Forward Deployed Engineer (AI Procurement)

Salary: CHF 80’000 - 120’000 per year

Requirements:

• 4+ years experience as a full-stack or product engineer in B2B SaaS or technical environments (React/Next.js, TypeScript, Python/FastAPI).
• Strong ability to understand messy real-world workflows, discuss technical solutions directly with customers, and translate requirements into production software.
• Customer-facing communication skills. Comfortably running workshops, demos, and technical deep-dives independently.
• Proven ownership mindset: you take ambiguous problems from zero to a shipped solution without needing a heavy structure and help to optimize product market fit.
• Passion for problem discovery and finding creative angles to solve them while being in close touch with the engineering team.

Responsibilities:

• As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Scalera, you operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success:
• Work directly with our customers (construction companies & suppliers) to analyze tender workflows, uncover automation opportunities, and design technical solutions for real operational problems.
• Build and deploy customer-specific automations, integrations, and AI-powered workflows using our platform stack (React, Next.js, Python/FastAPI).
• Rapidly prototype solutions, validate them in production, and generalize high-impact use-cases into scalable platform features for the broader customer base.
• Act as the technical bridge between customers and the core product team. Feeding back product insights, edge cases, and feature opportunities from real-world usage.
• Own projects end-to-end: discovery → implementation → launch → iteration, while maintaining high engineering standards via CI/CD and testing.
• You will collaborate closely with the CEO, CTO, and Head of Engineering and operate as one of the primary drivers of workflow innovation across our customer base.
