Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to be the technical counterpart for our customers and ensure every implementation succeeds. This role involves working closely with clients to understand their workflows, translating those into Nevis' platform, and being the primary technical point of contact throughout the deployment process.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical side of enterprise deployments end to end, from initial scoping through go-live and expansion
• Work with the customer's engineers, operations teams, and leadership to be their main technical point of contact
• Understand how each firm operates deeply enough to translate their workflows into what Nevis builds, configures, and automates for them
• Design and deliver the integrations and data flows a deployment depends on, working with our engineering teams to make the pipes right
• Configure and deploy AI agents and automated workflows against real customer processes, and tune them until they hold up in production
• Build prototypes and demos fast, so customers can see what is possible before committing to building it
• Diagnose and resolve technical issues in live deployments, and be honest with customers about what the platform can and cannot do
• Partner with Deployment Strategists on the commercial relationship, giving them the technical grounding that wins and grows accounts
• Feed what you learn in the field back into the product, shaping the roadmap so every future customer inherits it

Requirements

You have 3+ years in a forward deployed, solutions engineering, technical implementation or similar customer-facing engineering role at a high-growth technology company. You are a strong engineer with proficiency in Python and SQL, comfortable working across systems, APIs, and messy real-world data. You have experience putting Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic tooling into production and have judgment about their reliability. You build fast, are precise about numbers, communicate exceptionally well with non-engineers, have low ego and high ownership, and are comfortable with ambiguity.

Nice to have: prior experience in wealth management, financial services, or fintec; familiarity with the US RIA landscape, including how large advisory firms are structured, regulated, and operated; experience with data integration, pipelines, or systems migration at enterprise scale; hands-on fluency with LLM-powered workflows like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar.

Benefits

Join Nevis and work alongside a high-calibre founding team backed by some of the best investors in the world. Be part of a fast-paced, high-growth environment with the opportunity to shape how the business operates. Enjoy 15 days’ annual leave & Bank Holidays, private medical insurance, and a competitive salary and benefits package, including company equity.
