Job description

At Deloitte, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) don't just build AI solutions, they help clients turn AI ambition into enterprise-scale impact, pairing leading class engineering with pod-based delivery and vertical expertise. If you thrive at the intersection of product, engineering, problem-solving, and client impact, this role puts you at the forefront of AI transformations.

Recruiting for this role ends on 10/30/2026.

Work you'll do

As a Lead Palantir FDE, you will serve as the senior practitioner-leader embedded directly with our most strategic clients, leading forward-deployed engineering pods that develop and deploy GenAI solutions into production for Deloitte's most strategic clients. You'll set technical direction, remove delivery blockers, and stay hands-on; designing, reviewing, and debugging systems with the team. You'll translate engineering trade-offs into clear decisions for client leaders when needed. Your ability to influence decisions at the C-suite level, while maintaining hands-on technical credibility, is what sets you apart. Pods under your leadership may be deployed onshore with clients or in hybrid onshore/offshore configurations, leveraging Deloitte's global delivery capability to maximize speed and scale.

Client Engagement

  • Serve as the senior client-facing presence, building trusted advisor relationships as the senior engineering partner for client product, data, and platform leaders
  • Lead executive-level discovery, define success metrics (quality, latency, cost, adoption, risk) and a phased plan from prototype to production and scaling
  • Navigate organizational complexity and influence to align executive sponsors, IT leadership, and business owners around a shared vision
  • Represent Deloitte's FDE capability in client pursuits, executive briefings, and platform partner engagements-contributing to pipeline development and deal shaping.

Cross-Functional Pod Leadership & Program Governance

  • Lead FDE pods of 2-5 onshore anchored and offshore supported engineers, owning execution, resource management, escalations and overall delivery health
  • Enforce delivery standards across the pod: sprint cadences, stakeholder communication plans, risk management, and quality gates
  • Coordinate multi-pod or multi-workstream engagements, ensuring reliable architecture and consistent client experience.
  • Mentor and develop junior FDEs

GenAI Solution Development

  • Architect and oversee delivery of LLM-enabled applications including copilots, agentic workflows, assistants, and knowledge search experiences using one or more enterprise AI platforms (see Platform Requirements below)
  • Set direction for prompt engineering, tool-use patterns, and human-in-the-loop controls
  • Govern end-to-end RAG pipeline design-including ingestion, chunking, embedding, vector retrieval, and hybrid search-ensuring production-grade quality and scalability.
  • Define evaluation frameworks covering quality, hallucination risk, safety, latency, cost, and governance; ensure the pod meets agreed engineering quality bars to these standards.

Engineering & Data Foundations

  • Review and contribute to production-quality code
  • Guide architecture of data pipelines powering GenAI use cases
  • Enforce strong data management, testing, CI/CD, logging, versioning, and documentation practices
  • Deep familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud)


The team

AI & Engineering leverages cutting-edge engineering capabilities to build, deploy, and operate integrated/verticalized sector solutions in software, data, AI, network, and hybrid cloud infrastructure. These solutions are powered by engineering for business advantage, transforming mission-critical operations.

  • 1+ years of experience leading project workstreams/engagements and translating business problems into AI solutions
  • 1+ years of experience building reliable, maintainable, and well-documented code 
  • Ability to travel 50%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve
  • Limited immigration sponsorship may be available

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud) and common platform services (storage, compute, IAM, networking)
  • Demonstrated ability to work directly alongside client technical teams and program stakeholders in fast-paced, ambiguous delivery environments 
  • Data engineering experience with Spark, Airflow/dbt, streaming, data modeling or ML/data science background feature engineering, experimentation or model evaluation
  • Experience with MLOps/LLMOps practices: evaluation frameworks, model monitoring, and prompt management 
  • Experience integrating LLM solutions with enterprise systems via APIs, microservices, or event-driven architectures 
  • Experience operating within hybrid onshore/offshore teams 
  • Familiarity with security, privacy, and compliance considerations
