from Rackspace careersAs a Forward Deployed Engineer at Rackspace Technology, you will be embedded directly with our most strategic enterprise customers to architect, build, and deploy high-impact AI solutions. This role combines deep technical engineering with business acumen, customer empathy, and end-to-end solution ownership. You become the technical bridge between Rackspace’s AI platform capabilities and the customer’s most pressing business challenges.

- Lead end-to-end solution design and delivery of agentic AI workflows, RAG pipelines, knowledge graphs, and real-time decision-making applications.
- Drive rapid prototyping and POCs that demonstrate tangible business value within days to weeks.
- Serve as the primary technical owner across the full project lifecycle: scoping, architecture, build, deployment, and post-launch optimization.
