Forward Deployed Engineer

Our stack

We work in a modern TypeScript‑first monorepo:

• Core: Node.js 20+, TypeScript 5+, pnpm workspaces, Turborepo.
• Frontend: React (Vite), Tailwind CSS, and design system.
• Backend & workflows: Express-based services, with DBOS for durable workflows.
• Data & storage: PostgreSQL with pgvector, Prisma ORM, Azure Blob Storage.
• AI & observability: Azure OpenAI, Langfuse, Sentry, plus logging/tracing with tools like Winston and OpenTelemetry.
• Dev experience: AI‑assisted workflows with Cursor and Claude Code, integrated into our TypeScript‑first monorepo and review process.

What you'll bring

We are looking for a software engineer who ships production software and is equally at home in a customer's meeting room.

You may be a strong fit if you have:

• Relevant background: 3+ years as a software engineer shipping production software, ideally including forward deployed, solutions engineering or other customer-facing engineering work.
• Product management or team lead experience: Some experience as a product manager or team lead, where you owned scope, priorities and requirements for what is being built, is a strong plus.
• Strong TypeScript and Node.js backend experience: You build and operate production services and can contribute to React frontends where needed.
• Solid database fundamentals: PostgreSQL (ideally), including data modelling, migrations and performance.
• Integration experience: You have connected a product to enterprise systems through APIs, SSO or data exchange, and have worked within a customer's IT and security constraints.
• Experience building with LLMs: You have put LLM-driven features into production and know how to make them predictable and reviewable.
• Strong customer presence: You scope a problem with non-technical stakeholders, explain technical trade-offs clearly, and manage expectations without a project manager next to you.
• AI-native working style: You use Claude Code or Cursor every day to move faster without compromising reliability.
• High ownership: You take an ambiguous customer problem to production with limited guidance.
• Willingness to travel: You work on site at customers when the project needs it.
• Fluency in English (mandatory). German is a strong plus.

We'll be especially excited if you

• Have worked as a forward deployed or customer-embedded engineer
• Have built software for a regulated industry such as MedTech or pharma.
• Have been a founder or a very early engineer at a startup.

Why this is a great opportunity

• Impact in a high-stakes domain – Work on compliance workflows in one of the most regulated industries, where correctness and traceability matter and the outcomes are real.
• Bring GenAI into production – Build the systems that make LLM-driven features predictable, auditable, and reliable in safety-critical MedTech environments.
• Real ownership – Own major parts of our platform and drive architectural decisions across backend services, workflows, and data.
• AI‑agent‑first development – Build in an environment where tools like Cursor and Claude Code are first‑class citizens, helping you explore designs, refactor, and ship faster while you stay in control of quality and reliability.
• Strong peers – Work with people who care deeply about craft and outcomes, in a high-ownership culture that includes teammates with founder experience.
• Work with leading MedTech companies – Build products used by teams at BBraun, Novartis & Bayer.
