Forward Deployed Engineer

An Engineer working from inside your business.

Hands-On AI Implementation

The typical AI engagement pattern:

A Consultant visits, makes recommendations, produces a document, and leaves. The problems that required real technical depth and familiarity with your systems remain unsolved.

How are we any different from other 'Consultants'?

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) works differently. Instead of advising from the outside, an FDE embeds directly with your organisation: sitting inside your team, working inside your infrastructure, and writing production-grade code against your actual systems.

What does an FDE do?

Here's how an FDE helps from inside your organisation:

Connects AI to your existing systems

CRM, databases, project tools, communication platforms, and legacy infrastructure that standard integrations cannot reach.

Builds custom data pipelines and API connections

Makes your AI tools communicate with each other and with the rest of your technology stack.

Identifies high-value AI opportunities

From inside your operations, not from a slide deck built on surface-level discovery.

Transfers knowledge to your internal team

Capability will stay inside your organisation after the engagement ends.

Engagement Structure

FDE engagements are scoped to what will actually deliver results. Some organisations need a defined project with a clear delivery milestone. Others need an ongoing embedded resource as their AI environment grows. We have 2 options available:

Project-based

Defined scope, clear milestone, fixed outcome. Best when you have a specific AI integration or build to complete.

Ongoing embedded

A continuous technical resource as your AI environment expands. Best for organisations actively scaling AI.
