The Forward Deployed Engineer is the engineer GSK sends in to find out whether an AI idea will work - embedded with business unit teams, proving ideas through PoCs, PoVs, and MVPs at a days-to-weeks cadence, then handing the proven solution off to the Sr. Solutions Engineer for scale-up. The pattern is proven by AI-native companies - Anthropic, Palantir, OpenAI - and this role brings that model to GSK.\nThis senior engineer role embeds directly with business unit teams - product owners, engineering leads, and the wider BU - to understand the problem and execute. Most prototyping work is AI-augmented: AI coding assistants and multi-agent workflows handle the bulk of routine coding, freeing the FDE to focus on framing, judgement, and validation. The role works directly inside the customer’s business and emerges with working software and a defensible value hypothesis - not slideware. The FDE does not carry use cases through to long-term operations - clean handoff to the Sr. Solutions Engineer is part of the role.\nWhy This Role Exists:\nEnterprise AI’s impact depends on engineers who can close the gap between what AI can do and what the business needs - fast, embedded, and without requiring the business to specify everything upfront. The FDE is that engineer.\nProves AI ideas fast - shipping working prototypes at days-to-weeks cadence before significant investment is committed.\nWorks directly inside the business - not at arm’s length - building the trust and domain understanding that separate useful AI from academic AI.\nBuilds the organisation’s reusable AI engineering assets - every engagement distilled into patterns, agents, and reference architectures the whole team benefits from.\nKey Responsibilities:\nPoC / PoV / MVP Delivery:\nTake ownership of high-priority BU use cases from problem framing through to a working prototype, at days-to-weeks cadence, and form a defensible view on whether each should progress.\nShip first production versions directly for use cases where the path is clear - before the Sr. Solutions Engineer takes them forward to scale.\nAI-Native Engineering:\n Operate AI agent workflows (planning, coding, testing, review, documentation) for autonomous prototype delivery - selecting the right level of automation for each engagement.\nUse AI coding assistants as the default mode of building; provide judgement, course-correction, and validation.\nCustomer Embedding & Handoff:\nEmbed with BU teams - attend standups, understand the domain, prototype against real data and real workflows.\nPackage proven use cases cleanly for the Sr. Solutions Engineer - working code, architecture rationale, open risks, and scaling concerns.\nGovernance, Standards & Coaching:\nBegin Code Orange, Responsible AI, and Accountability Report conversations during prototyping - so the productionisation team does not inherit governance debt.\nContribute reusable agents, prompt templates, and reference architectures to the organisation’s pattern library after each engagement.\nForm and defend kill/continue recommendations at the end of each engagement - presenting clearly to BU and Enterprise AI leadership.\nCoach BU engineers on AI-augmented ways of working while embedded, building BU capability alongside delivery outcomes.\nRequired Functional Experience:\nOverall 15+years of full-stack or AI/ML engineering experience, including production deployments.\nDemonstrated ability to take ideas from sketch to working software at speed - startup, lab, or innovation-team background is ideal.\nStrong proficiency in Python and at least one of TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or similar.\nHands-on experience with GenAI patterns: agents, multi-agent orchestration, RAG, prompt engineering, and evaluation.\nDaily use of AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Databricks AI Assistant) as the primary mode of development.\nPreferred Experience:\nPrior experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer at an AI-native company (Anthropic, Palantir, OpenAI, or similar), or as a Customer Engineer / Solutions Architect at a hyperscaler.\nExperience in regulated industries (pharma, healthcare, financial services) and familiarity with GxP, GDPR, and SOX.\nWorking knowledge of fine-tuning fundamentals and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.\nTrack record of contributing reusable engineering patterns back to a broader team.\nEducation\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. Master’s degree/ Ph D in Mathematics, statistics, computer science or related field is advantageous.\n Skills\nArtificial Intelligence (AI), Artificial Intelligence Ethics, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNS), Classification Models, Deep Learning, Intelligent Automation (IA), Machine Learning (ML), Model Evaluation, Model Validation, Predictive Modeling, Probabilistic Modeling, Python (Programming Language), Test DocumentationWhy GSK?\nUniting science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together.\nGSK is a global biopharma company with a purpose to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together.
