Sounds great what will I be doing

As our Lead / Principal Forward Deployed Engineer youll be embedded directly with our most strategic accounts owning the end-to-end technical deployment of our agentic AI platform. This isnt a support role and it isnt a solutions consultant with a fancy title youll write production code own technical outcomes and be the reason our biggest customers succeed and expand. Youll operate with the autonomy of a founding engineer and the commercial instinct of a GTM leader.

A few things youll 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.

Its also fun; shaking things up is what working for GWI is all about. Youll need to be flexible comfortable with continuous change and working in a high-tempo environment.

What do I need to bring with me

Youll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You dont have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that youre willing to learn.
Heres 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 3050% of the time).

Nice to have:

Hands-on experience with LLM deployment AI agents or agentic workflow automation.

A background in a high-growth B2B SaaS or AI-native company.

Experience in one or more of GWIs core verticals: financial services media & agencies consumer goods or technology.

Prior experience in an FDE solutions architect or technical account management function at a company with a named-account enterprise motion.

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact) ask why (to find a better way) and show respect (to everyone at every level all the time). Those are our values and theyre a big part of what were looking for in you.

Whats in it for me
