About OneByZero
OneByZero is a Frontier Systems Integrator building agentic AI systems for the largest banks, telcos, insurers, and retailers across Asia Pacific. We work on problems that matter to the institutions running the financial and digital infrastructure of the region. We operate exclusively on AWS, with partnership programmes that give us co-sell reach, funded innovation, and delivery credibility across 10 markets. We build with people who are genuinely curious, technically serious, and obsessed with outcomes over output.
The Role
The Forward Deployed Engineer (Agentic AI) builds production agentic systems inside regulated enterprises, on client infrastructure, with client data, under the constraints that banks, telcos, and insurers actually operate under.
You are embedded in a client squad. You design, build, evaluate, and own production agentic systems end to end. You stay until the system works, the evaluations hold, and the client's team understands what they have. You leave behind something the next engineer can build on.
At OBZ, you work alongside AI coworkers as your development partner. You direct them, review their output, validate it against your evaluation criteria, and use them to move faster than any individual engineer could alone. This is not a novelty. It is the model.
This role is open to exceptional engineers with 4- 6 years of experience. What matters is not years of experience. It is the quality of your thinking, the depth of your curiosity, and the evidence that you have already been building with agentic tools because you wanted to, not because someone asked you to.
What You Will Do
What We Are Looking For
What Sets You Apart
Travel and Location
OBZ's clients are in Southeast Asia, ANZ, and Japan. FDE presence at the client is project-driven: short intensive stays during key delivery phases, longer stays for extended programmes. Where the right engineer is not locally based, OBZ supports both travel and relocation depending on the engagement length and the individual's circumstances.
What Success Looks Like
The client has a production agentic system that is performing, that their team understands and can operate, and that is producing the outcome that justified the investment.
OBZ has something reusable from every engagement you touch: a design pattern, an evaluation framework, a deployment runbook, a code module that the next squad picks up without starting from scratch. Your work compounds across the firm, not just within a single account.
You are a more capable engineer at the end of every engagement than you were at the start. You have pushed into something you had not done before, solved a problem that was not in the playbook, and left evidence of that growth in the IP you contributed and in the engineers you developed alongside you.
When all three of these are consistently true, you are succeeding at this role.
Certifications
AWS AI Practitioner, AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional), and Anthropic certification are all relevant and valued. Certification expectations are calibrated to level and assessed during the hiring process.
What We Offer
Competitive compensation benchmarked to market. The opportunity to work on AI transformation programmes that matter to the institutions millions of people in Asia Pacific depend on. A team that spans 10 markets, brings together some of the most experienced AI, data, and enterprise technology practitioners in the region, and moves fast without losing quality. Access to the AWS partnership programmes and frontier AI tooling that most firms in this region do not have. A firm that is building something genuinely new, with a leadership team that has scaled and delivered before.
OneByZero is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
Why OneByZero
Agentic AI in regulated enterprise is the hardest version of this problem. The clients are the institutions that run the financial infrastructure of Asia Pacific. The constraints are real. The stakes are high.
OBZ is one of the few firms in the region doing this work at production scale in regulated industries, with an AWS partnership that puts you at the frontier of what is deployable. You will build systems that matter, work in squads small enough that your contribution is visible, and use AI coworkers as a genuine force multiplier.
If you are at the start of your career and want to be shaped by the hardest agentic engineering problems in the region, this is where that happens. If you are experienced and want to work on problems that are still genuinely unsolved, this is also where that happens.
Note - Only candidates with existing unrestricted work authorization in Singapore will be considered, as visa sponsorship is not available for this position
