Description

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team in Madrid, Spain. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be part of a team of specialists focused on troubleshooting, fixing, and resolving complex issues in live customer deployments.

You will own issues end-to-end, from triage and investigation to resolution, validation, and handover, and you will be responsible for clear communication with stakeholders throughout, especially in high-pressure and time-sensitive situations.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Developing AI agents and experiences that take real actions for real organisations
  • Designing agent intelligence: prompts, reasoning, tool calls, and integration with customer systems
  • Owning technical components end-to-end: from architecture choice to deployed, validated, and observable in production
  • Building and integrating data pipelines on Salesforce Data 360, Snowflake, Databricks, and customer data platforms
  • Building and maintaining agent performance dashboards and customer KPI reporting
  • Contributing to proofs-of-concept and MVPs that move from sketch to deployable in days, not months
  • Co-building alongside customers and partners, sharing best practices and enablement as you go
  • Surfacing platform gaps, edge cases, and field insights to senior Engineers and the product team
  • Partnering with the Deployment Strategist in your pod to translate customer business challenges into agentic solutions

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of software engineering or technical delivery experience
  • At least one production system you'd be proud to walk us through
  • Degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • Prior customer-facing technical delivery experience
  • Fluent in at least one of Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Apex
  • Hands-on with LLMs and prompt engineering
  • Understanding of data modelling, APIs, and integration patterns
  • Ability to hold your own in a room with sales teams and customer architects
  • Willingness to travel ~25% of the time and work directly alongside customers

Nice to have:

  • Salesforce platform experience or certifications
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks and orchestration patterns
  • Hands-on with cloud data platforms
  • Experience across specialist AI delivery areas

Benefits:

  • AI-Powered Development
  • Collaborative Delivery
  • Frontier Access
  • Continuous Innovation
