About the Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join us. This is a role for someone who understands how software really works, inside and out. You are just as comfortable talking to a client as you are reviewing code or solving a production problem.

You work directly with our clients and their development teams. You take technical ownership from the start and make sure the right things get built in the right way. This role is ideal for someone with the mindset of an architect, the focus of a product owner, and the drive to grow into a senior technical leadership role.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you

• Work with clients to understand what they need and turn that into clear technical plans
• Design the technical structure of software solutions
• Review code and guide developers to make good decisions
• Build proof of concepts to test ideas before committing to them
• Debug problems in production and help the team fix them
• Set up and improve delivery pipelines together with the team
• Pair up with developers when they need support or guidance
• Keep all stakeholders well informed and manage expectations throughout the project
• Take responsibility for the technical direction and make sure the team stays on track

You have

• At least 3 years of experience in a software design or development role
• A solid understanding of how software systems are built, connected and maintained
• Experience working with clients or in a consulting environment
• The ability to explain technical topics clearly to non-technical people
• A hands-on mentality: you do not just advise, you build and test
• An interest in new technologies, including AI tools and how they can make a team faster
• Good communication skills in English ánd Dutch

What makes you stand out

You think like an architect but stay close to the code. You take initiative and do not wait to be asked. You bring energy to the team and you make the people around you better.
