About the role

Founding Forward Deployed Engineer in Munich to embed with tier-1 automotive OEMs and suppliers across EMEA, building production software, architectures, and customer-ready solutions at the boundary of Applied's platform and customer environments.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end delivery: from initial problem framing and technical scoping through architecture, implementation, and production rollout inside customer environments.
  • Ship production software: build net-new features, standalone applications, and integrations that solve real customer problems (examples: scenario tooling, data pipeline applications, evaluation frameworks, custom simulation workflows).
  • Embedded with customers: work side-by-side with customer engineering and domain teams at their sites; understand their technical constraints, debug complex issues, and ensure successful outcomes.
  • Bridge the product gap: identify where Applied's platform falls short of customer needs, build custom solutions that fill those gaps, and feed concrete requirements back to product and engineering.
  • Set the bar: as a founding member, codify deployment patterns, build internal playbooks, and help shape how the FDE function operates across EMEA.
  • Travel regularly: expected 25–40% on-site at customer locations across Germany and EMEA.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of shipping production code
  • Full-stack development skills — comfortable across backend, API layer, and frontend as needed
  • Experience working directly with customers in high-stakes, technical environments (FDE, embedded engineering, deep technical consulting, or customer-facing SWE roles)
  • Ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous situations — you define the path forward, you don't wait for one
  • Strong English communication skills; ability to engage confidently with both engineers and senior stakeholders
