Forward Deployed Engineer Manager

SiaMaastrichtHybridFull-time1 week ago

Sia is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer Manager to build and deploy GenAI applications (agents, RAG pipelines, copilots) and drive adoption in client workflows. The role requires 5+ years of professional experience, hands-on LLM work, strong Python skills, and fluency in English and Dutch, based in Maastricht with hybrid working.

What you'll do

Sit with a client's team, work out where AI actually earns its keep (and where it doesn't), and turn that into something you can ship.
Design and implement LLM-based systems: autonomous agents, RAG pipelines, workflow automation, and conversational interfaces.
Integrate these solutions into clients' existing environments (APIs, databases, business tools), complying with applicable regulations (GDPR, EU AI Act, model licenses, etc.).
Get people to actually use what you built: training, winning sceptics over, and iterating until it sticks rather than sits.
Iterate quickly with stakeholders to refine solutions in production and maximize their impact.
Be the person in the room who can talk to the engineers and to the board, and be believed by both.
