The Role

Job Title: Forward-Deployed Software Engineer (Deployments)

Location: Zürich, Switzerland

Why this role matters

The modern inbox was never built to run a complex logistics business, leading to missed orders, cold RFQs, and manual ERP data entry. By joining our founding team as a Forward-Deployed Software Engineer, you will bridge the gap between advanced GenAI capabilities and legacy enterprise systems, replacing manual pain with automated efficiency. Without you, our clients' operational workflows remain bottlenecked; with you, they run seamlessly at scale.

What you'll do

You will own the end-to-end technical deployment, integration, and operational success of our AI Coworkers at client sites.

Who this is a fit for

• Fullstack Developer: Proficient in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript for rapid, reliable prototyping.
• GenAI Builder: Proven experience building and running GenAI proof-of-concepts and AI agents end-to-end.
• Integration Expert: Strong understanding of systems, APIs, data pipelines, and ERP/CRM integrations.
• Pragmatic Shipper: Guided by an 80/20 instinct to ship high-impact solutions quickly.
• Customer-Facing Engineer: Comfortable scoping technical requirements directly with clients and traveling regularly across the DACH region.
• Bilingual Communicator: Professional fluency in English and C1+ German (Swiss German is a major plus).

What it's like to work here

Everything we do is about making our clients’ lives easier. We get things done, deliver results, and go all in with no excuses. We aim high, take smart risks, and learn from mistakes. No egos here: just teammates who have each other’s backs and win together. If we say we’ll do it, we do it. On time, every time. We are efficient, scrappy, and focused on what matters. Positivity is contagious, and ideas always win over hierarchy. Working at the company will be intense, messy, and deeply rewarding.

The offer

• Founding Team Impact: Direct influence on our product roadmap, engineering culture, and strategic direction.
• Complete Ownership: Build under the 'you build it, you run it' philosophy with high operational autonomy.
• Radical Autonomy: A flat hierarchy where ideas always win over titles and red tape is nonexistent.
• High-Growth Culture: Join a supportive, ego-free team of high performers who have each other's backs.

This probably isn't for you if

• You prefer purely internal development: This role requires you to regularly walk into customer offices and collaborate directly with non-technical users.
• You need highly structured processes: Our environment is intense, messy, scrappy, and constantly moving.
• You separate building from running: If you expect to hand off your code to a support team without owning its operational success, this isn't the right fit.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
