About the role
We are looking for a Partner AI Deployment Engineer (P-ADE) to lead technical delivery with OpenAI partners across EMEA and help scale customer deployments built on the OpenAI platform. This role focuses on working across a wide range of customer use cases, supporting the design, deployment and scaling of production-grade AI solutions delivered through partners.
You will work closely with partner delivery teams, alongside Solutions Engineers (SEs), Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and other ADEs, to move customer engagements from initial design through to stable, scaled production.

Act as a primary technical delivery partner for a set of OpenAI partners across EMEA, supporting customer deployments across multiple industries and use cases.
Work with partner delivery teams and customer stakeholders to translate solution designs into deployable, production-ready architectures on the OpenAI platform.
Support customer time to value through hands-on prototyping, integration support, architectural guidance and troubleshooting during critical phases of delivery.
Collaborate closely with SEs, FDEs, and other ADEs to ensure the right technical expertise is engaged from design through production rollout.
Help partners operationalise solutions by addressing scalability, reliability, security and safety considerations required for enterprise production environments.
Contribute to reusable deployment patterns, reference architectures and delivery guidance that enable repeatable execution across partner engagements.
Act as a technical quality and governance point during deployments, helping ensure solutions meet OpenAI’s standards and best practices before and after go-live.
Capture and synthesise feedback from real customer deployments and share insights with Applied, Research and partner teams to improve delivery playbooks and platform capabilities.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
Have 8+ years of experience in technical consulting, solution delivery or a similar role, working with senior technical and business leaders on complex enterprise deployments.
Have experience delivering large, multi-stakeholder technical projects in partnership with boutique services organisations, system integrators or similar delivery environments.
Have strong hands-on experience building, integrating and operating production software using modern languages such as Python or JavaScript.
Have designed, deployed and supported Generative AI and or machine learning solutions in real-world production environments.
Have practical experience working with the OpenAI platform in customer-facing or delivery contexts.
Are a clear communicator who can work effectively with partner engineers, internal teams and customer stakeholders.
Take ownership of delivery problems end to end and are comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
Bring a collaborative, humble mindset and enjoy working across partners and internal teams to deliver successful customer outcomes.
