Since early 2026, we have been part of Multiverse, Europe’s only EdTech unicorn and the continent’s largest AI upskilling platform. Together, we are pursuing a clear goal: to make 100,000 employees in Germany AI-ready and close the country’s data and AI skills gap. You’ll join as one of the first people in our new FDE unit, which we plan to expand significantly over the coming years, giving you plenty of room to shape things and the opportunity to take on responsibility for the team and methodology early on. As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (f/m/d), you’ll work exactly where this goal becomes reality: directly with our internal and external customers, at the intersection of technology and real business needs. You enjoy taking end-to-end ownership, understand what large companies and their business units need, and turn that into AI solutions that run in production and deliver measurable impact. ## Your Responsibilities - Work directly with customers and business units, translating their requirements into concrete end-to-end technical solutions - Develop customer solutions and products that interface directly with our internal systems and platforms - Build AI prototypes and solutions, integrating AI end-to-end, from backend to frontend - Reliably bring solutions into production, including deployment, monitoring, and testing - Ensure our solutions are privacy-compliant and suitable for use in the EU - Enable our customers to operate and further develop your solutions independently - Feed learnings from customer projects back to Product and Engineering ## What you bring - 5+ years of professional experience in software development, at least 2 of them in customer-facing or full-stack roles. Experience as a “Solution Engineer” or “AI Engineer” is a plus. - You work AI-first and naturally use AI tools in your day-to-day engineering. You’re also able to share your knowledge and bring it into the team. - Experience with end-to-end development using Python (FastAPI or Django) and TypeScript/React - Confident with PostgreSQL, schema migrations, testing, and CI (pytest, typed code, GitHub or similar) - Experience with Docker-based deployment and solid knowledge of observability - Experience in customer-facing delivery: you have already turned requirements from business units into working solutions - Business-fluent German and very good English communication skills - Experience with GDPR, business acumen, and solution engineering are a plus - Willingness to travel to discuss and implement solutions with customers This role probably isn’t for You if… This role is probably not the right fit if you prefer working with clearly defined tickets and would rather leave customer conversations to others. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll sit at the table with business units yourself, ask the right questions, and figure out what’s actually needed. ## What We Offer Work culture A solution-oriented, data-driven way of working, an open feedback culture, and strong team spirit. Two Trustees, elected by the entire StackFuel team, act as a neutral, confidential point of contact for your questions and concerns. Ownership Take on responsibility from day one, actively contribute your own ideas, shape processes sustainably, and have a real influence on how we work. Hybrid working We work in a hybrid model and are usually in our Berlin office 3 days a week. Workation Work from anywhere in the EU, the EEA, and Turkey for up to 10 days per year. Room for exchange Regular team exchanges, seasonal celebrations, and an always well-stocked kitchen make for a lively atmosphere. Professional development Take our online trainings to expand your skills and become an expert in data and AI. ## About StackFuel ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: StackFuel provides online, hands-on training programs in data and AI skills for individuals and businesses, helping people launch data careers and companies upskill their workforce. - **Entity Type**: Private (acquired by Multiverse in January 2026) - **Headquarters**: Berlin, Germany - **Founded**: 2016 - **Founders**: Leo Marose (CEO & Co-Founder), Stefan Berntheisel (CTO & Co-Founder) ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Professional education and corporate training, specifically focused on data science, artificial intelligence, and digital skills. - Target customers: Both B2C (job seekers and career changers, funded via education vouchers from the Federal Employment Agency) and B2B (enterprise clients such as Telefónica, Mercedes, BMW, and Deutsche Bahn). - Mission or purpose statement: “Empower companies through their employees to master the data and AI revolution.
