As a Forward Deployment Engineer, you’ll help drive the growth of Speechmatics by working directly with customers, partners, and developer communities to demonstrate, integrate, customise, and deploy our Voice AI, fast.

You’ll operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and adoption. Part product evangelist, part hands-on builder, you’ll implement our Voice AI in demos, Proofs of Concept, pilots, and full-scale production environments. You’ll also engage with the wider developer ecosystem, building examples, running workshops, supporting integrations, and helping developers unlock the full potential of our APIs.

This is a deeply hands-on role. You’ll work side-by-side with end-users, customer engineering teams, developer communities, and our internal engineering organisation to deliver measurable value in days or weeks, not months.

If you love building real solutions, iterating quickly, and seeing your work used in the wild, this role is for you.

What you’ll be doing

  • Build rapid prototypes, Proofs of Concept, and pilots to validate customer and community use cases

  • Design, develop, and deploy custom integrations of Speechmatics’ APIs in diverse environments

  • Create high-impact demos for customers, events, hackathons, and developer audiences

  • Collaborate directly with customer engineering teams to optimise deployments for accuracy, scalability, and performance

  • Act as a technical bridge between customers, developer communities, and product engineering — surfacing feedback and improving developer experience

  • Develop technical assets (sample apps, starter kits, code snippets, workshops) that help developers build successfully with our APIs

  • Support installation, operational best practices, and successful adoption across deployments

Who we are looking for

  • Strong software engineering background with deep API integration experience

  • Proficient in modern web technologies (TypeScript, SvelteKit, React); full-stack capability preferred

  • Comfortable building rapid prototypes and production-grade integrations

  • Clear, confident communicator, equally effective with engineers, customers, and developer audiences

  • Passion for Voice AI, conversational interfaces, and developer experience

  • Experience engaging technical communities (talks, workshops, open-source, technical content)

  • Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration

  • Able to turn incomplete ideas into scalable, well-designed solutions

  • Motivated by impact, ownership, and building things that ship

Competitive salary plus OTE or bonus, with great additional benefits.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not feel you match all of the requirements exactly. The list of requirements is intended to show the kinds of experience and qualities we’re looking for, but it is not exhaustive. If you are interested in the role, the team, and our mission, we would love to consider your application. We are always open to conversations and look forward to hearing from you.

Who we are:

Speechmatics is the leading expert in Speech Intelligence, and uses AI and Machine Learning to unlock business value in human speech worldwide. We work with an amazing mix of global companies, and our technology can integrate into our customers stack irrespective of their industry or use case – making it the go-to solution to harness useful information from speech.

Joining us means working with some of the smartest minds around the world, focused on cutting-edge projects and deploying the latest techniques to disrupt the market. We believe in putting people first; we’ll do all we can to help you develop your skills and give you the tools you need to thrive. Our Focus Fridays give you an undisturbed day of focus, offset with Together Tuesdays when we have our team meetings, so you've always got the right balance.

We have structured a hybrid approach that includes 2-3 designated office days each week. This arrangement ensures that while we embrace the advantages of remote work, we also maintain the vital connection and synergy that only in-person interactions can foster.

This is only the beginning; we’re looking for amazing people like you to continue our journey…

What we can offer you:

No matter what stage of your career you’re at - from paid internships and first-job opportunities through to management and senior positions - we’ll support you with the training and development needed to reach your career aspirations with us. There really is no shortage of opportunities here for you to get involved and collaborate with those around you to deliver your best work.

We offer incredibly flexible working, regular company lunches, and birthday celebrations. But that’s not all. We’ve spoken to our teams to find out what they want. From Private Medical, and Dental for you and your family, through to global working opportunities, a generous holiday allowance and pension/401K matching, we want to make sure our employees and their families are looked after. Every employee will receive a working from home allowance for tech or home office equipment (on top of your choice of laptop and accessories of course). Our approach to parental leave is designed to support employees globally. While this varies by geo, we have support in place for parents (including adoption assistance and reproductive health services) to ensure they have the time and financial resources needed to care for their growing families.

At Speechmatics, our mission is simple: Understand Every Voice out there. 

That's not just about our tech – it's the heart and soul of who we are. We welcome different experiences, viewpoints, and identities. For us, it’s not just the right thing to do; it’s our catalyst for sparking innovation and creativity. Our teams thrive in an environment that celebrates and supports everyone – no matter their gender, identity or expression, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion, belief, marital status, national origin, veteran status, pregnancy, or maternity status.

But we don’t just open the door to diversity – we actively welcome it. Why? Because we believe every unique voice adds something special to our team, leading us to smarter solutions and a better workplace.

So, come as you are and join our Speechling community. We’re building a place where every voice not only gets heard but is also respected and valued.
