Overview

We are looking for brilliant Forward Deployed Engineers to join our team at Magentic. We’re pushing the boundaries of AI with next-generation agentic systems that can manage entire workflows. We’re focusing on a three trillion dollar market of supply chains and procurement.

Our mission is to make global manufacturing supply chains robust to an ever-changing world, and to harness the potential of generative AI through thoughtful deployment, maximising benefits while prioritising ethical use and safety.

Forward-Deployed Engineers sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success. You will collaborate closely with customer teams to architect and implement sophisticated data pipelines and APIs, directly fuelling our cutting-edge agentic AI with terabytes of real-world supply chain data. You will be instrumental in shaping solutions and recommending new features for enterprise clients, all while learning and growing your AI skills in a truly AI-first company at the forefront of agentic systems.

What You’ll Do

• Build strong relationships with our flagship clients—household names in the enterprise manufacturing space.
• Analyse large, unstructured data sets—dig around to discover value that our customers are missing and help configure our product to surface that value.
• Collaborate directly with executives & operators—run white-boarding sessions, turn ambiguous requirements into concrete specs, demo weekly, and train users.
• Shape our roadmap—gather insights from customers to determine the highest-priority new features and products.
• Contribute across the stack—add extra value where you have the skills: build lightweight front-ends when needed; pair with ML engineers on inference and evaluation pipelines; build data tooling with our data engineers to accelerate customer progress.

You Might Be a Great Fit if You

• 2+ years of professional data- or software-engineering experience.
• Are a data whizz
• Can take a loosely defined problem, sketch an architecture, and deliver a production-ready solution in weeks, not months.
• Can communicate clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders.
• Are keen to travel to spend time with customers on a regular basis.
• Are an enthusiastic student of AI.
• Thrive in an early-stage, high-ownership environment—prototype today, deploy tomorrow, iterate next week.

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with supply-chain, procurement, or manufacturing domains.
