Forward Deployed Engineer (AI and Knowledge Graphs)


London - UK Remote

The Company
They are a Series A funded AI startup building a platform that brings together vast, fragmented scientific data into an interactive knowledge graph. Their technology maps cause and effect relationships between diseases, proteins and drugs to accelerate drug discovery and research. With strong commercial traction and a growing client base across pharma, biotech and research organisations, they are scaling a small, highly collaborative team across engineering and solutions.

The Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will work directly with end clients to take the platform from trial through to production deployment, acting as a technical partner throughout the journey. You will balance hands on engineering with customer facing problem solving, translating complex requirements into robust, scalable solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading technical delivery for customer integrations, from scoping through to production rollout
  • Working closely with end users ranging from highly technical teams to more non technical stakeholders
  • Designing and building AI driven workflows, including LLM and retrieval augmented generation use cases
  • Integrating knowledge graph data into customer environments using APIs, graph databases or analytical platforms
  • Partnering with a solutions consultant who brings deep industry expertise, while you own technical feasibility and execution
  • Feeding recurring customer needs back into the core product to support long term scalability

Your Skills and Experience
You will bring a strong engineering foundation and enjoy working close to customers in fast paced, ambiguous environments.

Key requirements include:

  • Strong commercial experience building and deploying AI or LLM powered systems into production
  • Hands on experience designing, building and debugging LLM workflows, including familiarity with RAG approaches
  • Experience working with modern data platforms and warehouses such as Snowflake or BigQuery
  • Exposure to graph databases and knowledge graphs is highly desirable, (Neo4J)
  • Comfort working in small teams or startup environments, with a proactive, delivery focused mindset
  • Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non technical stakeholders

What They Offer

  • The chance to work on meaningful technology with real impact on healthcare and drug discovery
  • A small, collaborative team environment with direct access to senior leadership
  • Genuine flexibility around location and working style
  • Strong scope for career growth as the company scales

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
