Forward Deployed AI Engineer

Role Overview

• Design, build, and ship AI-powered features that improve clinical decision-making, patient outcomes, and operational efficiency.
• Own the end-to-end feature lifecycle: prototype, production code, deployment, and post-launch optimisation, ensuring quality, performance, and measurable impact.
• Work directly with clinicians and customers to turn real-world problems into working software, iterating quickly on live feedback.
• Collaborate with other engineers to keep solutions technically sound, scalable, and maintainable.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies, prototype rapidly, and define implementation approaches with a bias toward shipping.
• Translate ambiguous opportunities into concrete technical requirements and working systems.
• Creating and maintaining key feature evals to monitor and improve products you have built.
• Use quantitative and qualitative insights, including product analytics, user feedback, and clinical research, to prioritise what to build and validate hypotheses.
• Define and instrument key metrics for feature adoption, effectiveness, and business impact, continuously iterating for optimal outcomes.
• Conduct hands-on user research to identify unmet needs where engineering can deliver significant value.
• Benchmark against competitors and emerging AI trends to keep the product innovative.
• Connect what you build to strategic outcomes such as user retention, operational efficiency, and revenue growth.
• Serve as the technical owner for your verticals, communicating progress and impact to stakeholders across the business.

Requirements

• Strong engineering ability and a drive to build; you'd rather ship a working prototype than write a spec about one.
• Naturally curious about AI, actively seeking opportunities to enhance products and internal workflows through emerging technologies.
• Comfortable owning features end-to-end, from writing production code to deploying and iterating in front of real users.
• Strong commercial awareness and an interest in connecting AI opportunities to measurable business outcomes.
• User-focused and insight-driven, leveraging qualitative and quantitative inputs to inform thoughtful technical decisions.
• Startup mindset: proactive, adaptable, and energized by working in fast-moving, evolving environments.
• Location: Able to commute to our London office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
