Forward Deployed Engineer, DACH

Summary

Hands-on forward-deployed engineer embedded with DACH enterprise customers to scope, build, and ship production-grade AI agents, integrations, and multi-step workflows from a Munich base with regular regional travel.

About the Role

This is a hands-on engineering role embedded directly with major enterprise customers across the DACH region, helping them become genuinely AI-native. You'll partner with the Enterprise AI Transformation Lead to scope, build, and ship production-grade AI agents and integrations that deliver real, measurable value — and then feed those learnings back into the core platform.

What You'll Do

  • Serve as the on-the-ground engineer at key DACH enterprise accounts, working closely alongside the Enterprise AI Transformation Lead.

  • Embed on-site with customers to run workshops, hackathons, and implementation sprints.

  • Scope, build, integrate, debug, and teach teams to adopt production AI agents and multi-step workflows.

  • Ship end-to-end, high-leverage use cases including complex agents, custom integrations, MCP servers, and multi-step workflows.

  • Act as a technical peer and sparring partner for customer CTOs and platform teams.

  • Leave behind systems that customers can own and operate independently.

  • Identify platform limitations, work directly with internal engineering, and often write fixes yourself.

  • Drive product improvements by surfacing and implementing customer-driven changes.

  • Build agents that automate your own repetitive work.

  • Travel regularly across the DACH region with a base in Munich.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of enterprise software engineering experience delivering production-grade AI agentic workflows.

  • Proven track record shipping agentic AI systems, tool-use loops, and LLM features that operate under load.

  • Strong full-stack engineering skills with the ability to scope and implement end-to-end solutions, including external integrations and multi-step workflows.

  • Hands-on experience working on-site with large DACH enterprise customers — running workshops and hackathons, scoping complex use cases in live customer meetings, and delivering end-to-end.

  • Experience building custom integrations with enterprise systems and MCP servers for agent deployment.

  • Excellent communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Native-level German proficiency.

  • High agency, strong ownership, and comfort operating with minimal direction.

  • Nice to have: Go experience; founder or early-employee background; experience with AI-assisted coding tools for building agents.
