Forward Deployed AI Engineer

The Forward Deployed AI Engineer embeds directly within active client and internal project teams to drive real-world adoption of AI engineering practices. Working as the delivery-facing counterpart to our internal AI R&D function, the role assesses each project's context, implements AI tools and agentic solutions where they create measurable value, and enables teams to sustain these practices independently after rollout.
