About The Position

As part of OpenText’s AI first strategy, we are forming a Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team to harness the power of our legacy data mastery with the next generation of Agentic AI. Unlike the current bandwagon approach to all things LLM powered, OpenText is building on our natural moat: enterprise data management for the biggest brands in the world. For 35 years, OpenText has been the custodian of the world’s most critical data; we hold unrivaled, enterprise grade trust in a market where access to data, the right to manipulate it, and the expertise to leverage it for business outcomes is paramount. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you won’t just build AI—you’ll redefine how it delivers value in the enterprise. You’ll embed directly with some of the world’s largest organizations, working side-by-side with business and technical leaders to turn complex challenges into scalable, agentic AI solutions. From problem discovery to production deployment, you’ll own the full lifecycle—rapidly building solutions that deliver measurable outcomes in weeks, not months. This role sits at the center of everything: customer engagement, product innovation, and go-to-market strategy. You’ll act as both builder and advisor—translating business needs into technical solutions, influencing product direction with real-world insights, and helping shape how OpenText brings AI to market. If you’re excited by the idea of combining deep data expertise with cutting-edge AI—and seeing your work drive real transformation—this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.
