Forward Deployed Engineer (f/m/x)

Become part of Tanso and decarbonize industries with us.

What if the impact of your role extended beyond a job title?

Not through marketing spin. Not through vague "purpose-driven" messaging. But through software that helps industrial companies understand, manage and actively reduce their environmental impact.

That's what Tanso is building. And it's one of the reasons people join us.

Your role

Each industrial company we work with sets things up differently. Activity data sits in SAP, in energy management systems, with fleet providers and in spreadsheets, and each company has its own approval steps and reporting requirements. Our platform handles the calculation and reporting. Getting each customer's data and processes into it, reliably and in a way they trust, is where a lot of the value is created.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (f/m/x), you own that part. You'll work directly with our customers' sustainability, finance and IT teams, connect their systems to Tanso, and build the integrations, data pipelines and workflows that make the platform work for them.

You'll write production code in our codebase, not workarounds next to it. And when you solve the same problem for a second customer, you'll make sure it becomes part of the standard product, so nobody has to solve it a third time.

Key responsibilities

• Own customer implementations end-to-end, from scoping to go-live and the first completed reporting cycle.
• Build the integrations, features and workflows our biggest customers need to work with Tanso day to day. Ship them in our codebase together with our product teams.
• Connect Tanso to the systems customers already use, such as ERP systems like SAP, data warehouses or Microsoft 365, and make sure these connections work reliably.
• Build AI agents which take over routine implementation work, and share what works with the rest of the team.
• Run on-site workshops with sustainability managers, finance and IT.

Your profile

• Hands-on experience in software engineering, solutions engineering or a technical implementation role.
• AI-native way of working: AI agents are an integral part of how you build and deliver.
• Strong communication skills, in writing and in person: You explain technical decisions in a way that sustainability managers, finance and IT teams all understand.
• Excellent German and English, spoken and written (C2): You run workshops and present to customers in German and work with our team in English, so both need to be at a professional level.
• Solid full-stack skills: You are comfortable working in an existing codebase and with external APIs.
• Product sense: You can distinguish what a customer asks for from what they actually need, and you build the simplest solution that solves it.
• Willingness to travel regularly to customers across the DACH region.

What we offer

• A highly competitive compensation package with an attractive equity package to participate in Tanso's growth.
• Hybrid working model that combines the benefits of onsite collaboration with the flexibility needed.
• A company-contributed pension plan to support long-term financial security.
• Yearly budget to support ongoing professional development.
• Sponsored access to EGYM Wellpass to prioritize your wellbeing with thousands of options.
• Exclusive discounts that help you save on a wide range of everyday brands, services, and experiences.
