Delvo is building the agentic intelligence layer for strategic procurement. We connect spend, contracts, supplier information, and market signals so enterprise teams can negotiate better, understand costs, and act on opportunities.
Our ambition is to give procurement teams agents that carry out meaningful work—from investigating a supplier to preparing a negotiation—with the context and tools the task demands.
We’re a small team in Berlin, building closely with customers and shipping to production every day. You’ll bring us closer to the people we’re building for.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’re a product engineer who wants to be in the room where customers work. You’ll visit procurement teams, understand their decisions, and build the software that makes Delvo valuable in their day-to-day work.
You might spend a morning with a buyer preparing a supplier negotiation, spot where our agent misses crucial context, and ship an improvement that afternoon. Another day, you’ll build an adapter for customer data or investigate conversation histories to understand why one workflow succeeds and another gets stuck.
You’ll own the journey from understanding the problem to seeing your solution work in practice. Working alongside Product Engineers and our AI and Data leads, you’ll turn customer insights into improvements that make Delvo better for everyone.
Get inside the customer’s world. Spend time on-site with procurement teams, learn how they think, and uncover what they need to get done. Turn broad requests into clear problems worth solving.
Make our agents better through real usage. Dig into customer conversations and execution traces. Find patterns in where agents succeed, misunderstand, or stall—and improve prompts, context, and tool use. Turn recurring failures into evaluation cases with our AI team.
Build what unlocks the workflow. Ship product features, custom adapters, and integrations that connect customer data and systems to Delvo. Work across the stack to take a solution from first idea to production.
Own the path to customer value. Stay close through rollout, observe how people use what you’ve built, and keep iterating until it delivers. Bring recurring needs into our shared product and platform so every deployment makes the next one better.
Our stack includes TypeScript, React/Next.js, Postgres/Supabase, Vercel, and Python. We stay at the forefront of AI-powered engineering—and you’ll help keep us there, improving the tools and workflows that let us learn and ship faster every day.
You’ve personally shipped software for real users and have strong full-stack or backend foundations, including APIs, SQL, and TypeScript or Python.
You enjoy starting conversations, asking thoughtful questions, and building relationships. You can move comfortably between a procurement user, an IT team, and an engineering discussion.
You’re curious about how businesses work and want to go deep into procurement - from supplier relationships and contracts to the decisions behind a negotiation.
You enjoy investigating AI behaviour. You’re happy to read conversations, trace failures, test hypotheses, and check whether your changes actually improve the outcome.
You turn ambiguity into action, communicate trade-offs clearly, and follow through after launch.
You’re excited to work from Berlin and travel to customers, spending time alongside the people using what you build.
Experience with enterprise integrations, LLM applications, or technical customer work is helpful. You can learn procurement here; curiosity, engineering ability, and initiative should already be part of how you work.
You get energy from both building software and spending time with customers. You want to understand a problem firsthand, challenge assumptions respectfully, and take responsibility for solving it.
You’re comfortable switching between an on-site workshop, a debugging session, and a pull request. Priorities evolve as you learn, and you can make progress without a detailed
brief.
The reward is a short distance between your work and its impact: you’ll sit next to people using something you built and see exactly what to improve next.
Competitive salary and meaningful equity—share in the value you help create.
Direct founder collaboration and a strong voice in product direction.
A steep learning curve across engineering, applied AI, and enterprise procurement.
A top-spec MacBook Pro and leading AI tools to do your best work.
A home base at Delta Campus in Berlin Neukölln, with opportunities to work on-site with customers.
Intro call — with Martin Bender, Founder’s Associate.
Technical deep dive — with a Founding Engineer or our CTO — discuss what you’ve built and the decisions behind it.
On-site — at our Berlin office — meet the founders Erik, Darius & Jonas and the entire team, and work through a practical problem together. AI coding tools welcome.
Reference check — with your agreement, we’ll ask for two references from your most recent roles.
