About this role

This one puts you in the room with them.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">We’re&nbsp;building AI agents for risk managers, internal auditors, and compliance professionals,&nbsp;not assistants that surface suggestions, but agents that own complex, multi-step workflows end to end. Agents that an audit team can hand a task to and trust it will come back done. Getting from a promising agent prototype to something a Chief Audit Officer depends on is a completely different discipline to building the prototype.&nbsp;That’s&nbsp;what this role is about.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">As a Forward Deployed Engineer,&nbsp;roughly 80%&nbsp;of your time is with our biggest enterprise customers across Europe and the US.&nbsp;You’re&nbsp;embedded in their environments,&nbsp;sitting with internal audit teams as they plan an audit programme, with risk functions assessing their control landscape, with compliance teams navigating regulatory obligations.&nbsp;You’re&nbsp;not there to show them what the agents already do.&nbsp;You’re&nbsp;there to understand their world well enough to discover what the agents need to do next.</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">You run discovery workshops,&nbsp;identify&nbsp;which workflows are genuinely ripe for agentic automation, prototype rapidly, test with real practitioners, and stay until the agent is reliable enough to be trusted.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">The other 20% is feeding everything&nbsp;you’ve&nbsp;learned back into the platform. The goal&nbsp;isn’t&nbsp;to accumulate bespoke agent builds,&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;the patterns across risk and audit functions that should be generalised, so every&nbsp;subsequent&nbsp;engagement is&nbsp;faster&nbsp;and the agents get better for everyone.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">You sit in Product with a matrix into&nbsp;Engineering&nbsp;,&nbsp;which means you shape both the agent roadmap and the technical decisions that make agents work in production.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none">This is not a sales role and&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;not consulting.</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">You write code. You build evaluation infrastructure. You design golden datasets grounded in real audit and risk workflows. You catch agent regressions before a customer’s compliance team does.&nbsp;You’re&nbsp;accountable for outcomes.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:80,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 1">The Hard Parts of Agentic AI Are Your Domain</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559738&quot;:400,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335572079&quot;:8,&quot;335572080&quot;:6,&quot;335572081&quot;:12086318,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;single&quot;}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">Silent regressions when a model updates. Context window degradation across long audit workflows. Prompt instability under varied user inputs. Non-deterministic outputs in environments where a compliance officer needs to explain every decision to a regulator.
