Job description

Client Partner at Propel - Building exceptional GTM teams globally

Forward Deployed Engineer ~ High-Growth AI SaaS ~ UK (Remote) but travel included

We’re working with a fast-scaling SaaS company on a mission to transform how complex, field-based industries operate - using cutting-edge AI, automation, and data-driven insights to make work safer, faster, and more efficient.

They’re now looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join the team and act as the technical bridge between product, engineering, and customers.

You’ll work directly with enterprise clients to design, prototype, and deliver real-world AI solutions that drive measurable impact.

The Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll be embedded with customers - getting under the skin of their operations, understanding their data and challenges, and turning that into live, working technology.

This isn’t a “behind the scenes” engineering role - it’s about being in the field, building fast, and proving value.

You’ll spend time on customer sites (UK-wide), developing integrations, AI workflows, and automations that combine your technical depth with a customer-first mindset.

What You’ll Be Doing

Partner with enterprise customers to uncover operational pain points and design technical solutions that deliver ROI.
Prototype and deploy new AI-driven workflows and intelligent automation tools.
Build and configure integrations across React/React Native + Python/Django (with support from the wider engineering team).
Work directly with stakeholders - from engineers in the field to C-suite to shape requirements and influence roadmap priorities.
Act as a technical owner on customer deployments, driving adoption, delivery, and measurable results.
Strong foundation as a software engineer (ideally full-stack: React/React Native + Python/Django, or similar).
Now working in (or ready to step into) a customer-facing technical role - e.g. Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or Solution Architect.
Comfortable building, deploying, and iterating at speed in ambiguous environments.
Experience or curiosity in AI tools, LLMs, automation agents, or intelligent workflow systems.
Excellent communicator - able to turn complex tech into tangible business value.
Happy to travel - you’ll spend the first few weeks of each new deployment on-site with customers (UK-wide).
You’ll join a high-growth scale-up backed by leading global investors, working on technology that genuinely changes how industries operate.
Real autonomy - you’ll build, experiment, and deliver impact fast.
A culture built on collaboration, curiosity, and delivery.
UK-remote with regular in-person collaboration (London preferred).
