Client Partner at Propel – Building exceptional GTM teams globally
Forward Deployed Engineer ~ High-Growth AI SaaS ~ UK (Remote) but travel included
We’re working with a fast-scaling SaaS company on a mission to transform how complex, field-based industries operate – using cutting-edge AI, automation, and data-driven insights to make work safer, faster, and more efficient.
They’re now looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join the team and act as the technical bridge between product, engineering, and customers.
You’ll work directly with enterprise clients to design, prototype, and deliver real-world AI solutions that drive measurable impact.
The Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll be embedded with customers – getting under the skin of their operations, understanding their data and challenges, and turning that into live, working technology.
This isn’t a “behind the scenes” engineering role – it’s about being in the field, building fast, and proving value.
You’ll spend time on customer sites (UK-wide), developing integrations, AI workflows, and automations that combine your technical depth with a customer-first mindset.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Partner with enterprise customers to uncover operational pain points and design technical solutions that deliver ROI.
- Prototype and deploy new AI-driven workflows and intelligent automation tools.
- Build and configure integrations across React/React Native + Python/Django (with support from the wider engineering team).
- Work directly with stakeholders – from engineers in the field to C-suite to shape requirements and influence roadmap priorities.
- Act as a technical owner on customer deployments, driving adoption, delivery, and measurable results.
- Strong foundation as a software engineer (ideally full-stack: React/React Native + Python/Django, or similar).
- Now working in (or ready to step into) a customer-facing technical role – e.g. Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or Solution Architect.
- Comfortable building, deploying, and iterating at speed in ambiguous environments.
- Experience or curiosity in AI tools, LLMs, automation agents, or intelligent workflow systems.
- Excellent communicator – able to turn complex tech into tangible business value.
- Happy to travel – you’ll spend the first few weeks of each new deployment on-site with customers (UK-wide).
- You’ll join a high-growth scale-up backed by leading global investors, working on technology that genuinely changes how industries operate.
- Real autonomy – you’ll build, experiment, and deliver impact fast.
- A culture built on collaboration, curiosity, and delivery.
- UK-remote with regular in-person collaboration (London preferred).
