Senior Applied AI / Forward Deployed Engineer
Location: Hybrid / 2 days in London office
Type: Full-time
Experience: 8+ yrs
The Role
Work directly with enterprise clients to design, build, and ship production-grade generative AI solutions — agents, RAG systems, and AI-powered workflows — from scoping through deployment.
What You'll Do
- Build and deploy agentic AI systems using spec-driven development and evals-first delivery
- Design RAG pipelines, skills, and MCP-based integrations with enterprise systems
- Define eval frameworks and guardrails; own quality from POC to production
- Choose the right architecture — LLM, SLM, or hybrid — for cost, latency, and accuracy
- Lead technical conversations with client stakeholders, from CTOs to engineering teams
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.
Must Have
- 8+ years of software engineering with Java EE, Spring Boot, and AWS Stack, including 3+ years building LLM-powered applications in production

- Hands-on with agentic AI tools (Claude Code or AWS Kiro), plus agents, tool use, MCP, and RAG architectures
- You write and review code with AI daily — and are eager to help customers adopt the same way of working
- Proven track record designing and running evals (benchmarks, LLM-as-judge, HITL)
