About the Job

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (alternative title: Senior Backend Engineer) (f/m/d) to join our R&D team and work hands-on with our largest enterprise accounts. In this role you will be the technical bridge between Certivity and our customers, owning data migrations from legacy systems, building integrations with customer services, and shipping the customer-specific tools that turn Certivity into a mission-critical workflow.

Your mission

What you will do

• Migrate customer data from legacy source systems (e.g. IBM Doors, internal databases) into the Certivity platform, with rigorous attention to data correctness and reconciliation.
• Build API connectors and integrations between the Certivity API and customer services and tools.
• Develop customer-specific tools, mostly backend, sometimes lightweight UIs, that solve concrete problems for customer IT, engineering and regulatory teams.
• Be the primary technical contact for our largest customers, answering technical questions from customer IT departments, engineers and regulatory experts directly.
• Contribute back to the core product, including our Customer Platform, Crawling (Python) and full-stack (Java/Spring Boot, React) teams when customer workload allows.
• Use AI coding tools as a core part of your daily delivery to move fast across an intentionally polyglot stack.
• Take end-to-end ownership of customer-facing technical projects and deliver high-quality solutions with measurable impact.
