Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

This is a hands-on, full-stack engineering role embedded within the advisory teams of a tech-enabled tax advisory group. You'll work in tight feedback loops with tax professionals — turning complex, real-world workflows into working software fast. Equal parts engineer and product thinker, you'll own features from scoping all the way through to deployment.

What You'll Do

• Build MVPs in close collaboration with practicing tax advisors to solve concrete workflow problems.

• Translate complex advisory and regulatory processes into clear software requirements and working implementations.

• Iterate rapidly based on direct feedback from non-technical domain experts.

• Own features end-to-end — from requirements gathering and scoping through to production deployment.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience building and shipping production full-stack software.

• Fluent German (spoken and written) — this is a firm requirement.

• Strong proficiency with a modern backend framework (NestJS, Express, or similar Node.js-based stack).

• Strong proficiency with React or an equivalent modern frontend framework.

• Solid full-stack TypeScript skills.

• Proven experience owning features end-to-end and working directly with non-technical stakeholders to gather requirements.

• A code-first mindset — no reliance on low-code or no-code platforms.

• Experience in financial services, tax, accounting, or another regulated advisory domain is a strong plus.

• Familiarity with German business processes or the German regulatory environment is a plus.

• Background in consulting, professional services, or high-performance operational environments is advantageous.
