Forward Deployed Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: Berlin

Employment Type: FullTime

About the Role

Join a small, high-caliber founding team building an AI-powered platform for private market operations — think fund accounting automation, data reconciliation, and workflow orchestration for asset servicers and asset managers. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll own technical delivery end-to-end: from initial discovery with client operations teams all the way through to production launch of AI-driven agents. What you learn in the field directly shapes the core product.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of enterprise fintech and cutting-edge AI infrastructure, with real ownership and outsized impact from day one.

What You'll Do

• Manage the full technical project lifecycle — from discovery workshops with private-market operations teams through to production deployments

• Collaborate directly with customer teams to map existing workflows and identify adoption barriers

• Convert customer processes into AI-driven, automated workflows on the platform

• Build customer-tailored prototypes with rapid iteration cycles and informed scope adjustments

• Feed deployment insights back into product development planning, acting as the voice of the customer internally

• Develop standardized approaches and reusable components from recurring cross-customer patterns

What We're Looking For

Required

• 1–6 years of experience in a software engineering or technical delivery role

• Proficiency in TypeScript and comfort working across the full stack

• Experience with backend frameworks (e.g. NestJS or similar), relational databases (e.g. Postgres), and ORMs (e.g. Prisma)

• Familiarity with modern frontend tooling (e.g. React, TanStack, Tailwind)

• Strong communication skills — you're comfortable in rooms with both engineers and operations professionals

• A bias for action: you can scope, prototype, and ship quickly in ambiguous environments

Nice to Have

• Background in financial services, private markets, or fund operations

• Experience with agentic or LLM-based workflow tooling (e.g. Mastra, Inngest, or similar)

• Prior experience at a forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or customer-facing technical role at a B2B SaaS or AI company

• Exposure to enterprise integrations — ERPs, banking systems, email/portal data pipelines

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience

• Visa sponsorship available

• Early-stage equity opportunity

• High ownership and direct influence on product direction

Location

This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany. Candidates must be based in or willing to relocate to Berlin. Visa sponsorship is available for eligible candidates.
