Field Engineer / FDE
### About the Role
This is the execution-focused half of a Forward Deployed Engineering function at an early-stage fintech building global business identity infrastructure. You sit at the intersection of customers, product, and engineering, owning the technical success of implementations end to end and feeding real-world signal back into the product.
### What You'll Do
* Work directly with customers to scope technical requirements early in the implementation lifecycle.
* Act as the primary technical point of contact for integrations, onboarding, and product rollouts.
* Troubleshoot integration issues in production and guide customers toward scalable, long-term solutions.
* Collaborate with product and engineering teams to identify and resolve friction in implementation flows.
* Improve documentation, tooling, and internal processes to make future implementations faster and smoother.
### What We're Looking For
* 4 to 5 or more years of experience in customer-facing technical roles such as field engineering, solutions engineering, technical implementation, or integration delivery.
* Hands-on experience troubleshooting technical integration issues in production environments.
* Solid working knowledge of modern web application stacks and APIs, including REST, webhooks, or event-driven architectures.
* Production experience with Node.js, TypeScript, or JavaScript.
* Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, including data modeling for integrations.
* Proven ability to scope technical requirements and design implementation approaches in partnership with customers.
* Experience writing technical documentation, API guides, or implementation materials for customer-facing audiences.
* Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with a track record of influencing product decisions based on customer feedback.
* **Domain expertise in KYB, KYC, AML, or regulated onboarding is the strongest signal for this role.** Former Product Owners or Managers from fintech who ran onboarding or KYC programs are also actively considered.
* Familiarity with containerization tools such as Docker or Kubernetes, message queues, or cloud platforms is a plus.
* Clear communicator who can translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
* Comfortable working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with evolving processes.
* Must be available within European timezones. Visa sponsorship is not available.

### Location
Fully remote within European timezones. Being in or near Amsterdam is a strong plus. The full team gathers in person every six weeks for a company-wide collaboration week.
