Forward Deployed Software Engineer

Liberis, London +1

The role

As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer at Liberis, you'll work directly with partners to understand their technical challenges and help them adopt and integrate our product. You'll take problems from an ambiguous brief to a working solution, combining hands-on engineering with technical consultation and partner relationship building.

This is a backend-heavy, full-stack engineering role. You'll work directly with partner engineers, contribute code where it unblocks delivery, and work with Product and Engineering to keep integrations reliable and supportable, so partners reach production faster without avoidable bespoke work or operational debt.

Pay and benefits

Work with partners to understand their needs, define technical problems and build solutions that help them adopt Liberis's product.
Own delivery from an initial, open-ended problem through to a working integration or solution.
Write code and work across different languages and technology stacks, adapting to each partner's environment.
Use AI coding tools as part of your engineering workflow, applying your own judgement to their output and limitations.
Build lasting technical relationships with partners, communicating clearly with engineers and senior business stakeholders.
Handle difficult technical conversations, including explaining incidents and their impact with clarity and sound reasoning.
Collaborate with product, engineering and delivery leaders across Liberis
