Forward Deployed Engineer Manager

SiaAmsterdamHybridFull-time1 week ago

Sia is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer Manager in Amsterdam to build and deploy GenAI applications such as agents, RAG pipelines, and copilots, ensuring adoption and measurable client value. The role blends data science, ML/platform engineering, and client delivery, requiring 5+ years of professional experience, strong Python skills, and fluency in English and Dutch.

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
