At Lio, we’re building THE AI workforce for procurement. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and enterprise customers, building integrations and turning customer requirements into scalable product capabilities.

What You’ll Do

  • Build enterprise integrations across APIs, SAP, and other business systems
  • Design scalable technical solutions directly with enterprise customers
  • Debug and resolve complex issues in production environments
  • Own customer-driven features from MVP to production, and turn recurring needs into reusable platform capabilities
  • Automate deployment and implementation workflows with Product and Engineering

Your Profile

  • You enjoy solving technical problems across APIs, integrations, and distributed systems
  • Ownership: you build reliable, scalable solutions, not just things that work
  • You like working closely with customers and translating their challenges into product improvements
  • Clear communication across Engineering, Product, and customer teams
  • You thrive in fast-moving environments where you learn quickly and have direct impact
  • Excited about bringing AI into enterprise operations

What’s Not Required

You’ll work with Fortune 500 companies across Europe and the US, with ownership from day one. What you build won’t stay customer-specific: it shapes the future of our platform.

What We Offer

  • Brand-new office at Stiglmaierplatz in central Munich, fully equipped and designed by our teams, with no rules on how it has to look. It tells our story.
  • Food & drinks: catered dinner in the office four days a week, plus a cereal bar, snacks and drinks. Protein fan? We’ve got you covered.
  • Regular team events, from beer pong tournaments to team dinners
