Job description

The mission

comstruct is building the agentic workforce for European construction. Our agents turn paper delivery notes, fragmented invoices and offline supplier decisions into structured, real-time data and live decisions, embedded inside the largest contractors in Europe and the US. To accelerate this journey, we secured a €12.5M seed financing round from 20VC and Google Ventures , along with top European investors.

About the role

As our Forward Deployed Engineer you are the technical face of comstruct - the person who turns a signed deal into a live and working systems for the customer.

Most of your time you're building: scoping ERP and supplier integrations and making data of our customers flow reliably between systems. But you'll also be on construction sites and in customer meetings regularly - onboarding teams, debugging their problems with the goal to drive every project from POV to full rollout and go-live.

You're a builder who'd rather talk to customers and solve real problems on real construction sites than polish code in isolation? Then we should talk.

What you will be building

• Own POV and rollout implementation: You implement the POV that wins the deal and then scale it into the full rollout across construction sites. From first integration to company-wide go-live, you own and implement it.
• Integrate ERP systems: You connect our product to our customers' ERP systems. You scope the architecture, build the integration and make sure data flows reliably from day one.
• Integrate suppliers: You bring our customers' suppliers onto the comstruct platform, turning delivery notes and invoices into structured, digital item-level data.
• Run on-site onboardings: You go out where construction happens. You onboard teams directly on site and make sure comstruct works on the construction site, not just in the demo.

What we're looking for

• 1-2 years of hands-on experience in Solution Engineering, Implementation, Product or Software Engineering, with coding and technical problem solving from APIs and scripts to system integrations with React, TypeScript or SQL.
• Owned a technical project from start to finish with direct customer contact: project plan, scoping, prioritization, implementation, testing and a successful go-live. Multiple parallel projects don't throw you off.
• Curious to dig deep into our product. You want to understand how things work under the hood and you naturally connect what customers need with what the product can do.
• Natural communicator. People simply enjoy working with you, and you explain technical topics in a way that everyone in the room and on the construction site understands.
• Structured problem solver with a sharp analytical mind. New systems and complex setups don't intimidate you, you figure them out.
• Willing to work five days a week from our Munich office with occasional customer travel.
• Native in German and fluent in English.
• Nice to have: Ideally, you have initial experience with Construction Tech, Supply Chain or Logistics SaaS experience; early-stage startup experience.

Why join comstruct

Construction is one of the largest and least digitized industries in the world. We're building its digital future. Founded in March 2022, we've raised a €12.5M seed round from 20VC, Google Ventures and top European investors and nine of Switzerland's ten largest contractors already run on comstruct. That's the foundation. The category-defining company gets built now - together with you!

What we offer

• Real ownership, twice over: Equity options on top of a competitive salary and the freedom to own your work and build things from the ground up, not execute someone else's plan.
• Learn from the best: Direct mentoring from our Co-founder & CEO Henric Meinhardt, plus access to engineering mentors through our network with Google Ventures and 20VC.
• Build at the frontier: Early access to the latest LLMs and SDKs, any AI productivity tools you need and top-notch hardware.
• Invest in yourself: A dedicated development budget for certificates, conferences and everything that makes you grow with the company.
• Feel at home: Relocation support for your move to Munich, daily dinner options with the team, Wellpass subscription and yearly offsites - the last ones took us to Mallorca and Italy.
