About the role

Forward Deployed Engineer based in Munich, splitting time between engineering and customer interaction. Leads full-stack rollouts, designs product backbone with users, and turns deployments into reusable product features and playbooks while coordinating with IT, engineering, and executives across Germany, the EU, and the US.

Responsibilities

  • Lead full-stack rollouts – own implementations end-to-end, from scoping and onboarding to integration and training, and align IT teams, engineers and C-level execs across Germany, the EU and the US
  • Design the product backbone – work hands-on with users, translate their pain into product improvements, and prototype features yourself, ideally writing production code when needed
  • Turn operations into product – every deployment becomes a blueprint for scale: you turn what you learned into reusable product features, data models and playbooks, and grow into roles like CPO or COO

Qualifications

  • 2+ years in a top-tier role (e.g., consulting), as a founder, or as an early employee in a high-growth startup, with a technical degree or background
  • Engineer first – you write production code, understand systems end-to-end, and when something breaks at a customer, you find the root cause
  • Industrial background – experience in manufacturing, industrial software, procurement, supply chain or another industrial domain is a plus
  • Product-minded – you listen to ERP-related feedback and translate it into product features
  • Quality-obsessed – you hold yourself to a high bar, dive deep into problems, and care about getting it right
  • Ultra-professional & detail-obsessed – you earn trust with structure, polish, and docs
  • Crisis communicator – you calm impatient execs and win over IT leaders under pressure
  • Down-to-earth & relatable – you bond with shop-floor operators and executives alike
  • Language – native-level German and fluent English
  • Relocation – ready to work onsite in Munich with 10 to 30% travel
