How will you impact?
As a Forward Deployed Engineer you will build and ship AI-powered products directly alongside senior investment professionals, portfolio leaders, and corporate teams, solving complex, high-stakes financial challenges through technology.
This is a deliberately broad and hands-on role. You will move fluently across frontend, backend, data, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI, owning solutions end-to-end, from a whiteboard session with a deal or risk team, through rapid prototyping and validation, to a secure, scalable, enterprise-grade service running in production.
Being forward deployed means spending significant time embedded with the people who use what you build across investment, portfolio management, risk, finance, and legal. You will translate ambiguous business problems into working software in days and weeks, continuously iterate based on real-world feedback, and evolve solutions that prove their value into durable capabilities across the wider platform.
Your key responsibilities:
Your responsibilities include, but not limited to:
- Embed directly within investment, portfolio, risk, and corporate teams to understand workflows and decision points, translating ambiguous business problems into functional software solutions.
- Lead rapid discovery and prototyping cycles, using strong hands-on coding and AI-assisted development to deliver working software early and continuously iterate based on user feedback.
