About EXLdata.ai
EXLdata.ai is EXL’s flagship multi-agent orchestration platform that automates the end-to-end lifecycle of enterprise data pipelines – spanning data migration, data engineering, data quality, data governance, data ops, and unstructured data annotation.
Having launched our MVP and now expanding across multiple Fortune-500 engagements, we are entering a rapid scale-up phase with two distinct delivery models:
- Client-Deployed Model: Deploy EXLdata.ai within the client’s own cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and orchestrate their pipelines using our accelerator suite.
- Managed Platform Model: EXL hosts EXLdata.ai in a dedicated private cloud and provides a white-glove, Data-Product-as-a-Service experience.
To support this growth, we are hiring a Forward Deployment Engineer who will serve as the technical anchor at the intersection of cloud engineering, data engineering, GenAI, and client value realization.
Role Overview
The Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE) is the tip-of-the-spear technical role responsible for ensuring that EXLdata.ai is successfully deployed, adopted, and scaled within client environments.
You will work side-by-side with client teams, product engineering, and our GenAI agent teams to:
- Deploy EXLdata.ai into client cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP)
- Resolve infra, security, and data pipeline issues in real time
- Customize accelerators and agent workflows for client-specific needs
- Drive measurable value realization from Day 1
- Champion product enhancements back to the EXLdata.ai engineering team
- Deliver white-glove support for clients using our managed platform offering
This role is ideal for a senior data engineer who loves solving real-world problems, can operate in ambiguous conditions, learns fast, and thrives in high-impact client environments.
