Forward Deployed Engineer — Platform (AI)

IFS builds AI-native enterprise software for asset, operations and service management. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, Platform, you embed directly with IFS product development teams and customer engineering organisations to understand real problems, design real solutions and own the outcome — a hands-on senior engineering role focused on developer velocity and adoption of the IFS Cloud platform (Kairos and Nexus).

What you'll do:

• Lead technical discovery and identify the actual bottleneck, not the presenting symptom.
• Design and build production-grade solutions on the IFS Cloud platform: workflows, integrations, event-driven patterns and data pipelines.
• Build tooling, patterns and reference implementations that accelerate adoption of Kairos and Nexus.
• Ship a working first version fast, then harden it with monitoring and production quality.
• Translate product-team pain points into platform feedback and roadmap input for the Internal Developer Platform.

5+ years of software development experience: Go backend, React/Next.js frontend, Kafka/RedPanda, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, GitOps and IaC.
