Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (m/f/d) | Integration & Automation | Full-time

Your responsibilities

• Implement defined customer projects end to end, from technical design to production, in direct collaboration with the customer.
• Build connections between Ayunis Core and customer systems such as document management systems, council information systems, specialist applications and identity providers, typically as MCP servers around existing APIs.
• Build customer-specific agents and automations on Ayunis Core.
• Challenge project scopes before implementation: check that the problem is well defined, flag gaps early and propose better solutions where you see them.
• Work with customers' IT departments, municipal data centres and software vendors to get access, permissions and security approvals in place.
• Own what you deploy: reliability, monitoring and support for the integrations you build.
• Set up the delivery practice: project templates, reusable connectors, documentation, estimation and handover to support.
• Spot recurring patterns across projects and, together with Product and Engineering, turn them into marketplace integrations and platform features.
• Help hire and onboard future Forward Deployed Engineers.

Requirements

What you bring

• Senior experience as a software engineer building and operating production systems, ideally with TypeScript and Node.js.
• Hands-on experience integrating external systems: REST and SOAP APIs, OAuth/OIDC, webhooks, file-based interfaces and synchronization.
• Experience building with LLMs and agents, including tool calling, MCP, prompt design and evaluating results.
• Comfort with Docker, Linux, networking and the security basics of connecting systems across organizational boundaries.
• A track record of delivering projects for or with customers, including handling scope, timelines and expectations.
• The judgement to question a requirement when it doesn't fit the problem, and the pragmatism to ship when it does.
• Experience building up structure where there was none: processes, reusable tooling or a team.
• Fluent German ( C1 or higher! ) and good English is required.
• Experience with public-sector IT (e.g. DMS such as enaio or d.velop, XÖV standards, municipal data centres) is helpful but not required.

Our stack

TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React, TanStack, PostgreSQL, Redis, S3-compatible storage, Docker Compose, Hetzner, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry and multiple LLM providers.

No LangChain though – we've built our agent orchestration from the ground up.
