Forward Deployed Engineer

Salary Competitive

About the job

At Tandem, we build bespoke, engaging digital solutions. Intuitive applications built from the ground up, designed around real users, shipped to production, and infused with AI where it matters. The work ranges from idea to rapid MVP, testing real use cases with working prototypes, iterating on user feedback, and automating workflows across client organisations. We work with clients from many segments: FMCG, Healthcare, Retail to name a few and every solution is tailored to a specific problem for a specific client.

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to build these solutions end to end. From the first commit to a product in daily use. You own the build: the architecture, the code, the deployment, and most importantly, the commercial ownership and adoption.


The role

Most of our projects begin as a good puzzle or problem: a manual process eating energy and resources from a team, a data process automation, or a consolidating scattered systems in to something digestible. Your job is to build the answer.

You will spend most of your time building. Not tickets from a backlog, but whole products. You choose the structure, make the trade-offs, and carry your decisions through to production. When you need context, you go get it yourself, because a question asked directly beats a requirement passed down.

The profile we are after is rare. Technically capable to build anything we throw at you. Commercial enough to know why it is worth building

In this role, you will:

  • Architect, build, and ship web applications and data tools across the full stack

  • There is no designer between you and the user. You should have taste and be able to defend it

  • Take an idea to a working prototype within days, and a prototype to a product that lasts

  • Wire up integrations with ERPs, APIs, data platforms, and cloud services

  • Use agentic coding at a high level as a natural part of how you write, test, and ship

  • Automate manual workflows and replace spreadsheet-driven processes with purpose-built tools

  • Set the standard for code quality, documentation, and deployment as the team grows


Technology stack

We are pragmatic about our tools. React and Next.js on the frontend, modern databases, auth, Vercel for deployment, GitHub for version control. Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake and the broader Azure ecosystem on the data side.


What we expect

Someone who ships. You have taken software to production and enjoyed the messy parts of getting there. You are comfortable with agentic coding, or eager to get very good at it fast. You care about how things are built, not only whether they run, and you can explain your choices in plain language. Judgement, curiosity, and a habit of finishing things count for more than years on a CV.


What you should expect

We are a small team by design. We work together from our Copenhagen office, debate solutions openly, and make decisions together. Everyone owns their projects end to end, and your work will be running at real companies within weeks. Some of the perks include:

  • Office on Glentevej 47, 2400 København NV, right next to Nørrebro station

  • Lunch

  • Direct impact on real client solutions

  • Ping pong table and Friday bars

  • Flexible work arrangements

  • An ambitious, team who get a kick out of shipping something on Tuesday that did not exist on Monday.


Start: As soon as possible

Working at
Tandem

At Tandem, we build the foundations that turn questions into answers. Data systems underneath, software and AI on top, so companies can improve how they work. Built around [ you ]. Intended for [ use ]. We serve organizations whose operations depend on systems that were never designed to talk to each other. For teams who need software built for the way they actually work, not the way a standard product assumes they do. For businesses that want technology to remove friction from the daily job rather than add another tool to manage. This is our focus. We bridge technology and business outcomes. Every solution is customized and crafted with the end user in mind. We combine technical expertise with commercial insight and a methodical approach to each engagement. This means close collaboration and investing time to understand both the challenge and the stakeholders involved. We start underneath, where the data lives. Pipelines, integrations, and models that connect the systems a business already runs on. Then we build on top: web applications, internal tools, and AI that does real work rather than demonstrations. The same principle applies at every layer. Sophisticated technology made practical, complex challenges resolved efficiently. No unnecessary complexity, no technical barriers. Operational tools that people reach for because they make the work easier. We founded Tandem after observing too many organizations struggle to extract value from their technology investments. We had seen how the right foundations, properly built, could transform not just strategies but entire ways of working. How software, when correctly implemented and adopted, could accelerate growth rather than create friction. We recognized the need for a different approach, one that balanced technical sophistication with practical application. That conviction guides our work. We are not here to showcase complexity or deliver generic solutions. We are here to partner with organizations in building the systems, software, and intelligence that move their business forward, creating solutions that are as powerful as they are practical.
