The position
Job description
A Forward Deployed Engineer helps our most important customers turn IT-lifecycle ambition into reality. You partner with them directly to design, build, and launch the workflows that drive adoption, deepen usage, and deliver measurable outcomes
This is a brand new team, set up like a startup inside Workwize. It exists for two reasons. New clients should get what they need to go live in weeks, not months. And our clients should get an engineer who knows their setup and fixes things fast
There is no product manager writing specs for you. You talk to the client, decide what is worth building, build it, ship it, and check that it made a difference. Everything you work on should bring clear value to the client and to Workwize. To be clear: this is not a machine learning or AI research role. You think alongg with our clients and build product features, workflows, and integrations on our platform. You use AI tools every day to move fast
Discover. Get deep into the client’s IT world: goals, processes, tech environment, governance, and adoption blockers
Design. Turn that into engineering solutions: what Workwize owns, what integrates, how it becomes a durable operating layer that makes IT simple
Deliver. Stay hands-on through onboarding, building, launching, and iterating until it is live and the value is real
Work directly with the teams of new / enterprise clients. Run the discovery, agree what “done” looks like, and keep everyone updated
Turn messy requests from calls, Slack, and email into small, clear tickets with a measure of success on each
Build and ship production-quality code in our product. Not demos, not side forks
Say no, or “not yet”, when a request does not bring enough value. Propose the quickest-best version that solves the real problem
Track the impact of your work: faster go-lives, more orders and usage on the platform, fewer support tickets, happier clients
Work closely with Onboarding, Customer Success, Operations, sales and the product teams
Benefits
Dynamic Work Place: Work flexibly with hybrid and remote options, plus the ability to work from anywhere for up to four weeks each year.
Diverse, Global Team: Collaborate with a diverse team across cultures, unified by English, and anchored by our Amsterdam headquarters.
Heart of Amsterdam: Enjoy the centrally located headquarters in Amsterdam with scenic views of the iconic canals.
Monthly Team Events: Connect and celebrate with regular team events, meet-ups, and milestone celebrations in Amsterdam..
Time to Recharge: Take advantage of vacation policies tailored to your region, ensuring work-life balance wherever you are.
Home Office Budget: Receive a MacBook and a home office budget to ensure you’re set up for success anywhere.
Preferred experience
Experience working directly with customers or clients: you have run calls, scoped work, and pushed back when needed
You investigate, prototype, plan, and ship with AI. You do not wait for another team to start. You know when to trust AI output and when to check it yourself
Fluent English, spoken and written
Around 4+ years of building and shipping software that real users depend on. You code at the level of a strong product engineer and work across the stack: web apps, APIs, and integrations
You think in business terms. You can explain why something is worth building, not only how to build it
Experience at an agency, an early-stage startup, or running your own company, where you had to do a lot with a small team
Experience with enterprise clients, and an understanding of how decisions get made (and blocked) inside large organisations
Experience with IT, device management, or HR and identity tools (for example Intune, Jamf, Okta, or an HRIS)
Are pragmatic and fast
People who combine consultative discovery, systems thinking, technical fluency, workflow design, implementation judgment, and strong customer presence. In practice, that means you:
Get energy from working with people. You enjoy being on calls and in the room with clients, then going back to build
Lead yourself. You don’t need someone to tell you what to do next, and clients trust you to run their project
Think like an entrepreneur. You care about the outcome for the client, not about the ticket
Communicate clearly and directly
