Descripción del empleo

Murphy deploys AI agents for banks starting with the most straightforward business case: voice AI for debt collection. We’ve built a fully‑fledged platform designed to optimize recovery rates while maintaining respectful and personalized communication. Our AI‑powered agents adapt instantly, engaging with debtors across channels like voice, messengers, email and SMS to maximize results while preserving trust. We’re live with Santander, Revolut, BBVA and dozens others. We’ve proven the product in large‑scale pilots with top‑tier banks. And now we need to move fast to secure leadership in this $300Bn+ industry.

About the Role

Murphy is building the AI platform that powers debt collection for some of the world's leading banks, telcos and utilities. We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer based in Barcelona who will play a key role in building and deploying Murphy in Brazil. You'll sit within our Barcelona team, working closely with Product, Engineering, Deployment and Revenue, while spending significant time working directly with our customers and prospects in Brazil. This means regular travel to Brazil to run discovery sessions, support deployments, solve complex customer problems and build strong relationships with the teams using Murphy. You'll operate at the intersection of engineering, product and customer success. You'll understand how a customer's business works, translate complex requirements into technical solutions, build and configure those solutions, and make sure Murphy delivers measurable value in production. This is a highly autonomous role. You'll be expected to get close to the customer, figure out what needs to be done, and make it happen.

Responsibilities

• Deliver technically robust client configurations: Ensure every deployment is technically correct, properly scoped, and aligned with agreed requirements before going live. Own configuration quality end-to-end — no silent workarounds, no fragile setups.
• Optimize agent performance through structured iteration: Continuously analyze performance metrics and improve voice agent and communication flows. Use data to identify patterns, diagnose issues, and implement measurable improvements.
• Act as the technical counterpart to clients: Participate in client meetings as the product and systems expert. Clearly explain architecture, constraints, trade‑offs, and product capabilities. Set expectations without overpromising.
• Provide structured product feedback: Identify when challenges stem from configuration vs. product gaps. Raise structured product requests with clear context, impact, and proposed direction. Collaborate with Product and Engineering to improve the platform.
• Design scalable, reusable solutions: Ensure configurations are maintainable and scalable across clients. Avoid one‑off solutions that create downstream technical debt.

Requirements

• Native Portuguese speaker with fluent English.
• Based in Barcelona and comfortable with international travel, particularly to Brazil.
• Background in Data Science or Data Analysis.
• Strong technical foundations and the ability to write and understand production‑quality code.
• Comfortable working directly with customers and translating business requirements into technical solutions.
• Deep product and systems understanding: Ability to reason end-to-end about data flows, architecture, dependencies, and system behavior. You think structurally, not reactively.
• Analytical and performance‑driven thinking: Comfortable working with KPIs, performance metrics, and iteration cycles. Uses data to guide improvements, not intuition alone.
• Extreme ownership of configuration quality: Holds a high bar for technical correctness and long‑term maintainability. Takes responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.

What we offer

• Salary: €35.000–€75.000+ gross/year from entry to senior levels
• We aim to pay fairly and competitively based on skills, experience, and impact. For exceptional candidates, we’re open to discussing compensation outside of this range.
• Stock options: Because we all build Murphy together – you'll own a piece of what we’re creating.
• Impact: Be part of our startup journey from day one, playing a key role in our growth and building something meaningful from the ground up.
• Learning: Continuous development through trainings, knowledge‑sharing, and exposure to other top‑tier startups in our ecosystem.
