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.

-
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
