Additional Information

Location : London Office requirement : 2 days in the office - Significant travel required Employment type : Permanent Seniority level : Principal At GWI we're always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we're looking for an Forward Deployed Engineer to play a key role in our Solutions Consultants Team in London. If that's you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary. Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔 As our Lead / Principal Forward Deployed Engineer you'll be embedded directly with our most strategic accounts, owning the end-to-end technical deployment of our agentic AI platform. This isn't a support role, and it isn't a solutions consultant with a fancy title - you'll write production code, own technical outcomes, and be the reason our biggest customers succeed and expand. You'll operate with the autonomy of a founding engineer and the commercial instinct of a GTM leader. A few things you'll be responsible for: 👉 Embed with our Tier 1 enterprise accounts and own end-to-end deployments of our agentic AI platform - from discovery through to production, including bespoke integrations, data pipelines, and workflow automations. 👉 Lead AI agents into production in complex environments (legacy systems, security, compliance), turning cutting-edge capability into measurable business outcomes. 👉 Partner with Enterprise AEs in late-stage sales cycles - leading proof-of-concept builds and assessing technical readiness to de-risk and accelerate the close. 👉 Surface patterns from the field and feed them back to product and engineering, acting as the bridge between customer reality and roadmap. 👉 Build out the FDE practice as it scales: repeatable deployment playbooks, success metrics, and mentoring mid-level FDEs. It's also fun; shaking things up is what working for GWI is all about. You'll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment. What do I need to bring with me? 🧳 You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. Here's what the team will be looking for in you: 👉 Significant experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a customer-facing technical role - with meaningful time spent shipping production code in complex enterprise environments. 👉 Demonstrable experience deploying AI or data-heavy products into large organisations - real production deployments, not just POCs. 👉 Strong full-stack or backend engineering fundamentals: Python essential, plus comfort across APIs, SQL, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and data pipelines. 👉 The ability to work through ambiguity and turn it into a concrete technical plan. 👉 Clear communication across technical and business audiences - you can tailor the same idea for an engineering lead and a commercial stakeholder. 👉 Willingness to travel to client sites across the UK and Europe (approximately 30-50% of the time).
