Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

Join a small, high-caliber founding team at a Berlin-based AI-native fintech company building autonomous agent workflows for private market operations. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll own technical delivery end-to-end — from discovery sessions with fund accounting and operations teams through to production launch — and feed real-world deployment insights directly back into the core product.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing engineering role at the intersection of AI systems, financial operations, and rapid product iteration. You'll work on-site in Berlin with a tight founding team, operating with high autonomy and impact from day one.

What You'll Do

• Manage the full technical delivery lifecycle — discovery, scoping, build, and production launch — for AI-driven fund accounting agent deployments

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

• Convert customer processes into production-grade AI-driven workflows on the platform

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

• Translate deployment learnings into concrete product feedback and development planning

• Identify recurring patterns and develop standardized approaches and reusable components over time

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Eligibility to work in Germany without visa sponsorship

• Ability to work on-site in Berlin

• Proven ability to transform customer workflows into production deployments of AI/ML-driven systems

• End-to-end technical delivery ownership, from discovery through to go-live

• Experience engaging stakeholders in private-market operations (e.g. fund accounting, treasury, transfer agency)

• Proficiency deploying AI/ML systems to production environments — including monitoring, rollback, and production-grade tooling

• 1–3 years of relevant engineering experience

Nice to Have:

• Comfort operating in a small founding-team environment with high ambiguity and rapid iteration

• Familiarity with the tech stack: TypeScript, NestJS, Postgres, Prisma, Inngest, React, TanStack, Tailwind

• Background at companies working on AI agents, workflow automation, or fintech infrastructure

Compensation & Benefits

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

• Early-stage equity opportunity with a founding-team position

• High-ownership, high-impact role within a lean and experienced team

Location

• Berlin, Germany — on-site

• Visa sponsorship is not available; candidates must already be eligible to work in Germany
