Job Description
We are seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to join Sia’s AI Factory (AIF), embedded directly within a client’s engineering, product,
or service team. The FDE is a hybrid role that pairs hands-on software engineering with client-facing delivery, sitting close to the client to close platform gaps and ship production use cases in parallel, rather than working at arm’s length through a traditional delivery layer.
Key Responsibilities:
• Work embedded full time within the client’s engineering, product, or service team, participating directly in their planning, standups, and delivery cadence.
• Close platform gaps in real time: build the missing components, connectors, or tooling the client’s platform doesn’t yet provide.
• Deliver production use cases in parallel with platform build-out, balancing near-term delivery pressure against longer-term platform health.
• Integrate with the client’s approved tools, APIs, and governance frameworks (e.g. controlled AI gateways) rather than introducing external dependencies.
