The Opportunity

AI is fundamentally changing how enterprises operate. As AI agents take on increasingly complex workflows, enterprise software needs to integrate seamlessly with existing systems. That’s where you come in.

At Lio, we’re building THE AI workforce for procurement. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and enterprise customers, building integrations and turning customer requirements into scalable product capabilities.

What You’ll Do

Build enterprise integrations across APIs, SAP, and other business systems
Design scalable technical solutions directly with enterprise customers
Debug and resolve complex issues in production environments
Own customer-driven features from MVP to production, and turn recurring needs into reusable platform capabilities
Automate deployment and implementation workflows with Product and Engineering

What’s Not Required

You’ll work with Fortune 500 companies across Europe and the US, with ownership from day one. What you build won’t stay customer-specific: it shapes the future of our platform.
