Field Engineer / Forward Deployed Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is the execution-focused half of a Forward Deployed Engineering function at an early-stage fintech company building digital identity and onboarding infrastructure. You are the technical bridge between customers and the product team, owning implementation success from day one and feeding real-world customer signals back into how the product evolves.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Work directly with customers to scope requirements early and set implementations up for long-term success.

- Act as the primary technical point of contact for integrations, onboarding, and product rollouts.

- Troubleshoot integration issues in production environments and guide customers toward scalable solutions.

- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to identify and resolve friction in implementation flows.

- Improve documentation, tooling, and internal processes to make future implementations faster and smoother.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 4 to 5 or more years of relevant experience in field engineering, solutions engineering, technical implementation, or similar customer-facing technical roles.

- Hands-on experience troubleshooting and resolving integration issues in production environments.

- Proficiency with modern web stacks and APIs, including REST, webhooks, or event-driven architectures.

- Production experience with Node.js, TypeScript, or JavaScript.

- Comfort with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, including data modeling for integrations.

- Experience scoping technical requirements and designing implementation approaches collaboratively with customers.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including writing customer-facing documentation and API guides.

- Domain expertise in KYB, KYC, AML, regulated onboarding, or a closely related compliance area is the strongest signal for this role.

- A background as a Product Owner or Manager in fintech who ran onboarding or compliance workflows is also actively considered.

- Familiarity with containerization tools, message queues, or cloud platforms is a plus.

- Must be available to work within European timezones.
