• Work directly with customers to understand workflows and identify opportunities for automation
• Translate business processes into agent logic, actions, decision rules and fallback processes
• Build and deploy AI agents and integrations
• Integrate AI agents with ERPs, portals, spreadsheets, email and custom systems
• Debug and improve live AI agents in production
• Lead technical customer sessions and build relationships with senior stakeholders
• Create reusable deployment templates, patterns and runbooks
• Feed customer insights back into Product and Engineering

What they’re looking for:

• 5+ years’ experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Applied AI Engineer, Technical Consultant or similar hands-on delivery role
• Proven experience shipping AI/agentic systems into production within customer environments
• Strong hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks, prompt engineering, APIs and MCP
• Experience owning the full delivery lifecycle from customer scoping through to go-live
• Comfortable working with REST APIs, JSON and webhooks

• Experience working with enterprise customers and complex workflows
• Happy to travel across the UK and Europe around 3 days per week during active deployments
• Experience in retail, e-commerce, CPG, supply chain, procurement, manufacturing or logistics would be a bonus.

Remote when not travelling

This would suit someone who wants to stay hands-on while working at the intersection of AI, technology and customer delivery.
