Forward Deployed Engineer - LLM/Gen AI

Job Role: Forward Deployed Engineer - LLM/Gen AI

Experience: 5-10yrs

Location: Bengaluru (Remote)

Notice Period: Immediate or max 15days preferred

Technical Skills Required

- Solid understanding of data platforms — data lakes, pipelines, transformation, and how data flows from source to AI model

- Working knowledge of Generative AI, LLMs, and RAG pipelines — enough to scope deliverables and review outputs critically

- Ability to read and understand data models, architecture diagrams, and API specs — you don't write production code but understand what's being built

- Cloud platforms — AWS and/or Azure — data and AI services at a conceptual and delivery level

- Familiarity with Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalent — enough for informed conversations with data engineers

- Experience using AI platforms and tools to rapidly prototype and demonstrate solutions to clients

Delivery & Client Skills Required

- 6–10 years in AI/data product delivery, technical consulting, or engineering — not pure product management

- Proven ability to run discovery independently — without a senior consultant holding your hand

- Strong client-facing presence — comfortable presenting to senior business and technology stakeholders

- Experience writing SOWs, project proposals, or technical specifications that get signed off by clients

- Track record of owning delivery outcomes — accountable for the result, not just managing tasks

- Experience in consulting, professional services, or embedded delivery model strongly preferred

- Ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced pod environment
