Solutions Architect

Client Partner at Propel - Building exceptional GTM teams globally

Forward Deployed Engineer ~ High-Growth AI SaaS ~ UK (Remote) but travel included

We’re working with a fast-scaling SaaS company on a mission to transform how complex, field-based industries operate - using cutting-edge AI, automation, and data-driven insights to make work safer, faster, and more efficient.

They’re now looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join the team and act as the technical bridge between product, engineering, and customers.

You’ll work directly with enterprise clients to design, prototype, and deliver real-world AI solutions that drive measurable impact.

The Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll be embedded with customers - getting under the skin of their operations, understanding their data and challenges, and turning that into live, working technology.

This isn’t a “behind the scenes” engineering role - it’s about being in the field, building fast, and proving value.

You’ll spend time on customer sites (UK-wide), developing integrations, AI workflows, and automations that combine your technical depth with a customer-first mindset.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner with enterprise customers to uncover operational pain points and design technical solutions that deliver ROI.
• Prototype and deploy new AI-driven workflows and intelligent automation tools.
• Build and configure integrations across React/React Native + Python/Django (with support from the wider engineering team).
• Work directly with stakeholders - from engineers in the field to C-suite to shape requirements and influence roadmap priorities.
• Act as a technical owner on customer deployments, driving adoption, delivery, and measurable results.
• Strong foundation as a software engineer (ideally full-stack: React/React Native + Python/Django, or similar).
• Now working in (or ready to step into) a customer-facing technical role - e.g. Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or Solution Architect.
• Comfortable building, deploying, and iterating at speed in ambiguous environments.
• Experience or curiosity in AI tools, LLMs, automation agents, or intelligent workflow systems.
• Excellent communicator - able to turn complex tech into tangible business value.
• Happy to travel - you’ll spend the first few weeks of each new deployment on-site with customers (UK-wide).
• You’ll join a high-growth scale-up backed by leading global investors, working on technology that genuinely changes how industries operate.
• Real autonomy - you’ll build, experiment, and deliver impact fast.
• A culture built on collaboration, curiosity, and delivery.
• UK-remote with regular in-person collaboration (London preferred).
