What it's about

As a Forward Deployed Engineer/AI Engineer in our AI Pods, you'll work at the heart of the business to identify, validate, and deliver AI solutions.

Design and deliver AI products end-to-end, from problem definition through prototype, pilot, and production handover.
Build AI-powered solutions.
Develop robust datasets along with retrieval and reasoning pipelines across different business functionalities.
Integrate with vendor AI platforms and internal AI solutions, reusing existing capabilities where possible.
Instrument solutions to track adoption, quality, business value, ROI, cost, and risk.
Partner with technology team to ensure secure, compliant, auditable, and supportable solutions.
Run rapid evaluation cycles and contribute reusable components, patterns, and tools for wider adoption.
