blp-digital - Founding Forward Deployed Engineer
Requirements
• Builder background with real shipping experience - you've taken systems from zero to production and kept them running • Fluent with modern AI tooling: LLM APIs, tool and function calling, agent frameworks, evals, prompt engineering as a real discipline • Strong with TypeScript on the backend. Comfortable with APIs, auth, queues, and integrating with legacy systems • Daily, fluent use of Claude Code, Cursor, or similar - expected to ship meaningfully faster than a traditional engineer because of them • Customer-facing instinct - you genuinely enjoy being in the room with users, asking sharp questions, and pushing back respectfully when needed • You move fast, communicate clearly, and operate well with ambiguity. Comfortable being dropped into an unfamiliar domain and coming back with a working prototype • Fluency in English. German is a plus • MUST: experience automating business processes in the ERP space (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar), or prior background in consulting, solutions engineering, or founding/building products end-to-end • What you'll get • Ship in days, not quarters. Watch a messy enterprise problem become a working production system inside a single engagement. • Work at the frontier. We use and build with state-of-the-art tech, the latest LLMs, agent frameworks, and AI coding tools, with the budget and mandate to keep up as the field moves. • Build with the best tools. No legacy stack to drag around. • Big responsibility, fast. You own customer engagements end-to-end from day one: architecture, build, delivery, and the relationship. • A team that raises the bar. You're working alongside other FDEs and senior consultants who were hired for exactly this pace. • Learn more about blp and our values at blp.digital/company/careers.
Responsibilities
• Sit with end-users, process owners, and client engineers to understand the real workflow - and the real problem underneath the stated one • Translate the target-state process into a concrete technical solution: architecture, data model, integrations, agent and workflow design - and ship it in days and weeks, not quarters • Build full-stack: TypeScript backend, React frontend where needed, integrations, LLM orchestration, evals • Demo early and often. Put working software in front of real users and fold their feedback into the next iteration • Make speed / quality / cost trade-offs in real time. Choose build vs. buy vs. configure existing platform capability • Own observability and evals once live. Iterate until the system is reliable in the customer's real conditions • Earn trust with the client's own engineering and security teams - API access, data flows, deployment, reviews • Bring patterns back - reusable components, prompt structures, integration approaches - so the next engagement ships faster
