Leadership: This role reports to Ali Sadreddini who is based in Sydney and is one of our AI Apps & Data Practice Leads.
He champions a culture of ownership, innovation, and client-first delivery, empowering engineers to drive real business outcomes while maintaining the highest standards of technical excellence and commercial discipline.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer Principal, you will embed with client teams to deliver high-impact AI and data solutions end-to-end—from discovery and design through build, deployment, enablement and handover.

AI & Modern Development Fluency: Proficient with AI coding agents as a core part of your build workflow; hands-on with LLM/agent patterns (prompting, RAG, tool use, evaluation,



guardrails); and familiar with Azure AI services and AI-driven development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code)
Commercial & Leadership Acumen: You understand fixed-price unit economics, read the room, communicate clearly with CTOs and frontline users alike, and resolve issues at engagement level.
