Job Description

We're looking for a skilled Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team in Sydney. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will partner with customers to turn research breakthroughs into production systems. You will own discovery, technical scoping, system design, build, and production rollout, partnering directly with customer engineering and domain teams.

Your success will be measured through production adoption, measurable workflow impact, and eval-driven feedback that changes product and model roadmaps. You'll work closely with our Product, Research, Partnerships, GRC, Security, and GTM teams.

This role is based in Sydney and requires travel up to 50%. We offer relocation assistance and a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week.

If you have 5+ years of engineering or technical deployment experience, including customer-facing work, and have scoped and delivered complex systems in fast-moving or ambiguous environments, we'd love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Owning technical delivery across multiple deployments from first prototype to stable production.
  • Building full-stack systems that deliver customer value and sharpen how we learn.
  • Embedding closely with customer teams, understanding their needs, and guiding adoption of what you build.
  • Scoping work, sequencing delivery, and removing blockers early.
  • Making trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality; adjusting plans to protect delivery.
  • Contributing directly in the code when progress or clarity depends on it.
  • Codifying working patterns into tools, playbooks, or building blocks that others can use.
  • Sharing field feedback that helps Research and Product understand where the models succeed and where they can improve.
  • Keeping teams moving through clarity and follow-through.

If you're a collaborative problem-solver with excellent communication skills and a passion for delivering complex systems, we encourage you to apply.
