About the role

The opportunity
LLMs are changing how analytical work gets done. Tasks that once required teams of data engineers can now be solved faster and more flexibly, if the underlying data and workflows are set up correctly.
Zeit AI builds ZeitMind, the agent framework for business intelligence. We work with real companies and real data: exports from ERP systems, CRM data, spreadsheets, internal databases. Our goal is that non-technical operators answer questions and run workflows using natural language that used to require external support or a lot of manual work.
As a Forward-Deployed Engineer, you make this happen with the customer. You connect data and solve concrete business problems with our product. You are a technical problem solver, the customer's trusted partner, and you feed everything you learn back into the product.

What you will do
sit with customers across different industries and understand how they operate today and where ZeitMind can unlock business value

solve real-world problems where value is hidden inside of data

model business logic in ZeitMind and get it running in production

own customers end2end and build data applications to make critical business decisions

feed what you learn back into the product

You will thrive here if you
are comfortable and enjoy working directly with customers from Day 1

think in applications and operational systems instead of dashboards or algorithms

care whether something works in production and delivers value to end users

are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy figuring out what the right solution is

bring a solid technical foundation to work with large data sets and critically understand SQL logic

studied at the intersection of business and computer science, such as business analytics, IT systems engineering or information systems

speak English C1 or above; German is a big plus (much of our customer base runs in German)

What we offer
We are based in Munich and build the team around in-person work. We support your relocation within Europe.

Regular San Francisco offsites for product sprints and staying close to the frontier.

Zeit AI package: daily lunch allowance, free in-office dinner, wellpass membership, best tech & tools
