Job description

A Munich-based AI company is building AI Workers that run logistics operations end to end, for freight forwarders, carriers and 3PLs.

About the Role

They're hiring their first AI Forward Deployed Engineer to own the space between the product and the customer. You're the bridge between a customer's operational chaos and the product. You embed with logistics teams, learn how their operations actually run, and turn that mess into AI Workers that handle it end to end.

Responsibilities

• Embed with logistics operators, learn their workflows, and map the chaos into clear system design.
• Own onboarding end to end. Take new customers from first call to AI Workers running in production.
• Integrate with the messy reality of the enterprise logistics stack: TMS, ERP, email, telephony, EDI, SFTP, event queues, including the undocumented parts.
• Build fast across the stack (Python/FastAPI backend, front end, LLM and agent workflows) to make each deployment actually fit the customer.
• Tune the AI. Prompts, agent workflows, evals, whatever it takes to make the Worker reliable on live operations.
• Feed what you learn on the ground straight back into product and technical direction.
• Own the outcome. If it's not working for the customer, you make it work.

Qualifications

Required Skills

• Hands-on experience integrating with someone else's stack: APIs, external systems, and the messy data in between.
• LLMs in production: prompt engineering, API integration, evals, agent tooling.
• Familiarity with enterprise data flows, event-driven architectures, or background job processing.
• Native or fluent German, plus the communication skills to be trusted in front of customers.

Preferred Skills

Very big bonus: logistics, supply chain, or freight domain experience.

Pay range and compensation package
