Forward Deployed Engineer - AI

Working knowledge of AI governance and compliance frameworks: EU AI Act, NIS2, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, or Gartner's AI TRiSM model.

Experience with AI security topics: prompt injection, data leakage, agent permissioning, model and data security posture (AI-SPM/DSPM concepts).

Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent runtimes, or vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, Chroma).

Background in enterprise data governance, security, backup/resilience, or the Microsoft 365 / multi-cloud ecosystem where AvePoint operates.

Experience delivering into regulated industries (public sector, defense, financial services, healthcare) or air-gapped/sovereign environments.

Prior experience in a forward-deployed, embedded consulting, or customer-facing engineering role.

Additional languages relevant to your region's client base.

Within your first 6–12 months, you will have led AI discovery and governance workshops for multiple enterprise clients, scoped and won at least one significant AI build or governance engagement, and delivered working software into a client environment. Above all: clients ask for you by name.

AI adoption has outrun enterprise control, and regulators have noticed. Every large organization now needs to see, govern, secure, and sustain its AI estate — and most need a partner who can both advise and build. As an FDE at AvePoint you will help define this engagement model from the ground floor, work at the frontier of agentic AI and AI trust, and do it with two decades of enterprise data governance and resilience expertise behind you.
