YOUR ROLE

As Lead Forward Deployed Engineer, you take full ownership of delivering AI-powered products from early discovery through pilot to production to adoption. You will embed closely with Fortune 1000 clients in sectors like finance, retail, and energy, translating ambiguous, high-impact business problems into scalable AI-native solutions.

This hands-on, client-facing role requires deep full-stack expertise and daily use of AI coding tools to accelerate development and maintain high quality. You don’t just write code, you lead workshops, present to senior executives, and ensure your solutions create real user value. If you thrive in ambiguity and end-to-end ownership, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

- End-to-end project delivery: Lead discovery, scope work, architect, develop prototypes, and deliver stable production-ready AI systems.

- Client engagement: Run discovery sessions, frame complex needs, manage expectations, and build trust with technical and executive stakeholders.

- Team leadership: Mentor engineers, foster AI-native best practices, and nurture autonomous AI-augmented delivery teams.

- Strategic advising: Collaborate with Sales and Presales to craft compelling proposals and solution designs.

- AI-native excellence: Champion prompt engineering, output validation, guardrails, fallback strategies, and embed Gen-e²™ methodology in every engagement.

- Continuous improvement: Capture field insights to strengthen delivery tools, playbooks, and accelerate scalable client success.

WHO YOU ARE

- 10+ years of hands-on software engineering with proven client-facing delivery experience.

- Skilled at independently managing all project phases from discovery to production with minimal oversight.

- Deep full-stack expertise (preferably ReactJS front-end; .NET, Java, or Python back-end), with eagerness to learn new stacks and platforms.

- Experienced in deploying LLM- or generative AI-powered systems, understanding the nuances of AI behavior in product design.

- Strong architecture and design capabilities coupled with excellent communication and stakeholder management.

- Autonomous, proactive, outcome-oriented, and comfortable leading senior conversations.

- Experience mentoring or leading small teams.

- You're fluent in French and English with excellent communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.

- Familiarity with enterprise constraints - risk, compliance, complex stakeholder environments.

CORE AI-NATIVE & GEN-E²™ SKILLS

- Daily, hands-on use of AI tools integral to your development workflow.

- Expertise in prompt engineering and context management to maximize AI effectiveness.

- Critical evaluation of AI-generated outputs to ensure reliability and quality.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
