A bit about us:
Our client is a leading data analytics and technology consulting firm that partners with private equity firms and their portfolio companies to solve complex business challenges through AI, advanced analytics, and modern data engineering. Their teams design and deploy intelligent, agentic solutions that improve decision-making across functions including sales, operations, marketing, pricing, and customer strategy. This is a client-facing role with occasional travel to customer sites to support strategic engagements and solution delivery.
Why join us?
What We're Looking For:
A successful Forward Deployed Engineer combines strong technical expertise with exceptional customer-facing experience, serving as the bridge between external stakeholders and engineering teams. The ideal candidate has partnered directly with clients to gather requirements, design technical solutions, manage expectations, and deliver software that solves real business problems. They are equally comfortable leading conversations with executives, business leaders, and technical teams, building trusted relationships while translating complex technical concepts into clear business outcomes. Rather than simply writing code, they take the time to understand a customer's business challenges, ask thoughtful questions, communicate technical tradeoffs, and move seamlessly between the boardroom and the codebase as both a trusted advisor and hands-on engineer.
What We Do:
AI & Data Engineering
