Full job description
Senior AI Engineer / Forward Deployed Engineer
Cevo is looking for an AI Engineer/ Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) who sits at the intersection of consulting, cloud architecture, software engineering and AI delivery. This is not a traditional project role. You will embed directly with enterprise clients across financial services, energy and government to understand their business outcomes, build production-grade AI solutions and iterate rapidly until real value is delivered.
What You'll Do
Embed with enterprise clients to define business outcomes, success metrics and deliver rapid prototypes, compressing discovery-to-build cycles into weeks
Design and build agentic AI systems using Anthropic and AWS: RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, LLM-powered assistants, prompt frameworks and evaluation pipelines for hallucination and reasoning quality
Work hands-on with Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker for model development, fine-tuning, vector retrieval and lifecycle management
Deploy production AI solutions end-to-end, integrating into enterprise platforms (CRMs, ERPs, data lakes) without handing off to another team
Build responsible AI by design: explainability, bias testing, human-in-the-loop controls and compliance with APRA, ASIC and CPS 230/234
Required Experience
5–8+ years in software engineering, data science and ML
2+ years hands-on GenAI development: LLMs, RAG, agents, evaluation
Demonstrated ability to deliver production-grade AI systems, end to end
Strong Python and SQL
Strong experience with Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Agents
Experience deploying ML models into production
Understanding of APIs and AI services across the AWS ecosystem
Strong communication and client-facing skills
Highly Desirable
Experience in a Forward Deployed, embedded consulting or solutions engineering capacity
SageMaker Pipelines
Vector databases and Graph RAG
Agent orchestration frameworks
Regulated industry experience (financial services, energy, government)
Model risk management experience
Experience building AI platforms, assistants or internal tooling
