At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for an Forward Deployed Engineer to play a key role in our Solutions Consultants Team in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔

As our Lead / Principal Forward Deployed Engineer you'll be embedded directly with our most strategic accounts, owning the end-to-end technical deployment of our agentic AI platform. This isn't a support role, and it isn't a solutions consultant with a fancy title — you'll write production code, own technical outcomes, and be the reason our biggest customers succeed and expand. You'll operate with the autonomy of a founding engineer and the commercial instinct of a GTM leader.

What do I need to bring with me? 🧳

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn.
Here’s what the team will be looking for in you:

👉 Significant experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a customer-facing technical role — with meaningful time spent shipping production code in complex enterprise environments.

👉 Demonstrable experience deploying AI or data-heavy products into large organisations — real production deployments, not just POCs.

👉 Strong full-stack or backend engineering fundamentals: Python essential, plus comfort across APIs, SQL, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), and data pipelines.

👉 The ability to work through ambiguity and turn it into a concrete technical plan.

👉 Clear communication across technical and business audiences — you can tailor the same idea for an engineering lead and a commercial stakeholder.

👉 Willingness to travel to client sites across the UK and Europe (approximately 30–50% of the time).

Nice to have:

👉 Hands-on experience with LLM deployment, AI agents, or agentic workflow automation.

👉 A background in a high-growth B2B SaaS or AI-native company.

👉 Experience in one or more of GWI's core verticals: financial services, media & agencies, consumer goods, or technology.

👉 Prior experience in an FDE, solutions architect, or technical account management function at a company with a named-account enterprise motion.

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

What’s in it for me? 🎁

At GWI, you’ll find meaningful work, visible impact, and a culture that empowers you to do your best. Our package includes:

🌴 Time to recharge – 25 days’ annual leave, plus office closures over the holidays.

🧘 Health & wellbeing – Health cash plan, enhanced family benefits, carer days, and mental health support.

💸 Financial benefits – Competitive salary, 4% pension matching, and recognition programs that celebrate success.

🏡 Flexibility & balance – Flexitime, early Friday finishes, hybrid and remote options, plus a “work from home” budget.

💪 Career growth – Accredited learning, leadership development, and global career mobility.

🌎 Community & impact – DE&I initiatives, volunteering opportunities, donation matching, and payroll giving.

Put all that together and GWI is the friendliest, most fulfilling place any of us has ever worked.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity is fundamental to who we are—both as a data company and as a workplace. Our data reflects global realities, and so must our teams. We strive to ensure our workforce is as diverse and inclusive as the insights we provide to our clients.
