Forward Deployed Engineer | London (On-site) | £130-150k + Bonus + Equity

We're partnering with a fast-growing startup building software that helps some of the world's most complex industries modernise the way they work.

While technology has transformed almost every part of our lives, sectors like aerospace, healthcare, manufacturing and energy still rely on fragmented processes, manual workflows and outdated systems.

They're changing that.

By combining modern software with AI, they're building products that bring the speed and flexibility of software into industries that have historically been left behind.

They're now looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer in London to work directly with customers and help shape the next generation of their platform.

This isn't a role where product requirements simply arrive in your backlog.

You’ll be:

• Working directly with customers to understand how they actually operate
• Turning complex, real-world workflows into intuitive software
• Owning the entire delivery process—from discovery and design through to production
• Building across the full stack while helping shape product direction
• Shipping AI-powered capabilities that solve meaningful operational problems

If you've ever wanted to sit at the intersection of:

This is exactly that.

Responsibilities

• Customer-Led Product Development
• Embed with customers to understand complex operational workflows
• Translate ambiguous problems into elegant software solutions
• Shape product decisions through direct customer feedback
• Design and deliver features across the frontend, backend and data layer
• Build intuitive user experiences using modern web technologies
• Develop APIs, business logic and scalable services that power production systems
• Integrate LLMs, AI agents and model-backed APIs into customer workflows
• Build intelligent features that automate repetitive processes and improve decision making
• Ship production-ready AI capabilities that create measurable customer value
• Take ideas from customer conversations through to production deployment
• Balance speed with quality in a fast-moving engineering environment
• Solve whatever problem is required- from UX improvements to debugging production issues

Requirements

• Strong experience building modern web applications with TypeScript and React (or similar frameworks)
• Experience developing backend services with Python
• Experience integrating AI technologies such as LLMs, agents or model-powered APIs into production products
• Ability to simplify complex workflows into intuitive user experiences
• Comfortable working directly with customers and non-technical stakeholders
• Enjoy working in environments with ambiguity, ownership and rapid iteration
• Founder or early-stage startup experience
• Experience building products from zero to one
• Background as a Forward Deployed, Solutions or Product Engineer
• Experience shipping AI-native products into production
• Thriving in fast-paced environments where priorities evolve quickly

This is one of those rare opportunities where you're not just building software - you're helping redefine how entire industries operate.
