Team

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you are the "tip of the spear" for our most strategic initiative. You will solve hard technical truths on the ground, accelerating the adoption of our core AI technologies: Micro-Apps and Agents.

You will sit at the intersection of engineering and customer impact, navigating technical constraints to deploy live, ROI-generating AI Agents within rapid cycles. This is a rare opportunity to accelerate your career by working with senior leadership and opening doors toward future roles as an architect, tech lead, or product manager.

• Enterprise Integration: Architect the middleware and custom connectors required to bridge LumApps AI with systems like SAP, Workday, or ServiceNow.
• Field Feedback Loop: Act as the vanguard for our Core R&D team. You will identify systemic integration patterns in the field and contribute code (PRs) to harden and evolve our core platform, as well as abstract your custom solutions into scalable, repeatable "Industry Vertical Packs."
• Developer Evangelism: Create "plug-and-play" integration templates, code snippets, and technical articles to showcase best practices and enable our broader ecosystem.

Skills

• Educational Background: A degree in Computer Science or Information Technology. We are excited to meet top graduates from leading institutions like ETH Zurich, Ecole Centrale Lyon or similar.
• Get-it-done Mindset: A strong bias for action and the ability to self-prioritize in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Full-Stack Fluency: Proficiency in Node.js, TypeScript, Java or Python. You should be comfortable with frontend frameworks like React and backend API design.

• Communication: Full professional proficiency in English with the ability to translate complex technical challenges into clear business outcomes for customers.
• Availability to Travel: Willingness to travel (approximately 2 weeks per quarter) to innovate directly with customers on-site.

Bonus Points
