Forward Deployed Engineer

Build Prototypes & Accelerate Sales (Hands-on)

• Support strategic enterprise sales opportunities with high-level technical expertise.
• Develop rapid, production-grade prototypes and proof-of-concepts to unblock complex deals.
• Run hands-on technical workshops with customer engineering teams, including live integration sessions against the Authologic API — you should be comfortable writing working code in a customer environment.
• Participate in executive-level customer meetings where technical credibility and speed are critical to winning business.

Design Identity & Payment Architectures

• Integrate Authologic into complex customer ecosystems including:

  - Identity & authentication platforms (MFA, Strong Customer Authentication);

  - Core banking infrastructure and advanced payment systems;

  - Fraud, risk, and transaction monitoring engines;

  - Mission-critical customer onboarding workflows;

• Design EUDI Wallet and eIDAS 2.0 compliant onboarding and authentication flows, advising customers on regulatory obligations and technical architecture ahead of the December 2026 and 2027 deadlines.

Influence Product Direction

• Act as the voice of enterprise customers internally, bringing raw frontline feedback to our product teams.
• Translate complex corporate edge-cases and customer requirements into structured product feedback.
• Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering teams to shape future platform capabilities, deciding where custom delivery ends and core product features begin.

What We're Looking For:

Technical Expertise

• 8+ years of software engineering, solutions architecture, or hands-on implementation experience.
• Strong backend engineering background with professional experience in Java, Kotlin, Node.js, or similar technologies.
• Deep understanding of APIs, webhooks, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems.
• Practical experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Ability to write clean, efficient integration code live during technical workshops and debugging sessions under pressure.

Identity & Financial Systems Experience

• Proven track record of working with regulated entities (Banks, Fintechs, Insurance, or Payment Providers).
• Deep understanding of how identity verification impacts broader business processes (onboarding, payment authorization, fraud mitigation).
• Required: hands-on experience with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect and at least one of: Open Banking / bank API integration, payment infrastructure, or regulated onboarding workflows.
• Advantageous: familiarity with eIDAS 2.0, EUDI Wallet, OID4VP / OID4VCI, or European digital identity schemes.

You take ownership of delivery outcomes, not just deliverables — you care whether the integration is live and performing, not just whether the documentation was handed over.

• You can navigate a large enterprise: architecture review boards, IT security teams, procurement, and compliance stakeholders are familiar terrain.
• You shift registers without effort — detailed technical discussion with a developer in the morning, executive summary with a CTO in the afternoon.

What Success Looks Like

• Within your first 90 days: you have taken ownership of at least one active enterprise implementation and are the primary technical contact for that customer.
• Within six months: you have driven at least two enterprise customers from signed contract to production go-live, and you have run at least three pre-sales technical workshops that progressed deals forward.
• Within your first year: you have established repeatable integration blueprints that reduce average time-to-production, and your frontline feedback has directly shaped at least one core product decision.

Location & Travel

This role is fully remote. It requires regular travel to enterprise customer sites across Europe, typically 5-10 days per month. We will tell you exactly what that looks like in the interview process.

What we offer

• Base salary + participation in the Authologic Inc. Employee Stock Option Program.
• Remote-first culture with access to co-working spaces (we’re a remote organization, but we meet occasionally in the office and during our quarterly off-sites).
• Good start-up vibes, ability to work with ambitious people, and access to the YC network via Authologic founders.
• We give you a lot of space and autonomy to take action – just tell us what you need!
