Forward Deployed Engineer Bootcamp Waitlist

Why join

How this cohort will benefit you.

Built for AI engineers who want to own what they ship, not hand it over.

1

Own the outcome, not just the code

Take one client account from a vague brief to production. Nobody takes over after you.

2

Work in the client's real environment

Legacy systems, messy partner data and a security review. Not a clean sandbox.

3

Add product and client skills

Discovery, scoping, PRDs and difficult stakeholders, practised on a simulated client.

4

Step into a client-facing role

Made popular by Palantir, the FDE role is now common at AI and enterprise software companies.

You leave with proof: a signed SOW, a deployed AI trace assistant and a launch review in front of the client panel.

The career ladder

The five levels of a Forward Deployed Engineer.

Most AI engineers stop at level 1. FDE roles are hired at levels 4 and 5. In eight weeks you practise all five.

L1

Build AI that works in a demo

Week 4Trace assistant on supply chain events

L2

Connect it to the client's real systems

Week 2REST, SOAP and a legacy XML feed

L3

Get it past the security review

Week 3SSO, role-based access, tenant isolation

L4

Win over the stakeholders

Weeks 1, 2 and 5Discovery, the SOW and the PRD

L5

Own it in production and prove it

Weeks 6 to 8Scale, eval gates and the launch review

Where most AI engineers are todayWhere FDE roles are hired

What you go through

Eight weeks. Something shipped every week.

Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8:00 to 11:00 PM IST, from Wed 2^nd Dec 2026. Every week your pod submits a Build Ledger and the instructors reply in writing.

Week 1

Landing the account

The FDE role, why AI stalls between demo and production, and your first discovery interviews.

You ship: Discovery notes

Week 2

Scoping the real problem

Enterprise integration with REST, SOAP and webhooks. Then a SOW that holds when the client tries to expand scope.

You ship: Signed SOW

Week 3

Getting through the door

OAuth, SSO and tenant isolation. Then a security review with a platform head who trusts no vendor.

You ship: Tenant-bound access

Week 4

Making sense of the mess

Knowledge graphs with Neo4j and hybrid RAG over scattered supply chain events.

You ship: Trace assistant v1

Week 5

Inherit and prioritise

Read an undocumented prototype and triage the tech debt. Then write the PRD and roadmap.

You ship: PRD + roadmap

Week 6

Scale and trust

Queues, retries and multi-tenancy at 100x pilot volume, plus AI UX and governance.

You ship: Load test + SLOs

Week 7

Ship and prove

Docker, Kubernetes and CI with eval gates. Then the ROI story for your CTO.

You ship: Rollout pipeline + ROI one-pager

Week 8

Operate and launch

Game day, a blameless postmortem and the handoff. Then the launch review with the full panel.

You ship: Launch review

How it works

You do not watch this one. You run it.

For eight weeks you work as a Forward Deployed Engineer at AtliQ AI. Your first client is TraceGrid, a supply chain platform whose biggest customer needs most of a day to trace one possibly contaminated lot.

Your mission: make that trace take seconds.

Build an AI trace assistant grounded in real supply chain events and get it into production. Every session opens with a message from a stakeholder. Dhaval, Siddhant and Karandeep teach it live.

Cohort 1 starts Wed 2^nd Dec 2026

Tony Sharma VP Product

Steve Rajhans Head of Platform

Miles Malhotra GS1 Compliance

Bruce Hariyali Customer Solutions

Natasha Rai CTO, AtliQ AI

Product Lead AtliQ AI

Your client team at TraceGrid and AtliQ AI. Fictional companies, real problems: the GS1 EPCIS standard, legacy XML feeds and messy partner data.

1 AI trace assistant

Grounded in real captured events, behind tenant-bound access, shipped through CI with eval gates.

16 live sessions

One systems session and one product and client session every week, 3 hours each.

1 launch review

Your system, presented to the full TraceGrid panel on demo day.

Your career

What you take into your next interview.

A signed scope

Discovery notes, an assumptions log and a SOW you defended.

Tenant-bound access

SSO and role-based access working end to end, with a threat model.

A deployed AI trace assistant

Graph-backed retrieval over real supply chain events.

Inherited code, stabilised

A codebase map, tests, ADRs and a PRD.

A pipeline with eval gates

Shadow mode, a rollout runbook and an ROI one-pager.

A launch review

Runbooks, a postmortem and a review in front of the full panel.

We don't make fake job guarantees. We give you the proof.

Proof, not promises

★★★★★

I have joined cohort 3 August batch. I really wanted to learn about AI and wasnt aware where and what to start until codebasics has launch their bootcamp. I will never forgot how much cohort has changed me related to my technical skills and professional growth. We have joined this course with a vision that we will learn AI but this course has not only taught me AI but also improved most of my technical skills. The entire bootcamp was knowledgeable and motivating

I had an excellent experience attending Codebasics' Live AI Engineering Bootcamp. The course content was very well structured, and the instructors were highly effective at explaining the core concepts while also sharing valuable nuggets of wisdom. The program kept me accountable through relevant project assignments, which helped build a real sense of accomplishment. It was also a great opportunity to network with like-minded people. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop relevant skills as an AI engineer, as well as to anyone curious about understanding today’s AI-enabled world.

Live AI Engineering Bootcamp

★★★★★

The first class covered several advanced concepts right from the start, which made it difficult for beginners to follow. I was expecting a more interactive, step-by-step learning approach with practical examples and hands-on exercises. It would also be helpful to include a software installation and setup guide before diving into the course content. As a result, I found it challenging to understand and keep up with most of the material covered in the session.
