Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer (Contract or Permanent)

• Full Remote
• Up to £90,000 p/a for permanent
• Contract day rate is negotiable (Outside IR35)

We're working with a fully remote, boutique AI consultancy and Palantir services partner. They help organisations in energy, healthcare, financial services, media, and recruitment use modern data and AI platforms to solve complex business challenges.

They are building a Palantir Foundry practice led by ex-Palantir leadership. Thanks to these relationships, they're trusted with high-impact, mid-market projects with real business needs and quick delivery cycles.

This is a client-facing, hands-on engineering role where you'll design and deliver solutions directly with clients. It's a mix of consulting and coding, ideal for engineers who want to see their work make an immediate impact.

What You'll Do

• Work closely with clients to solve their toughest challenges using Palantir Foundry and modern AI/data tools.

• Design and deploy scalable data pipelines, workflows, and applications.

• Model complex datasets and create APIs that deliver real business value.

• Collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders, shaping strategy as well as delivery.

• Own projects end-to-end in a small, high-performing team.

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on Palantir Foundry expertise or transferable, client facing data engineering experience with large-scale data platforms such as:

  • Snowflake, Databricks, AWS Glue / Redshift, Google BigQuery

• Software engineering skills in Python, Java, or TypeScript/React.

• Strong data modelling, pipeline development, and API design experience.

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Impactful work at the intersection of AI, data, and business transformation.

• Autonomy and visibility in a growing consultancy trusted by Palantir.

• Flexible engagement: contract or permanent.

• Small, pragmatic team with minimal bureaucracy.

Worth considering

• For a contract position, you must have hands on commercial experience with Palantir Foundry
• We're open to the other mentioned platforms for permanent
• We are prioritising those with shorter notice periods / availability to start due to projects kicking off
