Description:
Who we are
At Oliver Wyman, a Marsh (NYSE: MRSH) business, we bring deep industry insight, bold innovation, and a collaborative approach that cuts through complexity to help organizations navigate their most defining transformative moments.
DNA is Oliver Wyman's home for data, analytics, AI and engineering practitioners. We sit alongside our consulting colleagues and inside our clients' teams, turning real business problems into working technology.
This is a hybrid role, with at least three days per week spent in the office or onsite with clients.
The opportunity
Forward Deployed Engineers take AI solutions from idea to secure production inside live client environments. You will embed with a client team and work like a member of their staff: understanding how the work actually gets done, translating messy real-world workflows into something an AI system can support, then building, testing and iterating alongside the people who will use it.
As a senior member of the team you will do this without a defined brief. You will decide what is worth building, set the technical direction, and stand up the foundations the solution needs — integrations, permissions, hosting, data access — in a way that holds up in an architecture review and a security assessment. You will prove value in production at small scale rather than in a polished demo, and build the pipeline of the next use cases from what you learn on the ground.
You will also be one of the people others learn from: shaping how we deliver, raising the technical bar, and giving less experienced engineers the context and confidence to own their own work.
The role rewards range. We look for people who are genuinely deep in one discipline and credible across the others: client delivery, AI and agentic systems, engineering and infrastructure, and the subject matter of the business they are working in.
Our culture
We are looking for exceptional talent with excellent communication skills
Collaboration is key, both internally and with our clients. We believe we do our best work when we are together and working hand in hand with business users
Curiosity is something we embrace and value highly
We want people who are positive and passionate, have proven problem solving capabilities, can work quickly to find solutions to complex challenges and unlock big opportunities
People need to be able to take ownership and be trusted to deliver, going the extra mile
We want people who are highly motivated and have a high desire to learn
Responsibilities
Embed within client teams to understand how work is really done, and frame business problems and commercial opportunities as AI problems — applying judgement to identify the true need beyond the stated requirement
Lead delivery end to end: design, build, test, deploy and iterate AI solutions in live production environments
Set the technical direction on your engagements, making the architectural calls and defending them to client engineering and security teams
Stand up the technical foundations that solutions depend on, working with client IT to secure the right integrations, access and hosting
Prove value in production at small scale, then work with colleagues to productise and scale what works
Build a pipeline of new use cases from what you observe on the ground, and help clients build their own capability rather than a dependency on us
Bring on other engineers as the work grows, and raise the standard of delivery around you through review, pairing and mentoring
Challenge current systems and processes to achieve common goals through technical excellence and innovation
Keep abreast of progress in AI and technology trends that keep us at the forefront of what is possible
What makes a great candidate
Excellent programming and system design skills, with recent hands-on experience in Python and ideally one of C#/.NET, Java, Rust or C++
A track record of taking AI or machine learning systems into production — not just…
