Forward Deployed Engineer (m/f/d)

Your work will directly shape how our technology and agentic systems are deployed across the Limetax group.

What You'll Work On

• Workflow Discovery. Work directly with tax professionals to understand complex operational workflows and identify where software and AI can have the biggest impact.
• Rapid Prototyping. Turn operational problems into working MVPs quickly, test them with users, and iterate based on real-world feedback.
• Product Engineering. Build software, internal tools, integrations, automations, and AI-enabled workflows that solve real problems across our firms.
• Production Deployment. Take solutions beyond prototypes and deploy them into live operational environments.
• Feedback & Iteration. Stay close to users after deployment, evaluate what works, and continuously improve the systems you build.
• Scaling Solutions. Turn successful solutions into reliable, repeatable systems that can be rolled out across the Limetax group.
• Cross-functional Execution. Work closely with founders, engineers, operators, and tax professionals to take projects from problem discovery through implementation.

Your Profile

• You are a strong builder. You have shipped software, automations, or AI-enabled products that real users relied on and are comfortable working across APIs, databases, integrations, and modern development tools.
• You have high agency. You don't wait for perfect requirements or a detailed playbook. You take ambiguous problems, figure out what matters, and drive them from discovery to production.
• You are AI-native. You have built with LLMs, agents, or AI-enabled workflows and understand where AI creates real value — and where humans need to stay in the loop.
• You work well with users. You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, earn trust, and thrive in messy environments with imperfect data, legacy systems, and changing priorities.
• You speak professional German and fluent English. German is essential for working directly with our tax advisory teams across Germany.

Why Limetax

• Real-world impact. Build systems that are actively used in production and directly change how tax professionals work.
• End-to-end ownership. Own problems from understanding the workflow to building, deploying, and improving the solution.
• Tight feedback loops. Work directly with the people using what you build and see immediately where your solutions create value.
• Build applied AI in production. Deploy AI against complex, real-world workflows rather than isolated demos or theoretical use cases.
• Scale across the group. Build solutions in one environment and turn what works into systems that can be deployed across multiple firms.
• Build at an early stage. Help shape the technology, products, and engineering practices that will define how Limetax scales.
• Meaningful upside. Competitive cash compensation plus meaningful equity.
