Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Forward Deployed Engineer - **Company:** Tacto - **Location:** München, Germany - **Contract:** Internship / Graduate position - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Software Debugging, Python (Programming Language), Operational Databases, SQL Databases, Large Language Models, Data Pipelines - **Published:** August 13, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=0d296e16d6ae4474 ## About the Role * You are a builder. You have shipped software, automations, agents, or technical projects that real users relied on. * You write code yourself. You are comfortable with Python and SQL and use AI coding tools to move fast. * You are AI-native. You have built with LLMs against real data and understand where agents work, where they fail, and where humans still matter. * You thrive in messy environments. Incomplete requirements, undocumented data, and conflicting stakeholder input do not stop you from making progress. * You can earn customer trust. You explain technical decisions clearly, handle pushback, and do not over-promise. * You have 0-4 years of experience with evidence of a steep learning curve through strong technical work, ambitious startups, internships, or things you built from zero. * You speak native-level German and fluent English, are based in Munich, and are willing to travel regularly across DACH. ## Description Procurement is over 50% of revenue for industrial companies and their biggest lever for profitability. The hard part is not the software, it is that every customer's reality is different: a different ERP, a different data model, decades of undocumented process. Generic platforms stall exactly there, and that is where most enterprise AI value quietly dies. Forward Deployed Engineering is how we close that gap. You sit inside the customer's environment, build in their production data, and turn what you learn there into product. You are one of the first FDEs at Tacto, so you are not slotting into a playbook, you are writing it while shipping in real accounts. Your Tasks Build in customer environments. Data pipelines, agents, and custom logic on top of the Tacto platform, in real production data. Own the technical side of a deployment. Extraction, mapping, validation, enrichment, until the customer's procurement team can actually work with the result. Be in the room, on site. Run data workshops with key users, debug alongside their IT, and see how a company really buys instead of how the process documentation says it buys. Turn what you learn at the edge into product. Document the pattern and push it to Product and Engineering instead of quietly rebuilding the same one-off for the next customer. Automate your own job. If a step in a deployment can be done by an agent, you build the agent and prove it works. Make it one team. Hold the boundary with Solution Engineering and Customer Value so the customer experiences one Tacto, not three. ## Related Videos - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [Using AI Without Losing Your Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2045-using-ai-without-losing-your-skills) - [AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100340-ai-driven-development) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1520-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding)
