About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE We're a small, high-caliber founding team building an AI-powered platform that automates end-to-end private market operations for asset servicers and asset managers. Our platform handles everything from data capture and reconciliation to journal entries, master data updates, and reporting — all powered by intelligent, firm-specific workflows. As our first Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll own technical delivery from the very first customer conversation through to production launch.

You'll work directly with private-market operations teams, translate their workflows into production-grade AI deployments, and feed real-world insights back into the core product. This is a high-impact, deeply technical role at the intersection of customer success and product engineering. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the full technical delivery lifecycle — from discovery and scoping through to production deployment - Work directly with customer teams to map existing workflows and surface adoption barriers - Convert customer processes into AI-driven, agentic workflows on our platform - Build customer-tailored prototypes, iterate rapidly, and make informed scope decisions in the field - Bring deployment learnings back into product development planning and roadmap discussions - Identify recurring patterns across engagements and develop reusable components and standardized approaches WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required - 1–6 years of experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a forward-deployed / implementation engineering role - Proficiency in TypeScript and comfort working across a modern full-stack environment - Experience with backend frameworks (e.g.

NestJS or similar), relational databases (e.g. Postgres), and ORMs (e.g. Prisma) - Ability to work autonomously, manage ambiguity, and communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders - Strong customer-facing instincts — you enjoy translating business problems into technical solutions Nice to Have - Familiarity with AI/ML workflows, LLM orchestration, or agentic systems (e.g. Mastra or similar) - Experience with workflow/event-driven systems (e.g.

Inngest or similar) - Frontend skills with React, TanStack, and Tailwind - Background in or exposure to private markets, fund accounting, or financial services operations - Experience at a similarly fast-moving early-stage B2B SaaS or AI startup COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: €70,000 – €110,000 per year, depending on experience - Early-stage equity opportunity - Visa sponsorship available LOCATION This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany.

You'll work closely with the founding team in person. Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
