Forward Deployed Engineer

InCommon is hiring on behalf of a fast growing global AI-native company.

About us

We help large enterprises accelerate AI adoption and unlock their full potential — combining a complete AI operating system with local deployment teams that get AI into production quickly.

We're 700 people across 30+ locations, working with airlines, banks, insurers and hospitals: the institutions that touch everyone's daily life and are the hardest to change. Our platform is a horizontal layer across an enterprise's existing systems, letting them build, deploy and govern AI agents at scale — model-agnostic by design, so we use the best model for each task.

Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you'll solve high-impact, real-world

problems alongside enterprise customers and own work from first principles through production

outcomes. You'll work directly with customers to understand critical workflows, design AI-driven solutions, and deploy agents that operate reliably in production. You'll own projects end-to-end from problem definition and system design to launch and iteration - and be accountable for real business impact.

This is a hands on-generalist role for engineers who enjoy navigating ambiguity, learning

quickly, and working across systems while partnering with enterprises as they become AI-driven

organizations.

What You'll Do

• Partner with customers to understand operational challenges and success criteria
• Translate open-ended problems into clear technical designs and implementations
• Build AI agents that integrate with customer systems and perform real tasks
• Own deployments, including reliability, performance, and continuous improvement
• Test with real data, measure outcomes, and iterate based on results
• Collaborate with Product & Engineering to ship high-quality solutions
• Contribute to tools, documentation, and best practices that scale customer delivery

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in technical problem-solving roles
• Experience leading or contributing to solution scoping, discovery workshops, or
• early-stage AI/technical strategy in collaboration with sales, product, or delivery teams
• Strong fundamentals in software design, system design
• Clear communication skills and a strong ownership mindset
• High-agency mindset: you don't wait for perfect requirements and are comfortable
• creating clarity, proposing direction, and driving decisions
• Experience working across systems, integrations, and data flows
• Comfort working directly with customers and owning ambiguous problems
• Curiosity and interest in building AI-powered systems that work in practice

Nice to Have

• Experience in forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or customer-facing roles
• Exposure to AI agents, automation, or conversational systems
• Experience operating and improving production systems
