Forward deployment developer

Kindgeek is looking for a business-minded engineer who thrives at the intersection of code and real-world problems. Your mission will be to embed directly with business users understanding how they work, designing automation that fits, and shipping production-grade AI agents that make their day-to-day measurably easier. This role sits at the centre of our AI automation programme, where engineering rigour meets commercial judgment. RESPONSIBILITIES As a Forward Deployment Engineer, you will be responsible for: Engaging directly with business stakeholders to identify high-value automation opportunities and translate them into clear engineering requirements; Designing, building, and deploying AI agents and automated workflows using our internal agent framework, writing production-quality Python throughout; Owning the full delivery lifecycle of each initiative scoping, development, testing, deployment, and handover to business users; Instrumenting agents for observability and building test harnesses that validate behaviour before and after deployment, with explicit failure modes and graceful degradation; Maintaining a short feedback loop with stakeholders surfacing blockers and scope changes early rather than resolving them quietly; Documenting solutions clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences, treating documentation as part of the deliverable; Contributing to the evolution of our agent framework, including reusable components, prompt patterns, and evaluation tooling. REQUIREMENTS We're looking for a Forward Deployment Engineer who has: 3–5 years of relevant engineering experience (we'll consider exceptional candidates below this band); Production-grade Python proficiency — clean, testable, maintainable code, with ownership of what you ship; Experience building and deploying automated workflows or AI agents in a business context (LLM orchestration, tool-use, RAG, or similar); Ability to design and implement evaluation and test harnesses for non-deterministic systems; Comfort working across the stack — API integration, data transformation, prompt engineering, deployment infrastructure; Strong communication skills with non-technical stakeholders, translating between business needs and engineering specifics without losing precision; A proactive working style — you raise issues early, share status without prompting, and escalate rather than paper over problems; Fluent English, written and spoken. Will be a plus: Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline tooling and deployment automation; Experience querying cloud-scale analytical data warehouses for data-driven applications; Experience in financial services, asset management, or another regulated industry.
