Forward Deployed Engineer - AI & Creative Transformation

We are looking for a highly specialized hybrid profile that combines creative/marketing workflow expertise, hands-on technical engineering skills, and strong client‑facing capabilities.

This person will enter enterprise client environments, map how content moves across the full lifecycle (briefing → production → review → approval → localization → publishing), identify bottlenecks, and personally build end‑to‑end AI and automation solutions that improve speed, quality, and operational efficiency.

This is not a generic engineering role, nor a creative role using AI tools. We need someone who can design, build, debug, deploy, and maintain technical systems inside complex creative and marketing workflows.

🎨 1. Creative / Marketing Workflow Expertise (Required)

Candidates must have hands-on experience inside one or more of the following environments:

• Creative production
• Content operations
• Marketing or media workflows
• Agencies (creative, digital, production)
• Enterprise content systems (DAM, CMS, MarTech platforms)
• Creative automation or large-scale content pipelines

They must understand how content flows through enterprise organizations, including:

• Briefing
• Production
• Review & approval
• Localization
• Publishing
• Asset management

🛠️ 2. Technical Engineering Skills (Required)

This role requires real engineering ability, not “vibe coding.” Candidates must be able to independently build and maintain:

• AI-powered workflows
• Automation systems
• Integrations
• Agents
• APIs
• Production pipelines
• Custom tooling
• Workflow orchestration

They must be comfortable debugging, deploying, and maintaining systems without relying on a separate engineering team.

Not a fit

• Pure software engineers with no creative/marketing domain experience
• Consultants who hand off implementation
• Creative professionals who only use generative AI tools
• People who cannot build technical systems end‑to‑end

🤝 3. Client-Facing Consulting Skills (Required)

The role is highly consultative.

Candidates must be able to

• Conduct discovery sessions
• Diagnose workflows and identify bottlenecks
• Manage stakeholders across creative, marketing, and technical teams
• Drive adoption and change management
• Build solutions directly inside client environments

⭐ Nice-to-Have Experience

• Adobe ecosystem (AEM, Creative Cloud, Workfront)
• DAM/CMS platforms (Bynder, Aprimo, Contentful, Sitecore, etc.)
• MarTech platforms
• Creative automation systems
• Enterprise content operations
• Experience with global brands or regulated industries
