Start Date: Flexible
A high-growth technology company is seeking a mission-driven Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDE) to join its London team. This is a unique opportunity for engineers with strong data and product instincts who want to build impactful solutions that drive real-world change across industries.
Why Join?
* Competitive base salary: £80,000-£100,000
* Generous equity package
* Comprehensive benefits including private healthcare and pension
* Work on meaningful, high-impact projects with real operational outcomes
* Collaborate with high-performing teammates in a fast-paced, startup-like environment

The Company
This organisation partners with ambitious enterprises and government agencies to solve their most critical challenges. It builds custom software products that integrate enterprise data into operator-focused workflows, enabling transformative outcomes at speed. The company operates more like a product startup than a traditional consultancy - valuing velocity, ingenuity, and grit.
The Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work directly with stakeholders to understand their most valuable challenges and build operationalised software solutions that drive measurable impact. You’ll be embedded with clients, iterating quickly, and delivering end-to-end applications that reshape how organisations operate. This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong focus on data, customer collaboration, and real-world outcomes.
Essential Requirements
* Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript
* Experience with distributed systems (e.g. Spark, Kafka, Hadoop)
* Background in AI/ML, ideally with exposure to GenAI or LLMs
* SC Clearance
* Strong communication skills and ability to gather requirements from non-technical stakeholders
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field
What Will Make You Stand Out
* Experience building production ML or LLM-based solutions
* Experience delivering React-based frontend applications
* Track record of solving enterprise-level problems
* Experience in client-facing or consulting-style roles
If you're excited by the idea of building software that directly impacts how organisations operate - and want to work with a team that values ownership, speed, and mission - you’re encouraged to apply.
