Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

Forward Deployed Engineer FDE) / Permanent Role / London Hybrid / Start ASAP

Role Summary:

This is a high impact, multi-hat role for a "builder" who can operate at the intersection of complex software engineering and high level customer strategy. Unlike a traditional solutions architect, a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at the client must be a world class engineer who can also sit in front of a COO or CEO to unearth and solve their most ambiguous business problems.

Candidate Background & Skills:

• Technical Excellence: You must be a top tier engineer; the team considers it a "bare minimum" that you are already experimenting with multi agent setups and advanced AI interfaces.
• Systemic Thinking: Ability to see the "big picture" and understand how various systems (CRM, ERP, Email) stitch together to create a "system of work" rather than just a point solution.
• Hustle & Grit: Ideally an ex founder or someone who was an early employee at a high growth startup; someone with a "chip on their shoulder" and a point to prove.
• Experience (Optional but Valued): Background in "big hearty systems" (e.g. Palantir style forward deployment) or a deep interest in human computer interface design.

Culture:

• Equity: The client has an equity heavy culture; they prefer candidates who choose higher equity stakes because they believe in the long term mission.
• Autonomy: A "no rules" culture that hires "highly autonomous adults." There is no "FaceTime culture" or strict 9-5; the focus is entirely on output and problem solving.
• Logistics: The company is willing to relocate and sponsor visas for the right "super candidate".
