Forward Deployed Engineer

The Role As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Cyclomedia, you are building the infrastructure that determines how an entire organisation uses AI — not maintaining it, not extending it, building it from the ground up. You are one of two FDEs on the AI Platform team, with a clear mandate: make it possible for every team in the company to deploy AI-powered tools in production, safely and at scale. This is not a prototyping role. The decisions you make now will shape how Cyclomedia works with AI for years to come. You own the full stack: the shared app framework, the deploy pipeline, the agentic monitoring layer, and the data architecture that keeps the landscape coherent as it grows. In the next phase, you embed directly into business teams — identifying where AI can have the most impact and shipping production applications alongside the people who need them. Key Responsibilities • Platform ownership: Design and own the shared infrastructure that lets anyone in the organisation deploy AI tools safely — without creating technical debt, security risk, or fragmentation. • Agentic monitoring: Build and operate the monitoring layer that keeps all deployed AI applications coherent, secure, and continuously improving — with you as the human in the loop when automated systems need judgment. • Data architecture: Maintain the schema registry and data architecture across all AI applications as the landscape scales. • Landscape stewardship: Catch duplication, integration opportunities, and emerging risk before they become problems. You are the person who keeps standards high as the platform grows. • Forward deployment: Once the platform foundation is in place, move into teams directly — identify where AI adds the most value and build production applications alongside the people who need them.
