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.
