Job description

VP of Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE)

Customer & Solutions · Riyadh, Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia · Senior level

This is a leadership role for someone who has run customer facing technical delivery teams and can build that function here. The job is to take AI systems into live use inside government and enterprise clients, own the outcomes, and keep the team close to the technical work. A strong candidate brings a record of shipping complex deployments in regulated settings, solid grounding in architecture, data and AI, and the presence to advise senior client leaders in both Arabic and English.

How it fits the AI era

The work sits where AI meets real operations, so the role is less about models and more about getting them trusted, secure and used day to day. AI speeds up parts of building and testing, but judging what a client actually needs, navigating approvals and standing behind a system after go live stay human. Turning field lessons into repeatable playbooks is how the company keeps improving as the technology shifts.

How it builds AI experience

Someone here would gain hands on exposure to production generative AI work such as retrieval, agents and evaluation, applied to financial crime prevention and knowledge intelligence for demanding clients. That experience comes from leading real deployments in restricted and on premise settings and feeding what is learned back into the platform. Familiarity with Saudi data, security and AI governance expectations would deepen it further.

Worth showing

• Leading technical delivery teams
• Architecture and systems review
• Arabic and English fluency
