Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

• Drive Internal Platform Automation: Identify performance bottlenecks and manual workflows within LDM Global's eDiscovery and digital forensics platforms. Architect, develop, and deploy core engineering solutions to increase automation, performance, and security.

• Lead Client-Facing Technical Engagements: Own technical discovery, solution design, architecture, and delivery for key client projects. This includes running pre-sales scoping sessions to understand client workflows, data sources, and success metrics.

• Translate Business Needs into Technical Solutions: Translate ambiguous legal and business problems into clear technical plans, prototypes, and implementation roadmaps, ensuring alignment with LDM Global's security and operational standards.

• Architect and Build AI-Enabled Workflows: Design system architectures, data flows, integration layers, and application functionality across cloud, LLM, and analytics stacks to support automation and client solutions.

• Technical Implementation and Guidance: Guide the implementation of solutions by engineering teams and contribute code when needed to unblock or accelerate development. Conduct technical workshops with client and internal teams to align on design, data availability, and deployment requirements.

• Data Analysis & Prototyping: Analyze diverse data sources (APIs, SQL, CSV, logs, financial data, etc.) to uncover opportunities for automation and optimization. Build rapid prototypes and proofs-of-concept to illustrate solution value and accelerate adoption.

• Communicate Technical Strategy: Communicate the technical solution in business terms—focusing on ROI, operational impact, and future scaling opportunities—to both technical and non-technical internal and client stakeholders.

• Growth mindset and a passion for continuous learning.

• First-principles thinking and comfort navigating ambiguity.

• Fast clock speed. You can reason through problems, make decisions and execute quickly.

• Ability to simplify complex systems into clean, explainable frameworks and communicate them clearly to clients and internal stakeholders, some of whom will not have high technical proficiency.

• Strong proficiency in Python and common data science/engineering packages (Pandas, NumPy, SQLAlchemy, FastAPI/Flask, etc.).

• Experience with cloud platforms (Microsoft Azure preferred; AWS/Google Cloud also relevant).

• Familiarity with modern AI tooling (LLM APIs, vector stores, RAG, embeddings, prompt engineering).

• Experience integrating disparate data sources via SQL, APIs, CSV ingestion pipelines, or third-party integrations.

• 1–5 years in a technical role such as Solutions Architect, Forward-Deployed Engineer, Data/AI Consultant, Full-Stack Engineer, Product Manager, or similar.

• Proven track record of leading technical projects and working directly with customers or internal stakeholders.

• Experience mentoring junior developers or leading small project teams.

• Opportunity to be a founding member of a new engineering capability and influence architectural decisions from day one.

• Competitive compensation aligned with the local market and experience.

• Work with global teams across the US, UK, and India.

• Professional development opportunities as LDM expands its automation and cloud platform strategy.

• A mission-driven culture that values innovation, security, and operational excellence.
