The opportunity
We are seeking a high-performing Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Rapid Innovation Lab and rapidly prototype, validate, and deploy AI-powered solutions that transform how tax and business teams operate. This role sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, AI-native development, and business transformation, turning practice pain points into working solutions in days rather than months. You will build with AI coding tools as your default way of working and help Tax professionals learn to build for themselves.
You will embed with tax professionals, business stakeholders, architects and technology teams to identify opportunities for automation, develop intelligent agent-based solutions, and integrate AI capabilities into business processes. The ideal candidate combines strong technical capabilities with a consultative mindset and a bias for speed and is passionate about deploying practical AI solutions that drive measurable business value. They care as much about whether a tool should exist as about how to build it.
If you don’t meet every requirement below but have a track record of building useful things quickly with AI, we encourage you to apply.
