About the Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer of Applied AI, you design and build the agentic AI system components that turn customer objectives into deployed, production-ready AI solutions.

You embed directly within customer environments, working closely with Product Owners, business stakeholders, and engineering teams. Problems often arrive without a full specification, and you help break that ambiguity down, choosing patterns that suit the problem rather than reaching for a default.

Forward Deployed Engineering  combines strong software and AI engineering with ownership of quality in production. You own the evaluation and observability of what you build, contribute to the IaC and CI/CD practices that get work into production, and are an active contributor to architectural conversations and designs.

You are trusted to review other engineers’ technical work, guide and upskill them on technical standards and approaches, and communicate technical messages clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Responsibilities

• Own the delivery of AI and software components you design and build within customer engagements
• Partner with customer Product Owners and stakeholders to turn loosely specified problems into deliverable solutions
• Understand how your technical solutions impact the business and the benefits they deliver, and spot new opportunities within accounts
• Contribute to the design and build of agentic AI systems, including multi-agent orchestration, tools, and prompt and memory management
• Choose the right pattern for each problem, rather than defaulting to a standard approach
• Own evaluation for what you build, with eval suites covering expected, edge, and adversarial cases run continuously
• Instrument components to monitor agent behaviour, cost, and latency in production, and use observability to diagnose and fix failures
• Contribute to infrastructure as code and CI/CD practices that get work into production
• Support pre-sales activity and actively contribute to architectural conversations, following V2 AI’s Technical Consulting Tenets
• Estimate technical effort for familiar work, contribute to project meetings, and clearly communicate status, risks, and blockers
• Guide and upskill engineers on technical standards, and review their work with constructive feedback
• Contribute to V2 AI accelerators, share your work through lightning talks and demos, and represent V2 AI in the community

What You Will Get:

• Competitive salary package
• Pick your equipment
• Gifted Day Off ("VersionUp Day")
• Generous parental leave
• Well-funded startup environment
• Annual training budget
• Mentorship program
• Clear promotion pathways
• Flexible working arrangements
• Meet-ups & socials
• 97% rating on corporate social responsibility
