Client-First Forward Deployed Engineer

Virtual Identity AG; Porto; Presencial; EUR 50 000 - 85 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Virtual Identity AG is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer who works at the intersection of client, product, and engineering. You embed with client teams to observe workflows, diagnose bottlenecks, and deploy solutions directly in the client's environment.

You will prototype, integrate, and iterate with real users, translating real-world requirements into working code and collaborating with UX and cloud-native teams to produce scalable, production-ready systems.

Qualificações

• Shipping real software with a track record, not just prototypes.
• Able to translate problems for non-technical stakeholders.
• Solid backend + frontend knowledge and cloud platform experience.
• Experience with APIs, data integration, and automation.
• Knowledge of agentic engineering concepts.
• Bias toward action and early user feedback.
• Strong communication without jargon.
• Comfort with ambiguity and unstructured work.
• Willingness to travel to client sites.
• Experience in agency/consultancy or client-facing tech roles.
• Familiarity with UX research or design collaboration workflows.
• Exposure to enterprise integration patterns or legacy system modernization (nice to have).
• Hands-on experience building or deploying agentic systems for a client (nice to have).
• Degree in CS/engineering; focus on built work (nice to have).

Responsabilidades

• 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 — designs for workflows, automations, and integrations that leverage agents as a core part of the solution.
• Work closely with VI's UX, consulting, and cloud-native engineering teams to transition prototypes into scalable production systems.
• Navigate client infrastructure, security constraints, and existing systems 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.
