Senior Forward Deployed Engineer – AI & Agentic Systems + Presales
Summary
Senior role at software house nomtek (Wrocław, remote): embed with clients to architect modern backend systems and AI agentic workflows, while driving technical pre-sales — scoping pilots, presenting to C-level, and turning alignment into deals. Requires strong backend/AI fundamentals and C1 Polish and English.
We are redefining traditional, slow corporate software engineering. We believe the future of development belongs to small, ultra-fast, high-velocity teams that leverage cutting-edge AI to punch far above their weight.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be the leader of this movement. You will embed directly into client ecosystems to solve complex business bottlenecks by architecting modern backend systems and advanced AI agentic workflows.
You will combine software engineering expertise with consultative selling skills, helping customers understand how our technology can solve their most important challenges. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable discussing business value with senior stakeholders, designing technical architectures, writing code, and presenting working solutions to customers.
If you are frustrated by legacy bureaucracy and want to build cutting-edge tech at a breakneck pace, this is your sandbox.
- AI-First Mindset: You have deep, practical experience with Artificial Intelligence. You understand agentic approaches (autonomous agents, tool-use, multi-agent orchestration) inside out. For us, a profound understanding of AI behavior and architecture is far more critical than just knowing web frameworks.
- Strong Tech Fundamentals: Solid production experience in backend technologies and architectural patterns.
- Full-Stack Competency: You can confidently navigate modern web stacks. While your primary strength lies in backend and AI architecture, you have the versatility to seamlessly jump into the frontend when a project demands it.
- Technical Pre-Sales & Executive Communication: You have a proven track record of working closely with clients in a pre-sales or consulting capacity. You don't just speak code; you speak business value. You can command a room of C-level executives, scope complex commercial pilots on the fly, and turn technical alignment into closed deals.
- Very good level of Polish and English language (at least C1 in both)
Soft Skills
- Hyper-Fast Learner & Sharp Thinker: Your raw cognitive speed and ability to master new concepts overnight matter more to us than a perfect match of keyword technologies on your resume.
- Extreme Autonomy: You are highly self-directed. When faced with a complex, poorly documented client system, you don’t wait for instructions - you find a way through.
- Context-Switching Agility: You can fluidly pivot between writing deep backend/agentic code, presenting to client executives, and leading a pre-sales discovery call without losing your momentum.
- High Empathy for Client Friction: You understand that clients are often frustrated by their own internal bureaucracy. Instead of getting annoyed by their slow pace or legacy constraints, you act as a calm, trusted advisor who is there to make their lives easier.
