Forward Deployed Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 31, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 30, 2026.
About the Role
Join a product engineering team building AI-powered software for compliance, inspection, and certification workflows. You will work directly with customer teams to understand how their operations function and turn those needs into production-ready systems.
What You'll Do
Work alongside customer operations teams to understand real certification, inspection, and compliance workflows.
Lead customer conversations, document requirements, and build end-to-end solutions across frontend, backend, data models, and AI components.
Own product areas from discovery through launch, collaborating closely with company leadership.
Ship software early, observe how users work with it, and improve it based on direct feedback.
Use judgment to distinguish broadly useful product needs from requests that are specific to one customer.
Analyze customer documents and outputs to develop AI workflows for scheduling, technical review, conformity assessment, field inspection, and document intelligence.
What We're Looking For
Three to six years of software or product engineering experience, with systems shipped to production users.
Full-stack development skills, including Python, TypeScript, React, Node.js, SQL, data modeling, and cloud infrastructure.
Experience building products or systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage startup or founding engineering role.
Familiarity with AI/ML, large language models, or document intelligence.
Comfort working directly with customers and communicating clearly with technical and operational teams.
Strong academic or technical fundamentals and an interest in operational workflows.
Professional software engineering experience outside traditional consulting or professional services.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: £100,000 to £160,000 annually. UK visa sponsorship is available.
