About the role
Forward Deployed Engineers sit at the intersection of engineering and client delivery.

Configure and customise platforms (AI e-forms, expense management, social analytics and related products) for client deployments
Integrate third-party APIs (Google, Meta, messaging and business systems) into web applications
Assist in building Generative AI features — prompts, LLM workflows, document extraction and retrieval — using tools such as OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and LangChain
Collaborate with the creative, account servicing and engineering teams to design, test and launch new features
Help instrument and analyse tracking metrics to identify user pain points
Follow team best practices around development, testing, source control and deployment
Prepare demos, documentation and handover materials for clients

Basic understanding of SQL databases (e.g. MySQL) and Git; exposure to NoSQL (e.g. MongoDB) or Docker is a plus

Internship, part-time or freelance experience delivering a web application for a real user
Personal or academic projects using Generative AI tools (OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, LangChain)

What We Have
