AI Forward Deployed Engineer in London

Central London · Full-time, office-based

This role gives you real clients, real financial processes, and real decisions to make from day one.

About Trubrics

Trubrics builds AI agents that solve real problems for real estate finance teams - automating the invoicing and payments work that currently eats up their time. They’re backed by Pi Labs, live with enterprise clients already, and growing fast.

How they work

They care most about ownership - even their most junior people are expected to take real responsibility for their work, not wait to be told what to do. They’re collaborative and straightforward with each other, and they expect the same back. They prioritise by what actually moves the needle for clients, not what looks good on a roadmap - every pilot they’ve run so far has converted into a paying deployment.

The role

You’ll be their second or third Forward Deployed Engineer, joining their first FDE hire, who can show you the ropes. You’ll be embedded with real clients, building and deploying agents that solve their actual invoicing and payments problems.

Early on, that looks like:

• Maintaining and improving agents already live with clients - fixing bugs, incorporating feedback, learning how the systems actually get used.
• Getting properly under the hood of their stack: Python, GCP, Temporal for workflow orchestration, and the OpenAI Agents SDK across OpenAI and Anthropic models.

As you build trust and experience, that grows into:

• Owning delivery and enhancement work independently.
• Sitting in client workshops and leading implementation conversations.
• Eventually running full engagements for new clients from scratch - discovery, scoping, design, deployment.

What they’re looking for

• Strong Python experience - non-negotiable, since that’s what their agents are built in.
• Demonstrated curiosity of how far to push AI coding.
• Solid early-career experience as a software or ML engineer - you’ve already shipped real, production code.
• Real, demonstrable interest in building with AI - side projects and self-directed learning count.
• Comfort with ambiguity - they don’t have every process defined yet.
• The ability to explain what you’re building to people who aren’t engineers.
• Genuine curiosity about the commercial side of what you’re building.

You don’t need to have worked at an AI-native company before. That’s exactly the kind of profile that’s worked well for them already.

What you don’t need

• A real estate, finance-ops or ERP background - they’ll teach you what matters.

What’s on offer

• £60,000–£70,000 depending on experience, plus equity.
• Direct, hands-on time with both founders through onboarding and beyond.
• A real say in how things get done.
• A genuine path forward - strong performers can expect to grow into Senior FDE, and beyond that, into leadership as the team scales.

Worth knowing before you apply

They work from their office near Tottenham Court Road, typically five days a week, with occasional flexibility when it’s needed. If you’re looking for a remote-first or hybrid-first role, this isn’t it.

On process: it starts with a conversation with Jake at ISL Talent, then a 30-minute conversation each with Joel and Jeff, followed by a paid, in-person working half-day.

They move quickly once someone’s the right fit - typically a matter of weeks, not months, from a strong first conversation to an offer.
