Forward Deployed Engineer
About the Role
We're a small, high-caliber founding team building an AI-powered platform that automates end-to-end private market operations for asset servicers and asset managers. Our platform handles everything from data capture and reconciliation to journal entries, master data updates, and reporting - all powered by intelligent, firm-specific workflows.
As our first Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll own technical delivery from the very first customer conversation through to production launch. You'll work directly with private-market operations teams, translate their workflows into production-grade AI deployments, and feed real-world insights back into the core product. This is a high-impact, deeply technical role at the intersection of customer success and product engineering.
What You'll Do
Own the full technical delivery lifecycle - from discovery and scoping through to production deployment
Work directly with customer teams to map existing workflows and surface adoption barriers
Convert customer processes into AI-driven, agentic workflows on our platform
Build customer-tailored prototypes, iterate rapidly, and make informed scope decisions in the field
Bring deployment learnings back into product development planning and roadmap discussions
Identify recurring patterns across engagements and develop reusable components and standardized approaches
What We're Looking For
Required
1-6 years of experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a forward-deployed / implementation engineering role
Proficiency in TypeScript and comfort working across a modern full-stack environment
Experience with backend frameworks (e.g. NestJS or similar), relational databases (e.g. Postgres), and ORMs (e.g. Prisma)
Ability to work autonomously, manage ambiguity, and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders
Strong customer-facing instincts - you enjoy translating business problems into technical solutions
Nice to Have
Familiarity with AI/ML workflows, LLM orchestration, or agentic systems (e.g. Mastra or similar)
Experience with workflow/event-driven systems (e.g. Inngest or similar)
Frontend skills with React, TanStack, and Tailwind
Background in or exposure to private markets, fund accounting, or financial services operations
Experience at a similarly fast-moving early-stage B2B SaaS or AI startup
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: 70,000 - 110,000 per year, depending on experience
Early-stage equity opportunity
Visa sponsorship available
Location
This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany. You'll work closely with the founding team in person. Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
