Description
We are looking for a technically adept, customer-centric Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) based in London to lead high-impact technical deployments and own the bridge between complex industrial environments and modern data architecture.
What You'll Do
- Own End-to-End Deployments: Immerse yourself in customer technical and operational ecosystems - mapping IT-to-OT landscapes, siloed data sources, and process data models.
- Deploy Edge & Connectivity: Scope, deploy, and manage edge compute devices and industrial networking infrastructure directly on-site for reliable data collection.
- Build Data Pipelines & AI Workflows: Write and optimize high-performance SQL and Python data pipelines that power real-time analytics, dashboards, and platform AI features.
- Act as a Trusted Strategist: Partner closely with C-suite executives, plant managers, and frontline workers to scope ambiguous business challenges and translate them into robust software solutions.
- Drive Product Evolution: Serve as the critical feedback loop between field deployments and core engineering to influence our product roadmap.
- Travel Globally: Embark on international deployment projects to see firsthand how the physical world is made.
What We're Looking For
- Experience: 5+ years in a technical deployment, embedded engineering, solutions architecture, or client-facing technical role.
- Core Technical Skills: Deep, hands-on knowledge of SQL (required) and proficiency in Python (or an equivalent general-purpose language).
- Infrastructure & Networking: Experience with networking, edge compute, Docker/Kubernetes, or infrastructure components.
- Industrial Familiarity: Prior exposure to Operational Technology (OT) environments - such as PLCs, industrial protocols, and manufacturing systems is highly valued.
- Problem-Solving Agility: Exceptional ability to scope ambiguous business challenges and rapidly iterate on-site to build stable, mission-critical systems.
- Mindset & Mobility: An entrepreneurial, adaptable attitude with a genuine excitement for global travel and hands-on site dynamics.
Why Join Us?
- Real-World Impact: Move beyond generic SaaS or ad-tech. Your code and architecture will directly optimize global manufacturing and eliminate industrial waste.
- Elite Culture & Autonomy: Work alongside a world-class team modeled on high-ownership, fast-moving FDE deployment playbooks.
- Ground-Floor Upside: Join early post-funding with competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and rapid career growth headroom.
If you are an engineer who loves bridging complex distributed systems with real-world physical operations, we would love to hear from you.
