numi partners with a fast-growing, founder-led AI startup building autonomous agents for some of the world's largest engineering and infrastructure enterprises, to find their next
Forward Deployed Engineer .
This is a rare seat at the sharp end of a genuine first-mover product.
It's a ~15-person, profitable, founder-owned business that has spent the last year pivoting from tooling into a full agentic platform, is already live with major enterprise pilots showing strong retention, and is joining at a pivotal moment as it scales fast.
You'll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with the founder and the company's biggest customers, translating what enterprise clients actually need into what gets built, then owning that build end-to-end.
When something breaks, you're the one at the table with the client, fixing it.
What we need
A computer science degree, or an equally strong, hands-on CS background.
This one is non-negotiable.
Serious, demonstrable coding ability: this is a builder role first, so pure research or data-science-only profiles won't be the right fit.
Forward Deployed / Applied AI pedigree, ideally from a frontier AI company.
Startup instincts over pure enterprise polish, comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast.
The confidence to challenge a founder productively inside a direct, high-ownership culture.
Package
base salary is not capped for the right person, think significant six figures (up to circa £250k for a standout profile), plus meaningful early equity, joining ahead of a real inflection point for the business.
Location
London, office-based.
