Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer | AI Business Engineer Start with the business. Engineer the change. At Propelling Tech we do not start with technology. We start with how our clients' businesses really work, then design and build the AI, data and agentic solutions that change it. As an AI Business Engineer you will be the bridge between a global enterprise's executives and its engineers, and you will see your work reach production and measurable results. About Propelling Tech Propelling Tech is an AI, data and consulting firm serving enterprise clients across the US, Europe and the Middle East. We combine deep business understanding with hands-on engineering, using our own accelerators, frameworks and AI-powered tools to deliver value faster than traditional consulting. We work on high-impact problems for some of the world's leading companies, and we measure success by the outcomes our clients see, not by the slides we deliver. Our teams are based in hybrid offices in L'Illa (Barcelona) and Madrid. The role You will work side by side with client stakeholders to understand their processes, data and pain points. Then you will redesign those processes with AI and build the end-to-end solution yourself: from data models and pipelines to GenAI applications and agentic workflows. You will not hand requirements over a wall. You own the problem from the first conversation through to adoption and measured business impact. Key Responsibilities Business engineering Work directly with client stakeholders to understand their business problems, goals and day-to-day operations. Map and analyze business processes end to end, find where they break down, and identify where AI can create measurable impact. Translate business needs into clear solution designs, and communicate them to both executives and technical teams. Measure outcomes and drive adoption so solutions deliver real business value, not just working code. AI solutions and agentic workflows Design and build AI solutions such as GenAI applications, intelligent document processing, classification, matching and decision support. Build and deploy AI agents and automated workflows that combine reasoning, tool use and human-in-the-loop controls. Use Propelling Tech accelerators and reusable components to speed up delivery across engagements. Data foundations Write complex, optimized SQL and work hands-on with relational and cloud databases. Design and implement data models (e.g., Medallion architecture) and the pipelines that feed AI and analytics solutions. Ensure data quality and structure are ready to support reliable AI outcomes. Build reporting and dashboards that keep business stakeholders engaged. What You Bring Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems or a related field. 2+ years of hands-on experience delivering data and/or AI projects, ideally in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure or GCP). Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with databases. This is a must. Proficiency in Python. Solid understanding of business processes, with the ability to break down how a business operates and where technology fits. Practical experience building with LLMs and generative AI, and using AI tools to boost your own productivity. Fast learner who thrives on change. You pick up new tools, domains and client contexts quickly, and you adapt when priorities shift. Strong communication skills, comfortable leading conversations with business and technical stakeholders. Structured problem solver with an ownership mindset. Fluency in English and Spanish. Preferred Qualifications Master's degree in a related field. Experience building AI agents and agentic architectures, plus automation tools such as n8n. Consulting or client-facing experience. Domain exposure to insurance, pharma, life sciences or healthcare supply chain. Familiarity with data governance, MDM or data catalog platforms. Cloud or data engineering certifications. Why Propelling Tech, and why now The AI landscape changes every month, and so do we. Curiosity and adaptability matter as much as technical skill here. You will work on high-impact problems for top global companies, build alongside a team that moves fast, and grow into a true business-and-technology leader. Autonomy: you own your engagements and decide how to solve the problem, with the support of accelerators and a team behind you. Growth: a clear path from delivery to leadership, with reporting lines that grow with the organization. Impact: every project is measured by the business outcome it creates. Culture: a team that learns in public, shares what works and moves fast. What Success Looks Like Within your first months you will have led a discovery with a client stakeholder, shipped a solution that is in daily use, and can show the business metric it moved.
