About the role

  • Forward Deployed Engineer building AI-based ERP automation solutions for enterprise clients. Engaging with users to deliver tailored solutions rapidly.

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.
