About the Role
Join a small, high-caliber founding team building an AI-powered platform for private market operations — think fund accounting automation, data reconciliation, and workflow orchestration for asset servicers and asset managers. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll own technical delivery end-to-end: from initial discovery with client operations teams all the way through to production launch of AI-driven agents. What you learn in the field directly shapes the core product.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of enterprise fintech and cutting-edge AI infrastructure, with real ownership and outsized impact from day one.
What You'll Do
-
Manage the full technical project lifecycle — from discovery workshops with private-market operations teams through to production deployments
-
Collaborate directly with customer teams to map existing workflows and identify adoption barriers
-
Convert customer processes into AI-driven, automated workflows on the platform
-
Build customer-tailored prototypes with rapid iteration cycles and informed scope adjustments
-
Feed deployment insights back into product development planning, acting as the voice of the customer internally
-
Develop standardized approaches and reusable components from recurring cross-customer patterns
What We're Looking For
Required
-
1–6 years of experience in a software engineering or technical delivery role
-
Proficiency in TypeScript and comfort working across the full stack
-
Experience with backend frameworks (e.g. NestJS or similar), relational databases (e.g. Postgres), and ORMs (e.g. Prisma)
-
Familiarity with modern frontend tooling (e.g. React, TanStack, Tailwind)
-
Strong communication skills — you're comfortable in rooms with both engineers and operations professionals
-
A bias for action: you can scope, prototype, and ship quickly in ambiguous environments
Nice to Have
-
Background in financial services, private markets, or fund operations
-
Experience with agentic or LLM-based workflow tooling (e.g. Mastra, Inngest, or similar)
-
Prior experience at a forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or customer-facing technical role at a B2B SaaS or AI company
-
Exposure to enterprise integrations — ERPs, banking systems, email/portal data pipelines
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience
-
Visa sponsorship available
-
Early-stage equity opportunity
-
High ownership and direct influence on product direction
