Client-Facing Forward Deployed Engineer

Virtual Identity AG; Österreich; Remote; EUR 70.000 - 110.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Virtual Identity AG is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer who works across client, product, and engineering to prototype, integrate, and deploy production-ready software in client environments.

You will translate real-world requirements into working code, prototype solutions rapidly, and own the end-to-end delivery loop with client teams. Travel to client sites is expected as engagements require.

Qualifikationen

• Strong full-stack or cloud-native engineering experience.
• Ability to translate client problems into technical solutions on the fly.
• Experience with APIs and data integration.
• Willingness to travel to client sites and work in unstructured settings.
• Familiarity with agentic engineering concepts.

Aufgaben

• Embed with client teams to observe workflows, diagnose bottlenecks, and identify where custom software can create outsized impact.
• Rapidly prototype and deploy solutions — internal tools, integrations, automations, data pipelines — directly in the client's environment.
• Translate messy, real-world requirements into working code without waiting for a fully specified brief.
• Own the full loop: build, deploy, get feedback from actual users within days, iterate.
• Use agentic engineering practices — not just AI-assisted coding, but designing workflows, automations, and integrations that leverage agents as a core part of the solution, where it genuinely helps the client.
• Work closely with VI's UX, consulting, and cloud-native engineering teams to transition prototypes into scalable, supportable production systems.
• Navigate client infrastructure, security constraints, and existing systems (cloud platforms, APIs, legacy tools) pragmatically.
• Act as a trusted technical voice in client conversations — you can whiteboard an architecture and defend it in the same meeting.
• Travel to client sites as needed (frequency depends on engagement).
• Experience in an agency, consultancy, or client-facing technical role (nice to have).
• Familiarity with UX research or design collaboration workflows (nice to have).
• Exposure to enterprise integration patterns or legacy system modernization (nice to have).
• Hands-on experience building or deploying agentic systems for a client, not just personal productivity use (nice to have).
• A relevant degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field — but we care more about what you've built (nice to have).
