Forward Deployed Engineer
About the Role
This is a hands-on, full-stack engineering role embedded within the advisory teams of a tech-enabled tax advisory group. You'll work in tight feedback loops with tax professionals - turning complex, real-world workflows into working software fast. Equal parts engineer and product thinker, you'll own features from scoping all the way through to deployment.
What You'll Do
Build MVPs in close collaboration with practicing tax advisors to solve concrete workflow problems.
Translate complex advisory and regulatory processes into clear software requirements and working implementations.
Iterate rapidly based on direct feedback from non-technical domain experts.
Own features end-to-end - from requirements gathering and scoping through to production deployment.
What We're Looking For
3+ years of experience building and shipping production full-stack software.
Fluent German (spoken and written) - this is a firm requirement.
Strong proficiency with a modern backend framework (NestJS, Express, or similar Node.js-based stack).
Strong proficiency with React or an equivalent modern frontend framework.
Solid full-stack TypeScript skills.
Proven experience owning features end-to-end and working directly with non-technical stakeholders to gather requirements.
A code-first mindset - no reliance on low-code or no-code platforms.
Experience in financial services, tax, accounting, or another regulated advisory domain is a strong plus.
Familiarity with German business processes or the German regulatory environment is a plus.
Background in consulting, professional services, or high-performance operational environments is advantageous.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: €60,000 - €120,000 per year depending on experience.

On-site in Berlin, Germany.
