About this role
Our mission at Netguru is to help entrepreneurs and innovators shape the world through beautiful software. We care about trust, taking ownership, and transparency. As a Certified B Corporation®, we offer a safe, inclusive, and productive environment for all team members, and we’re always open to feedback. If you want to work from home and be a full-time employee, great! We want to create the right opportunities for you.
Over the past ten years, Netguru has changed the way people bank, listen to music, learn languages, and rent bicycles. Some of their clients include Fortune 500 companies and startups like solarisBank or senseFly. Netguru works with the largest brands in the world, such as Volkswagen, IKEA or Keller Williams.
As the Forward Deployment Engineer you will sit at the intersection of client delivery, pre-sales, and internal AI tooling. You embed with a client (or an internal Netguru team), translate ambiguous problems into a defensible technical scope, and ship working AI systems to production - fast. Half of your time goes back into Netguru: every reusable pattern you spot in the field becomes a skill, agent, or MCP inside NetguruOS.
This is a builder role, not an advisory one. Proof of work is a running system - not a deck.
