Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer (AI & Full-Stack)

Remote (UK-based)

6-Month Initial Contract

£60 per hour (Umbrella) Inside IR35

A well established firm is looking for a hands‑on Forward Deployed Engineer to join a fast‑growing global team developing an intelligent automation platform for enterprise finance operations (Contract-to-Cash).

This isn't an isolated product‑development role or a high‑level consultancy position. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will operate at the intersection of engineering and live customer operations. You will build, adapt, and refine production software directly where the platform interacts with real enterprise financial processes-handling everything from billing and trade booking to collections.

Your core responsibility is simple: ensuring the entire system works reliably end‑to‑end in live customer environments.

What You'll Be Doing Day-to-Day

• Build Practical Features: Write code that hooks smart automated tasks directly into day-to-day finance operations.
• erations.
• Add Human Oversight: Build simple approval steps and fallback flows so business users can check and sign off on complex automated actions.
• Write Backend Code: Build and maintain backend services, messaging tools, and database routines in Go.
• Update the User Interface: Make targeted updates to screens and forms using React and TypeScript so clients can see and use new features.
• Connect Existing Software: Plug our system into standard client software (like SAP, Microsoft Teams/Outlook, and internal databases).
• Fix End-to-End Bugs: Track down issues across the whole system-from a button glitch on screen down through the background servers, data pipelines, and logins.
• Keep Code Clean: Write solid automated tests for your changes and participate in regular team code reviews.

Essential Skills

• Proven Engineering Experience (5+ years in software, solutions, or delivery)
• Proficient in programming language Go
• Solid experience with React / TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with GCP (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub)
• Hands on experience with Kafka / Messaging
• Prior working experience with PostgreSQL / SQL
• Practical AI Agents (Tool-calling, MCP, Vertex AI) Remote (UK-based) | 6-Month Initial Contract | £60 per hour (Umbrella) Inside IR35

If you thrive on solving complex integration challenges and want to build practical automation in live enterprise environments, we'd love to hear from you.
