Job Description & Summary

About the role: 

The Deals AI Forward Deployed Engineer is a hands-on technologist positioned at the heart of PwC's market-leading Deals practice, a business that is fundamentally transforming how the firm and our clients navigate their most complex challenges. Embedded directly within Deal teams, this role is instrumental in rapidly designing, building, and deploying cutting-edge AI-driven solutions that are reshaping the transaction lifecycle, from due diligence and valuation through to integration, separation, and working directly with clients on agentic solutions throughout post-deal value creation.

What your days will look like:

• You will partner closely with deal professionals and sprint teams to identify opportunities where AI can unlock meaningful value for our clients.

• You will architect and deliver bespoke solutions, leveraging large language models, agentic AI frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation, and a broad suite of modern AI tooling, tailored to the specific demands of each transaction.

• You will be expected to work efficiently, iterating on prototypes and shipping working solutions within tight deal timescales, maintaining a strong drive to deliver results, where progress is measured by what you build and learn rather than what is discussed in meetings.

• You will also play a critical role in surfacing recurring patterns, workflows, and failure modes from the field, feeding those insights back into our broader Deals AI product roadmap and platform capabilities so that wins on one engagement scale across the practice.

The role is for you if:

• You bring technical curiosity and a genuine passion for understanding how things work - from the fundamentals of software engineering to the latest developments in agentic AI architectures and autonomous systems - with a natural inclination to explore, experiment, and stay at the forefront of emerging trends.

• You have worked across a variety of AI solutions, tools, and platforms - including agentic AI technologies, large language models, and modern orchestration patterns - and you are comfortable picking up new technologies and frameworks at speed.

• You have a solid foundation in software development, including proficiency in languages such as Python, API design, modern deployment practices, version control, and testing best practices.

• You embrace ambiguity, pivot quickly when the problem demands it, and are energised by tackling complex challenges as part of a team, with the agility to learn quickly and thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.

• You are building meaningful client connections and deepening your technical expertise, with a pragmatic focus on proving value early and ensuring solutions address meaningful, real-world challenges.

What you’ll receive from us:

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions. 

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
