Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

Covecta's ambition is to help financial institutions navigate and capitalise on the next industrial revolution, to establish itself as both the trusted partner of choice and the builder of category-defining Agentic OS that banks depend on, extend and trust.

Our agents only create value when they can reach the data and systems the work depends on: core banking platforms, CRMs, document stores and credit systems, each with its own constraints. We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who is equally at home writing production code and sitting in a room with a bank's architects. You take a solution sketched during the sale, ratify it against reality, and build the integrations that get Covecta live inside the customer's estate.

You will work as a two-person pod with an Applied AI Lead on each account. They own the

workflows, the people and the value; you own the technical stack the design depends on. The

customer sees one team. You work closely with Covecta's core engineering team, feeding what you learn in the field back into the platform.

Who we are looking for:

• You are a builder first
• You write clean, production-grade code and you ship. You are comfortable across APIs, data
• pipelines, authentication and cloud infrastructure, and you would rather prototype an answer than debate one.

You run delivery like a product engineer

You have managed projects as well as built them. You turn what the customer asks for into

requirements and milestones, decide what ships first, and keep a plan both teams can trust. When the customer owes you an API or a decision, you chase it.

You are calm in front of customers

• You can explain a technical design to a bank's head of architecture, work through an information
• security questionnaire, and stay pragmatic when the customer's environment is not what the
• documentation said.

You are relentlessly inquisitive and excited by agentic AI

You are genuinely excited by what AI and agentic AI can do. You already use a range of AI tools well, keep up with the constant stream of new developments, and can point to real examples of deploying AI effectively at work. Financial services experience is a plus, not a requirement.

You want to, and can, move fast

We are moving fast, but we need to move faster. Changing an industry does not happen overnight, and the hard work starts now. Expect longer hours; the trade-offs are worth it because we enjoy it and we can see the impact we are having.

What you will do

• Solution architecture: ratify the solution architecture agreed during the sale with the customer’s technical teams, and own the technical design as scope grows
• Delivery: turn the agreed scope into requirements and milestones, run the joint plan with the customer’s technical team, and keep the dates on both sides honest.
• Integrations: build and maintain integrations between Covecta’s agents and customer systems: core banking, CRM, document management, credit and risk, and external data providers
• Deployment and security: get Covecta running safely inside regulated environments, including security and architecture reviews, access and authentication
• Production support: diagnose and fix production issues across the stack with Applied AI
• Learning and iteration: turn recurring field problems into evidence for Product and Engineering, so every deployment makes the next one faster.
