About Authologic
Authologic is building the identity infrastructure layer for the digital economy. Our orchestration platform enables enterprises to verify users globally through a single API, connecting identity providers, banking systems, eID schemes, and verification services into one seamless experience.
As we scale across financial services, fintech, gaming, telecom, and regulated industries, we are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who can bridge the gap between enterprise customers and our engineering organization.
This is not a traditional software engineering role, nor is it a theoretical consulting position. Inspired by modern, high-velocity tech delivery models like Snowflake, this role requires a unique hybrid of a heavy-hitting backend developer and an enterprise deployment specialist. You will work directly with some of Europe's most sophisticated organizations, helping them design, prototype, implement, and optimize identity and payment workflows that become critical parts of their core business operations.
The Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be the driving execution force behind enterprise customer onboarding and implementation. You are the ultimate bridge connecting deep technology with complex corporate business processes.
You will own the technical delivery of our most strategic enterprise deals — from first architecture conversation through to production go-live. You will work directly with customer engineering teams, compliance stakeholders, and executive sponsors, and you will carry direct influence over Authologic's product roadmap through the feedback you bring back from the field.
What You'll Do
Technical Expertise
This role is fully remote. It requires regular travel to enterprise customer sites across Europe, typically 5-10 days per month. We will tell you exactly what that looks like in the interview process.
What We Offer
I hereby consent to the processing of personal data contained in my application to be processed by Authologic Sp. z o.o. I hereby also give consent for personal data included in my CV to be processed for the purposes of any future recruitment process.

What You'll Do
- Lead Enterprise Implementations & Onboarding.
- Act as the primary technical delivery lead for enterprise customers during onboarding and implementation, taking full ownership of the production go-live.
- Design and oversee integration strategies for complex customer environments, ensuring compatibility with legacy enterprise systems.
- Guide customers from proof-of-concept through production deployment, mapping Authologic’s API directly into their internal business operations and user journeys.
- Support strategic enterprise sales opportunities with high-level technical expertise.
- Develop rapid, production-grade prototypes and proof-of-concepts to unblock complex deals.
- Run hands-on technical workshops with customer engineering teams, including live integration sessions against the Authologic API — you should be comfortable writing working code in a customer environment.
- Participate in executive-level customer meetings where technical credibility and speed are critical to winning business.
- Integrate Authologic into complex customer ecosystems including:
- Identity & authentication platforms (MFA, Strong Customer Authentication);
- Core banking infrastructure and advanced payment systems;
- Fraud, risk, and transaction monitoring engines;
- Mission-critical customer onboarding workflows;
- Design EUDI Wallet and eIDAS 2.0 compliant onboarding and authentication flows, advising customers on regulatory obligations and technical architecture ahead of the December 2026 and 2027 deadlines.
- Act as the voice of enterprise customers internally, bringing raw frontline feedback to our product teams.
- Translate complex corporate edge-cases and customer requirements into structured product feedback.
- Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering teams to shape future platform capabilities, deciding where custom delivery ends and core product features begin.
Technical Expertise
- 8+ years of software engineering, solutions architecture, or hands-on implementation experience.
- Strong backend engineering background with professional experience in Java, Kotlin, Node.js, or similar technologies.
- Deep understanding of APIs, webhooks, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems.
- Practical experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Ability to write clean, efficient integration code live during technical workshops and debugging sessions under pressure.
- Proven track record of working with regulated entities (Banks, Fintechs, Insurance, or Payment Providers).
- Deep understanding of how identity verification impacts broader business processes (onboarding, payment authorization, fraud mitigation).
- Required: hands-on experience with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect and at least one of: Open Banking / bank API integration, payment infrastructure, or regulated onboarding workflows.
- Advantageous: familiarity with eIDAS 2.0, EUDI Wallet, OID4VP / OID4VCI, or European digital identity schemes.
- You can navigate a large enterprise: architecture review boards, IT security teams, procurement, and compliance stakeholders are familiar terrain.
- You shift registers without effort — detailed technical discussion with a developer in the morning, executive summary with a CTO in the afternoon.
- Within your first 90 days: you have taken ownership of at least one active enterprise implementation and are the primary technical contact for that customer.
- Within six months: you have driven at least two enterprise customers from signed contract to production go-live, and you have run at least three pre-sales technical workshops that progressed deals forward.
- Within your first year: you have established repeatable integration blueprints that reduce average time-to-production, and your frontline feedback has directly shaped at least one core product decision.
