Forward Deployed Engineer

About Authologic

Authologic is building the identity infrastructure layer for the digital economy. Our orchestration platform enables enterprises to verify users globally through a single API, connecting identity providers, banking systems, eID schemes, and verification services into one seamless experience.

As we scale across financial services, fintech, gaming, telecom, and regulated industries, we are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who can bridge the gap between enterprise customers and our engineering organization.

This is not a traditional software engineering role, nor is it a theoretical consulting position. Inspired by modern, high-velocity tech delivery models like Snowflake, this role requires a unique hybrid of a heavy-hitting backend developer and an enterprise deployment specialist. You will work directly with some of Europe's most sophisticated organizations, helping them design, prototype, implement, and optimize identity and payment workflows that become critical parts of their core business operations.

The Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be the driving execution force behind enterprise customer onboarding and implementation. You are the ultimate bridge connecting deep technology with complex corporate business processes.

You will own the technical delivery of our most strategic enterprise deals — from first architecture conversation through to production go-live. You will work directly with customer engineering teams, compliance stakeholders, and executive sponsors, and you will carry direct influence over Authologic's product roadmap through the feedback you bring back from the field.

What You'll Do

Lead Enterprise Implementations & Onboarding.

Act as the primary technical delivery lead for enterprise customers during onboarding and implementation, taking full ownership of the production go-live.

Design and oversee integration strategies for complex customer environments, ensuring compatibility with legacy enterprise systems.

Guide customers from proof-of-concept through production deployment, mapping Authologic’s API directly into their internal business operations and user journeys.

Build Prototypes & Accelerate Sales (Hands-on)

Support strategic enterprise sales opportunities with high-level technical expertise.

Develop rapid, production-grade prototypes and proof-of-concepts to unblock complex deals.

Run hands-on technical workshops with customer engineering teams, including live integration sessions against the Authologic API — you should be comfortable writing working code in a customer environment.

Participate in executive-level customer meetings where technical credibility and speed are critical to winning business.

Design Identity & Payment Architectures

Integrate Authologic into complex customer ecosystems including:

• Identity & authentication platforms (MFA, Strong Customer Authentication);
• Core banking infrastructure and advanced payment systems;
• Fraud, risk, and transaction monitoring engines;
• Mission-critical customer onboarding workflows;

Design EUDI Wallet and eIDAS 2.0 compliant onboarding and authentication flows, advising customers on regulatory obligations and technical architecture ahead of the December 2026 and 2027 deadlines.

Influence Product Direction

Act as the voice of enterprise customers internally, bringing raw frontline feedback to our product teams.

Translate complex corporate edge-cases and customer requirements into structured product feedback.

Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering teams to shape future platform capabilities, deciding where custom delivery ends and core product features begin.

What We're Looking For

Technical Expertise

• 8+ years of software engineering, solutions architecture, or hands-on implementation experience.
• Strong backend engineering background with professional experience in Java, Kotlin, Node.js, or similar technologies.
• Deep understanding of APIs, webhooks, event-driven architectures, and
