About the position
We're looking for the top 1% - engineers who treat their craft like athletes treat performance, and who want to work alongside people who do the same. The world has changed dramatically in the last quarter. What used to take a team of consultants six months now takes a sharp engineer a few days. The momentum is unreal, and we're growing into it fast.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you're embedded directly in our customers' environments, taking a messy enterprise problem from first conversation to a working production system in days - not quarters. You work as part of a small senior team - alongside a Senior Consultant and other FDEs - and you own the technical solution end-to-end: architecture, integrations, agent and workflow logic, frontend where needed, evals, deployment. The work starts and ends with the customer, not the codebase. Feedback cycles are measured in hours, the bar is high, and the people you ship with will push you to raise it.
Key Responsibilities
Sit with end-users, process owners, and client engineers to understand the real workflow - and the real problem underneath the stated one
Translate the target-state process into a concrete technical solution: architecture, data model, integrations, agent and workflow design - and ship it in days and weeks, not quarters
Build full-stack: TypeScript backend, React frontend where needed, integrations, LLM orchestration, evals
Demo early and often. Put working software in front of real users and fold their feedback into the next iteration
Make speed / quality / cost trade-offs in real time. Choose build vs. buy vs. configure existing platform capability
Own observability and evals once live. Iterate until the system is reliable in the customer's real conditions
Earn trust with the client's own engineering and security teams - API access, data flows, deployment, reviews
Bring patterns back - reusable components, prompt structures, integration approaches - so the next engagement ships faster
Requirements
Builder background with real shipping experience - you've taken systems from zero to production and kept them running
Fluent with modern AI tooling: LLM APIs, tool and function calling, agent frameworks, evals, prompt engineering as a real discipline
Strong with TypeScript on the backend and React (or equivalent) on the frontend. Comfortable with APIs, auth, queues, and integrating with legacy systems
Daily, fluent use of Claude Code, Cursor, or similar - expected to ship meaningfully faster than a traditional engineer because of them
Customer-facing instinct - you genuinely enjoy being in the room with users, asking sharp questions, and pushing back respectfully when needed
You move fast, communicate clearly, and operate well with ambiguity. Comfortable being dropped into an unfamiliar domain and coming back with a working prototype
Fluency in English. German is a plus
Bonus: experience automating business processes in the ERP space (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar), or prior background in consulting, solutions engineering, or founding/building products end-to-end
Benefits
Solve real problems, fast. Join a high-growth deep-tech startup tackling real-world challenges for global industry leaders.
Work at the frontier. We use and build with state-of-the-art tech - the latest LLMs, agent frameworks, and AI coding tools, with the budget and mandate to keep up as the field moves.
Build with the best tools. No legacy stack to drag around.
Big responsibility, fast. You own customer engagements end-to-end from day one - architecture, build, delivery, and the relationship.
Opportunities to grow. You're controlling your personal development and career trajectory in a rapidly growing, internationally expanding startup.
Exceptional colleagues. You'll be growing alongside individuals from exceptional academic backgrounds and careers.
