Engineer II - Forward Deployed Engineer

Position Summary GSK's Enterprise AI team builds AI solutions that prove value fast and scale to production. The Engineer II is a senior individual contributor who takes full ownership of FDE engagements end-to-end — embedding inside business unit teams, prototyping AI ideas at a days-to-weeks cadence, leading G8 FDEs on multi-engineer engagements, and handing proven solutions off cleanly to the Solutions Engineer. This role operates at the intersection of technical depth and stakeholder influence. The role does not just execute engagements — they help qualify which BU problems are worth tackling, shape engagement standards, and actively mentor the G8 FDEs alongside them. Most prototyping is AI-augmented: AI coding assistants and multi-agent workflows handle the bulk of routine coding, freeing the Senior FDE to focus on framing, judgement, and validation. This role does not carry use cases through to long-term operations — clean handoff to the Solutions Engineer is part of how the function works. Why This Role Exists Enterprise AI needs engineers who can own substantive BU engagements independently, guide more junior colleagues through the FDE practice, and help shape how the function qualifies and runs its work. The role is the backbone of the FDE team's delivery capacity. Owns complex engagements end-to-end from problem framing through working prototype, at days-to-weeks cadence, with minimal supervision. Leads small multi-FDE engagements — directing and mentoring G8 FDEs during delivery while maintaining accountability for outcome quality.
