.
- Robust understanding of system design, distributed architectures, and scalable cloud deployments.
- Background as an ex-founder, founding/early startup engineer (teams of 1–20), or Palantir-style Forward Deployed Engineer is highly attractive.
- Strong STEM degree from a recognized university.
