Social network you want to login/join with:

You will be part of a team designing and building a Gen AI virtual agent to support customers and employees across multiple channels. You will build and run LLM-powered agentic experiences, owning the design, orchestration, MLOps, and continuous improvement.

  • Design & build client-specific GenAI/LLM virtual agents
  • Enable the orchestration, management, and execution of AI-powered interactions through purpose-built AI agents
  • Design, build and maintain robust LLM powered processing workflows
  • Develop cutting edge testing suites related to bespoke LLM performance metrics
  • Develop bespoke testing suites and LLM performance metrics
  • CI/CD for ML/LLM: automated build/train/validate/deploy pipelines for chatbots and agent services
  • IaC - Infrastructure as Code, (Terraform/CloudFormation) to provision scalable cloud for training and real-time inference
  • Observability: monitoring, drift detection, hallucination, SLOs, and alerting for model and service health
  • Serving at scale: containerised, auto-scaling (e.g., Kubernetes) with low-latency inference
  • Data & model versioning; maintain a central model registry with lineage and rollback
  • Deliver a live performance dashboard (intent accuracy, latency, error rates) and a documented retraining strategy
  • Lead and foster creativity around frameworks/models; collaborate closely with product, engineering, and client stakeholders

Qualifications / Experience

  • Relevant primary level degree and ideally MSc or PhD
  • Proven expertise in mathematics and classical ML algorithms, plus deep knowledge of LLMs (prompting, fine-tuning, RAG/tool use, evaluation)
  • Hands-on with AWS and Azure services for data/ML (e.g., Bedrock/SageMaker, Azure OpenAI/Azure ML)
  • Strong engineering: Python, APIs, containers, Git; CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation)
  • Scalable Serving Infrastructure: A containerized, auto-scaling environment (e.g., using Kubernetes) to serve the chatbot model with low latency
  • Workflow Automation: Automate the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle, from data ingestion and preprocessing to model retraining and deployment
  • Live Performance Dashboard: A real-time dashboard displaying key model metrics such as intent accuracy, response latency, and error rates
  • Centralized Model Registry: A versioned repository for all trained models, their performance metrics, and associated training data
  • Documented Retraining Strategy: An automated workflow and documentation outlining the process for periodically retraining the model on new data
  • Experience with Kubernetes, inference optimisation, caching, vector stores, and model registries
  • Clear communication, stakeholder management, and a habit of writing crisp technical docs and runbooks

Personal Attributes

  • Personal Integrity, Stakeholder Management, Project Management, Agile Methodologies, Automation, Data Visualisation and Analysis.

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
