Forward Deployed Engineer

About the role

Partners describe their technical needs, and solutions translate these needs into integration approaches. The role bridges engineering and external partnerships to scale working solutions. You report to the Engineering Manager while engaging directly with partners.

Software engineers turn product ideas into working code. Engineers work in small teams, review each other's work, and ship in small batches. Most teams follow agile practices such as sprints and daily standups. Engineers also write tests, fix bugs, and improve performance. The field values clear communication as much as technical skill. Engineers spend part of every week on planning, code review, and debugging, not just writing new code. The ability to explain a technical decision in plain words separates strong engineers from the rest.

Key facts

What you'll do

Partners describe their technical needs, and you translate them into integration approaches for the API. Solutions balance speed, quality, and maintainability so partners use them in their workflows. You move between conversations and code to solve problems where they happen in production environments.

Requirements

The posting states a bachelor's degree requirement. You hold a degree as stated in the listing and apply it to practical integration challenges. You work effectively within a small, focused team in Berlin alongside engineers and a Technical Product Manager. Comfort with APIs and integration patterns enables you to engage directly with partners. You enjoy solving practical problems and seeing solutions work in production for partners. Collaboration with a Technical Product Manager and an Engineering Manager shapes how integration approaches evolve.

Practical notes

You are based in the Berlin office and work full time within the API team. The team owns core API capabilities that partners rely on for recording. for application steps and expectations.

Typical interview steps

Hiring for engineering roles usually starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or two technical rounds. Candidates often solve a coding problem, discuss past projects, and answer system design questions. Some loops include a take-home task. Final rounds typically cover team fit and give candidates a chance to ask questions. Interviewers look for how you break down an unfamiliar problem, not just whether you reach the answer. Practicing a few problems aloud and reviewing your own past projects are the best preparation.

Good to know

Work in software integration focuses on API technology for sports recording and analysis. Teams use automated solutions to record video for matches and training across many clubs. The role involves deploying and maintaining systems that handle video workflows at scale. Success depends on understanding how integrations operate in production environments. Close collaboration with product and engineering teams guides how features evolve for users.

Questions to ask

Worth asking in any interview: how the team measures success, who the role works with daily, what the onboarding looks like, and what the company is trying to achieve this year. Asking what past hires did well is a strong final question. Keep the list short and pick the questions that matter most to you.

Career growth

Engineering careers usually progress from individual contributor to senior, staff, and principal levels. Some engineers move into management and lead teams of five to twenty people. Others stay on the technical track. Growth follows demonstrated impact, not tenure alone. A typical engineering ladder has clear levels with defined expectations for scope, quality, and mentorship. Moving up usually requires owning outcomes end to end rather than completing assigned tickets.
