Forward Deployed Engineer

Job Description

We are building the world's decision infrastructure: the strategic twin of every industrial organization. Our customers map reality, with its levers and constraints, into a model, and we run large-scale combinatorial optimization over the critical decisions in their value chain. We help Europe stay strong and the German Mittelstand make good decisions between market shifts, orders, machines and people.

Founded by Dana (CEO) and Erik (CTO) from RWTH research, backed by a €2.8M round led by Vorwerk Ventures, with customers live on our optimization models.

Hi, I'm Erik, CTO of Circonomit. This ad is specific on purpose: you should be able to tell from it whether this is your job.

Most optimization software fails in the same place. Not in the solver, but in the gap between what a company actually does and what the model assumes. Somebody has to sit with the people who plan today, understand how they really decide, and turn that into something a machine can compute.

That is this role, and you do it hands on. You take the customer's planning problem apart, you build the model yourself, in code, on their data, and you stay with it until their management trusts the result enough to act on it. Then you bring back the part that should stop being project work and become product.

Most of this happens at your desk in Cologne, with days at the customer's site when the decisive conversations happen. You are the shortest path between our product and reality. What does not survive at a customer does not work. xmdgtar

We will not sugarcoat it: the data arrives messy, the first model is rarely the right one, and some weeks a customer deadline sets the priority.
