Forward Deployed Engineer — Agentic AI
Velocity TechAbout the role
We’ve partnered with an innovative US-based technology company that is looking for an experienced Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join their growing team.
This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of agentic AI, building and deploying sophisticated AI solutions directly within client environments. You’ll play a key role in helping organisations move beyond experimentation and turn LLMs and AI agents into scalable, production-ready systems.
The Role
As an FDE, you’ll work closely with both technical and business stakeholders to understand complex challenges, design practical AI solutions, and deploy them into real-world enterprise environments.
You’ll be responsible for building solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise systems, data platforms and cloud infrastructure, working hands-on from initial concept through to production deployment.
This is a highly collaborative and client-facing role, ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, working at pace, and seeing the direct impact of the solutions they build.
What We’re Looking For
8+ years of commercial software engineering experience, ideally at Senior or equivalent level.
Strong Python development skills, alongside hands-on experience building AI/LLM applications.
Proven experience building agentic AI platforms and multi-agent systems, using frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI or AutoGen.
Strong understanding of LLM orchestration, RAG, tool use, memory and AI-driven workflows.
Experience integrating AI systems with APIs, enterprise platforms, data sources and cloud services.
Hands-on Kubernetes experience, with the ability to deploy and operate production workloads.
Experience designing and deploying solutions across cloud, on-premise and hybrid environments.
Excellent communication and client-facing consulting skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Comfortable operating in fast-moving, highly iterative environments, where requirements evolve and solutions are continuously refined.
