Forward Deployed Engineer - Senior Manager

PwC is looking for talented Forward Deployed Engineers to join a growing engineering community that works at the intersection of business needs, emerging technology and disciplined software engineering.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work close to real business problems, partnering with teams across PwC to turn early-stage ideas into working proof-of-concept software at pace. This is a hands-on engineering role with strong business exposure. It is not a non-technical translator role or a prompt-only analyst role and you will be expected to have and demonstrate development experience and familiarity working with code, repos and SDLC models.

You will work with a specific business team while also contributing to a wider engineering community. You will help build rapid prototypes, reusable technical patterns and AI-enabled solutions that can be validated quickly and, where appropriate, developed further for live use by PwC’s technology and innovation teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with business stakeholders to understand challenges, validate assumptions and identify opportunities for innovative technical proof-of-concepts.
• Design and build rapid prototypes using approved tools, secure engineering practices and AI-enabled development technologies.
• Integrate APIs, data sources, AI models and workflows to create functional proof-of-concept solutions that deliver business value.

The skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Hands-on software engineering experience.
• Experience building prototypes, integrations, digital products or automation solutions.
• Practical experience with Git-based development workflows.
• Experience using AI-enabled development tools or coding assistants.
• Understanding of secure development practices and data governance.
• Ability to work at pace in ambiguous environments.
• Strong communication skills and confidence working directly

What you’ll receive from us: 

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions. 

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
