If you enjoy solving complex robotics challenges using modern C++, ROS2 and real-world control systems, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Developing modern C++ software for autonomous robotic systems
  • Building and maintaining ROS2-based robotic applications
  • Working on motion planning, trajectory generation and robot control
  • Integrating perception, sensor and vision systems
  • Collaborating with software, electronics and mechanical engineering teams

What We're Looking For

  • Strong modern C++ experience
  • Commercial ROS2 experience
  • Robotics, automation or autonomous systems background
  • Linux development experience
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

Nice To Have

  • ROS2 Control
  • Docker
  • Embedded Linux
  • Distributed systems
  • Computer vision or perception systems

Benefits

  • Hybrid working
  • Profit share / share options
  • Flexible working hours
  • Long-term career progression
  • Cutting-edge robotics projects
  • Collaborative engineering environment

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.
