Join BLP Digital — The #1 Solution for ERP Automation

BLP Digital is redefining ERP automation with agentic AI. Spun out of ETH Zurich and HSG, we build AI agents that automate finance, procurement, logistics, sales, and more for some of the world's largest enterprises. We solve real enterprise problems with cutting-edge technology and a strong sense of ownership.

Our solution is live in 40+ countries, used by 550+ customers, and automates 70,000+ processes every day, including for Fortune 500 companies. As one of Switzerland's fastest-growing SaaS scaleups, our success stems from deep expertise in technology and business processes, delivering a product with outstanding product-market fit, proven by a growing global customer base.

We've recently welcomed Goldman Sachs Alternatives as a growth investor, and we're now expanding into the UK with the launch of our London office. We are just getting started. Ready to build the future? Join BLP Digital today.

About the position

We're looking for the top 1% - engineers who treat their craft like athletes treat performance, and who want to work alongside people who do the same. The world has changed dramatically in the last quarter. What used to take a team of consultants six months now takes a sharp engineer a few days. The momentum is unreal, and we're growing into it fast.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you're embedded directly in our customers' environments, taking a messy enterprise problem from first conversation to a working production system in days - not quarters. You work as part of a small senior team - alongside a Senior Consultant and other FDEs - and you own the technical solution end-to-end: architecture, integrations, agent and workflow logic, frontend where needed, evals, deployment. The work starts and ends with the customer, not the codebase. Feedback cycles are measured in hours, the bar is high, and the people you ship with will push you to raise it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Sit with end-users, process owners, and client engineers to understand the real workflow - and the real problem underneath the stated one

  • Translate the target-state process into a concrete technical solution: architecture, data model, integrations, agent and workflow design - and ship it in days and weeks, not quarters

  • Build full-stack: TypeScript backend, integrations, LLM orchestration, evals

  • Demo early and often. Put working software in front of real users and fold their feedback into the next iteration

  • Make speed / quality / cost trade-offs in real time. Choose build vs. buy vs. configure existing platform capability

  • Own observability and evals once live. Iterate until the system is reliable in the customer's real conditions

  • Earn trust with the client's own engineering and security teams - API access, data flows, deployment, reviews

  • Bring patterns back - reusable components, prompt structures, integration approaches - so the next engagement ships faster

Requirements

  • Builder background with real shipping experience - you've taken systems from zero to production and kept them running

  • Fluent with modern AI tooling: LLM APIs, tool and function calling, agent frameworks, evals, prompt engineering as a real discipline

  • Strong with TypeScript on the backend. Comfortable with APIs, auth, queues, and integrating with legacy systems

  • Daily, fluent use of Claude Code, Cursor, or similar - expected to ship meaningfully faster than a traditional engineer because of them

  • Customer-facing instinct - you genuinely enjoy being in the room with users, asking sharp questions, and pushing back respectfully when needed

  • You move fast, communicate clearly, and operate well with ambiguity. Comfortable being dropped into an unfamiliar domain and coming back with a working prototype

  • Fluency in English. German is a plus

  • MUST: experience automating business processes in the ERP space (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar), or prior background in consulting, solutions engineering, or founding/building products end-to-end

Benefits

  • Solve real problems, fast. Join a high-growth deep-tech startup tackling real-world challenges for global industry leaders.

  • Work at the frontier. We use and build with state-of-the-art tech - the latest LLMs, agent frameworks, and AI coding tools, with the budget and mandate to keep up as the field moves.

  • Build with the best tools. No legacy stack to drag around.

  • Big responsibility, fast. You own customer engagements end-to-end from day one - architecture, build, delivery, and the relationship.

  • Opportunities to grow. You're controlling your personal development and career trajectory in a rapidly growing, internationally expanding startup.

  • Exceptional colleagues. You'll be growing alongside individuals from exceptional academic backgrounds and careers.
