Forward Deployed Engineer

Bridge the gap between vision and reality. At Akeneo, we don't just build software; we solve the most complex product data orchestration challenges for global enterprises. As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you are the technical heartbeat of our most strategic customer engagements. You aren't tucked away behind a backlog—you are on the front lines, embedded with clients, and empowered to build the technical bridges that turn high-level strategy into high-performance reality. This is a unique hybrid role designed for the 'Product-Minded Engineer.' Part software architect, part strategic consultant, and part rapid-prototyper, you thrive in the 'gray area' where standard configurations end and innovation begins. You will lead technical workshops with C-suite stakeholders in the morning, and spend the afternoon writing the custom 'glue code' or integration logic that unblocks a multi-million dollar deployment. Why this role is different: Real-World Impact: You won't just ship code to a staging environment; you’ll see your solutions transform how global brands manage and move their data in real-time. Architectural Sovereignty: You have the autonomy to design bespoke integration patterns and influence the core product roadmap by acting as the 'Voice of the Field' for our R&D teams. The Best of Both Worlds: You enjoy the deep technical challenge of a Senior Engineer with the strategic influence and variety of a High-Level Consultant. If you are a builder who loves high-stakes problem solving, hates the phrase 'that’s not possible,' and wants to be the technical 'North Star' for our most ambitious partners, we want to meet you.
