When transitioning from software engineering through our Forward Deployment Engineering course, we take a staged approach. to ensure the trainee can handle the real-world unpredictability of a field engineer.
Stage 1: Speed & Prototyping
We unlearn bad academic habits.
- Speed First: Trainees will learn to rapidly develop integration layers using available APIs and light wrappers.
- End-to-end Debugging: Engineers will debug broken backend microservices, SQL queries and patching client code at the same time.
- User Translation: Trainees will be able to translate vague user issues raised by non technical execs into clear bug tickets and realistic project scopes.
Stage 2: Python
Once trainees have good problem solving habits they will learn how to code using modern python practices.
- Type Hints: Developers will create Pydantic models and utilise modern Python typing to ensure that data contracts don’t fail.
- Async: Trainees will be taught how to apply async and await concepts to handle large amounts of concurrent requests.
- Exception Handling: Engineers will create custom exceptions, retry loops and strong logger frameworks so that scripts don’t fail during high pressure client presentations.
Stage 3: AI & Agentic
Modern Forward Deployment Engineering heavily involves deploying generative models and agentic systems.
- Vector Search: Trainees will scale vector pipelines, improve chunking techniques and manage complex search over large volumes of documents.
- Multi Agent: Trainees will create supervisor worker models using LangGraph and Model Context Protocol.
- Security: Engineers will create tight validation around inputs and outputs to avoid prompt injection, data leaks and token cost spikes.
Stage 4: Enterprise
As enterprise clients will have strict rules around their systems, trainees will learn how to work in tight environments.
- Air Gap: Trainees will deploy, containerise and run applications within an air gap.
- Authentication: Trainees will learn how to tie modern applications to enterprise authentication services such as Active Directory, SAML and OAuth2 proxies.
- Auditing & Compliance: Trainees will audit local binaries and patch up vulnerabilities in dependencies to meet strict compliance standards for finance or healthcare.
Stage 5: CI/CD & Observability
Trainees will learn how to maintain systems and manage client relationships.
- Hot Patching: Engineers will create scripts to rollback changes and hot patch blue green deployments directly into client clusters.
- Log & Trace: Trainees will set up light logging tools to extract trace errors from legacy systems.
- Handover: Trainees will attend masterclasses on how to professionally push back, manage scope creep and create runbooks.
