You’ll have real freedom, shape the tech, and share in the success (salary, earnings share and equity in products we launch). If you have a startup spirit, enjoy side projects, and want to see your work make a real impact, we'd love to connect.\nAbout us\nOverfly is a Berlin-based Partner for Applied AI. We're a team of engineers, product builders and strategists who help enterprises find high-impact AI use cases, then design and build them to production.\nTasks\nWhat you'll be doing\n**\nTechnical leadership**\nOwning the technical direction of client projects end-to-end, from architecture decisions (multi-tenant cloud, auth, data isolation) to production-ready delivery on enterprise cloud infrastructure (Azure, GCP, OVH)\nMaking and defending the unsexy calls: IaC standards, release strategies, CI/CD pipelines, security architecture, deployment topology\nDesigning systems that hold up in regulated enterprise environments, including DSGVO, ISO 27001, SOC2, pen-tests, and compliance reviews\nStakeholder navigation in complex enterprise settings\nBeing the technical voice in client meetings. You translate trade-offs, scope feasibility, and shape requirements with non-technical decision makers, IT security, legal, and C-levels in parallel\nRunning the room when enterprise stakeholders disagree: mediating between internal IT (firewalls, VPN, network architecture), external partners (hosting, auth providers), and process owners with conflicting agendas\nManaging expectations proactively: surfacing risks early, correcting unrealistic cost or timeline assumptions with real numbers, and escalating through the right channels when needed\nCommunicating commitments that hold. Binding dates, clear scope, honest status. Not optimism disguised as a plan\nForward Deployed work\nEmbedding into client teams, shipping real features alongside their engineers and process owners, often across multiple organisations at once\nRamping quickly into unfamiliar codebases, legacy enterprise systems (Oracle, SAP-adjacent environments) and complex domains (utility metering, insurance, FMCG)\nTranslating user reality (e.g. the Sachbearbeiterin who wants Excel-like UX) into something your engineering team can actually build\nTeam organisation\nCoordinating internal engineers, external partners, and client staff on the same delivery: clear ownership, clear handoffs, clear status\nUnblocking problems across projects, reviewing code, and raising the bar on how we ship\nCollaborating with strategy and product to turn business goals into technical plans with budget and timeline attached\nHands-on engineering\nBuilding full-stack solutions with TypeScript (React, Node, Next.js, Tailwind) and integrating AI where it creates real value, not where it's trendy\nStaying ahead on AI tooling and pulling what works into our projects and workflows\nRequirements\nWhat you'll bring\n5-8+ years of full-stack experience (React, Node, TypeScript) and at least one production deployment you personally owned from architecture to go-live on a major cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP or equivalent)\nProven ability to own technical direction from start to finish: architecture, infra, CI/CD, security, delivery\nConsulting or agency experience working directly with enterprise clients, ideally in regulated environments (utilities, finance, insurance, pharma)\nOutstanding communication skills in German and English. You can explain a VPN trade-off to a non-technical CFO and a compliance officer in the same meeting, and both leave convinced\nCalm under stakeholder pressure. You know when to push back, when to escalate, and when to just ship\nAn entrepreneurial mindset. You turn ambiguity into plans and plans into working products\nGerman at a professional working level. Non-negotiable for our enterprise client conversations\nTech we use\nOur current tools include:\nAI frameworks and APIs (LangChain, OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, Azure AI)\nTypeScript (React, Node), Tailwind CSS, Next.JS, Vite, React, React Router\nAnalytics tools like Mixpanel and PostHog\nDatabases like Supabase, Postgresql, Azure Cosmos DB\nDeployment platforms (Vercel, Google Cloud)\nBenefits\nWhat we offer\nReal equity in the products we build together, with an option to invest further\n4-day work week as team default\nCustomizable perks (transportation pass, gym membership, rental bike), choose what fits your life\nAutonomous, self-managed work environment\nExperienced, flat team structure, no corporate hierarchy here\nOpportunity to build practical, valuable AI products used by real people\nRemote or hybrid work model: 2 days/week at Delta Campus, the rest remote\nCompetitive salary plus annual bonus based on company performance\nHow to apply\nWe don't need a polished CV. Just send us your LinkedIn profile or a quick overview of your background, plus short answers (2-5 sentences each) to these prompts:\nA project you built yourself and what made it special\nWhy you're excited about AI, especially something you think most people get wrong\nA full-stack project where you took technical leadership\nA clever non-technical solution or \"hack\" you've used to gain an advantage\nThis helps us quickly understand who you are and what motivates you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5291,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity","Gym membership","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T00:22:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.251,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":174,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:6","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/overfly-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-mwd-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/overfly-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-mwd-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T21:21:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32746,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":684594},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=684594"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Foverfly-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-mwd-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Foverfly-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-mwd-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Foverfly-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-mwd-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/overfly-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-mwd-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Foverfly-senior-forward-deployed-engineer-mwd-2"}]}
