Forward-Deployed AI Engineer is a remote, evaluated AI work role in ai engineering & deployment on the GoMeasure AI talent network. Build and ship AI systems inside the client's environment — their infrastructure, their data, their constraints. You apply once, complete a skills evaluation, and get matched to paid contract work — no repeated interviews.
About the Role
GoMeasure Platform runs goTalentOS — a specialised marketplace for AI workers, where engineers and domain experts don't only review and improve AI systems but also build and deploy them. We're looking for a Forward-Deployed AI Engineer to join this network on a flexible, contract basis. Build and ship AI systems inside the client's environment — their infrastructure, their data, their constraints. You'll work remotely, pick up engagements matched to your expertise, and be paid hourly for work that ships.
Key Responsibilities
- Embed with a client team and take an AI use case from scoping to production.
- Integrate models into existing systems, data stores and security boundaries.
- Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete, measurable AI workflows.
- Harden prototypes into supportable production services, with handover docs.
- Feed real deployment friction back into product and platform decisions.
Required Qualifications
Domain Expertise
- Shipped AI or data systems into a production environment you did not control.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals plus applied LLM experience.
- Comfortable client-facing: you can run a scoping session and say no to scope creep.
Ways of Working
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously in a remote, engagement-based setup.
- Strong written communication — decisions and trade-offs are recorded, not just made.
- Able to hand work over cleanly: another engineer can pick it up from your documentation.
How It Works
- Fully remote, contract engagements sized to your availability.
- Paid hourly at a rate set by role, seniority and verified skill level.
- Your skills are verified once through GoMeasure and reused across engagements.
