Zusammenfassung

EY is seeking a hands-on Lead Forward Deployed Engineer to own end-to-end delivery of AI-native systems for a single client engagement in highly regulated industries. The role is embedded with the client, combining deep technical work with stakeholder management to ensure secure, production-grade outcomes.

You will lead a small cell, translate real business needs into executable solutions, and maintain technical direction while ensuring safe and cost-aware deployments.

Qualifikationen

• 8+ years delivering complex enterprise systems in regulated or client-facing contexts.
• Hands-on engineering depth across integration-heavy architectures, cloud platforms, and distributed systems.
• Experience with modern AI-enabled application stacks (e.g., agentic systems, orchestration frameworks, LLM-backed services).
• Proven ability to operate in forward-deployed, customer-facing, or solutions-architecture roles, owning outcomes end to end.
• Demonstrated ability to lead a small technical team while remaining an individual contributor.
• Strong stakeholder-management skills, including managing client expectations under pressure.
• Solid understanding of software delivery lifecycle, quality gates, and production readiness in enterprise settings.

Aufgaben

• Own end-to-end outcome delivery for the cell, including scoping, tradeoffs, technical direction, and production readiness.
• Embed directly with the client to define the real problem and translate ambiguous business needs into an executable technical solution under regulatory constraints.
• Serve as the primary technical interface and trusted advisor to client stakeholders, managing expectations and tradeoffs.
• Stay hands-on, personally designing and building critical parts of the solution and diving into client systems when needed.
• Deploy, adapt, and stabilize solutions in the client environment using templates, owning release readiness and runtime accountability.
• Direct the work of the cell’s Implementation Engineer and Data Engineer to ensure integrations and data readiness.
• Ensure every deployment meets safety, integrity, and cost constraints, partnering with control authorities.
