Forward Deployed Engineer (all genders)

Department: Engineering

Location: Munich Office

Employment Type: FullTime

Build AI that runs inside the world's largest enterprises.
Everyone is building AI. Very few are making it work at enterprise scale.
At Lio, we're building the AI workforce for procurement. Our agents already automate mission-critical workflows for some of the world's largest companies. Every deployment brings new technical challenges. Every customer pushes the product further.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll sit at the intersection of Software Engineering, AI, Product and enterprise customers.
You'll spend your time writing production code, building integrations, solving complex system challenges, and turning customer-specific requirements into scalable product capabilities.
This isn't implementation.
This is engineering.

What you'll build

• Design and build production-ready integrations across APIs, SAP, ERPs and enterprise software

• Build scalable backend services and customer-facing product capabilities

• Work directly with technical and business stakeholders at Fortune 500 companies

• Own technical problems from discovery to deployment

• Turn customer challenges into reusable product features

• Debug distributed systems and production environments

• Work closely with Product and Engineering to shape the roadmap

• Help define how enterprise AI gets deployed at scale

We're looking for builders.
People who genuinely enjoy writing code, solving difficult technical problems and figuring things out when no playbook exists

.
You'll probably thrive here if you...

• have strong software engineering fundamentals

• enjoy backend, systems and integration challenges

• can go from a customer conversation to production code in the same day

• think in products, not projects

• like ambiguity and ownership

• care about clean, scalable engineering

• are excited about AI and where enterprise software is heading

The best part?
Every customer problem you solve has the potential to become product used by every customer.

Why Lio?
A team of ridiculously ambitious people.
People who care more about building than politics.
More about ownership than titles.
More about building than comfort.
We believe exceptional people make each other exceptional.
