London · RemoteFull-time

About Deliverance AI

Deliverance AI is the Enterprise Agentic Operating System, the agentic control plane that sits above an enterprise's data and model planes, where agents are orchestrated, governed, and made accountable to the board. The platform ships with 100+ pre-built agents and 150+ skills, deploys across five modes (hyperscale, neocloud, sovereign, on-premise, and air-gapped), and bundles a forward-deployed engineering team into every subscription. We are UK-founded and built for the regulated enterprise: trust enforced at runtime, ROI measured per workflow, and value delivered in weeks, not years.

About the role

As a Forward-Deployed Applied AI Engineer, you build the workflows customers actually run. You compose agents and skills, ground them in customer context, wire in governance, and ship them to production alongside the customer.

This is a Staff role on our Forward-Deployed Engineering team, London · Remote.

What you'll do

  • Design and build customer-specific agents, skills and multi-agent orchestration on the platform.
  • Ground agents in customer knowledge with RAG and the three-tier knowledge architecture.
  • Tune routing and cost with SmartRouter; instrument every workflow for telemetry and audit.
  • Iterate live with the customer until the workflow meets its quality and governance bar.

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on experience building LLM/agentic applications that reached production.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and prompt/eval discipline.
  • Comfort working directly with customers under real constraints.
  • A finisher who cares about outcomes, not demos.

How we work

We run on five operating values: trusted at runtime, proof over pitch, speed with control, customer-embedded, and earned reliability. We are not a research lab or a slide deck, we ship software that the board, the CISO, and the auditor all sign off on, and we are measured on whether they did.

What we offer

  • Seed-stage equity, a material allocation for every hire, with a Series A decision targeted for late 2026.
  • Market-leading cash compensation, benchmarked to top-tier London and remote markets.
  • Remote-friendly across the UK, EU and select global timezones (FDE and revenue roles are location-anchored).
