Senior Software Engineer, AI | Forward Deployed Engineering

Our client, a global information services and AI technology leader serving legal, tax, audit and compliance professionals, is growing its Forward Deployed Engineering team and has 8 openings for Senior Software Engineers.

The role

This is a hands‑on build role at the point where AI meets real customers. You’ll design, build and deploy production AI applications into enterprise client environments, working directly with client stakeholders and owning your delivery from start to finish. These are engineering roles, not research or pre‑sales.

What you’ll do

• Build production LLM applications, including RAG pipelines, AI agents and multi‑step agentic workflows
• Integrate AI solutions with client systems through APIs and enterprise integrations
• Deploy and run services on cloud infrastructure
• Put evaluation, observability and monitoring in place so AI systems stay reliable in production
• Work directly with client stakeholders and take ownership of delivery

What you’ll bring

• Strong Python and backend engineering skills
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years building and deploying production AI/ML or LLM applications
• Hands‑on experience with RAG, agents and agentic workflows
• Experience with APIs, enterprise integrations and cloud deployment
• Experience with AI evaluation, observability and production reliability
• Strong communication skills and a sense of ownership when working with clients

Why this role

Real production AI rather than prototypes, a growing team, and work for clients in regulated, high‑stakes industries where accuracy and trust matter.
