Magentic

1-10

United Kingdom

Backed by global technology visionaries like Sequoia Capital, Magentic brings together world-class AI engineering (formers from OpenAI, Meta, and AWS) with procurement expertise (formers from McKinsey & Company and ABInBev).

We are looking for brilliant Forward Deployed Engineers to join our team at Magentic. We’re pushing the boundaries of AI with next-generation agentic systems that can manage entire workflows. We’re focusing on a **three trillion dollar** market of supply chains and procurement.

Our mission is to make global manufacturing supply chains robust to an ever-changing world, and to harness the potential of generative AI through thoughtful deployment, maximising benefits while prioritising ethical use and safety.

Forward-Deployed Engineers sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success. You will collaborate closely with customer teams to architect and implement sophisticated data pipelines and APIs, directly fuelling our cutting-edge agentic AI with terabytes of real-world supply chain data. You will be instrumental in shaping solutions and recommending new features for enterprise clients, all while learning and growing your AI skills in a truly AI-first company at the forefront of agentic systems.

## Tasks

**What You’ll Do**

You’ll have a huge impact on both Magentic’s commercial success and our product direction. This is a rare opportunity to help build a rocket ship. As we grow, you could develop into product management or engineering, into a leader in our customer engineering space, even into sales, as you discover your strengths and interests.

*   **Build strong relationships with our flagship clients**—household names in the enterprise manufacturing space.
*   **Analyse large, unstructured data sets**—dig around to discover value that our customers are missing and help configure our product to surface that value.
*   **Collaborate directly with executives & operators**—run white-boarding sessions, turn ambiguous requirements into concrete specs, demo weekly, and train users.
*   **Shape our roadmap**—gather insights from customers to determine the highest-priority new features and products.
*   **Contribute across the stack**—add extra value where you have the skills: build lightweight front-ends when needed; pair with ML engineers on inference and evaluation pipelines; build data tooling with our data engineers to accelerate customer progress.

## Requirements

**You Might Be a Great Fit if You**

*   Are fluent in **Python** and comfortable in TypeScript/JavaScript.
*   Have **2+ years** of professional data- or software-engineering experience.
*   Have **5+ years** of professional experience
*   Are a data whizz
*   Can take a loosely defined problem, sketch an architecture, and deliver a production-ready solution in weeks, not months.
*   Can communicate clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders.
*   Are keen to travel to spend time with customers on a regular basis.
*   Are an enthusiastic student of AI.
*   Thrive in an early-stage, high-ownership environment—prototype today, deploy tomorrow, iterate next week.

**Bonus Points**

*   Familiarity with supply-chain, procurement, or manufacturing domains.

## Benefits

**Compensation and Benefits**

At Magentic, we recognise and reward the talent that drives our success. We offer:

*   **Competitive Equity**: play a real part in Magentic’s upside.
*   **A salary of £120,000-£130,000**
*   **Visa sponsorship** (**Note we are only accepting candidates who are currently based in the UK.**)
*   **Hybrid London HQ** (3-4 days in the office/customer site)
*   **Annual team retreat**—a fully-funded off-site to recharge, bond, and build.

**Our interview Process**

There are a quite a few components because it's really important that both we and you have all the information to make a great decision at this stage of our journey. We can move quickly through these stages, so let us know if you have any timelines we need to meet.

1.  **Initial screening** **call** **(15-30 mins)**: this first step is an opportunity for you to hear more about Magentic and the role, and for us to learn more about your how your experience aligns with the role.
2.  **Design interview with the CTO or Founding Engineer (45 mins):** in this step, we present you with real problems Magentic encounters, and we ask you to design a solution in a whiteboarding exercise.
3.  **In-person interview (half-day, paid):** for the final step, we invite you to come meet the team in-person and work alongside us! We find this is the best way for candidates to get a sense of what working at Magentic is like. This day will also include a culture interview with the Chief of Staff and an interview with the CEO.
