Forward Deployed Engineer (f/m/d)

About ValovaWe are building the AI operations platform for European hospitals, so every clinician can focus on patients. Behind every patient sits a chain of admin work: documentation, coding, billing, audits, scheduling. It runs through disconnected systems and endless manual hand-offs, while most German hospitals already operate at a loss. We start where the impact is measurable from day one: case to cash. Valova codes every case, defends it in audits and makes sure the money lands. From there we take on every workflow that runs a hospital, until one agentic system handles the routine and people decide the exceptions. First Germany, then Europe. Doctors, engineers and operators, on-site in Munich and Berlin. Join us! Why this role mattersValova only works as well as it fits into the hospital. Our product creates the most value when it’s deeply connected to a hospital’s systems and built around how coders and medical controlling actually work. Today, connecting to a hospital information system can take months. That’s time hospitals keep losing revenue and coders keep working by hand. That’s where you come in. As Forward Deployed Engineer, you own technical go-lives from start to finish: from the first sandbox to production, from the interface to the workflow on the ward. You’re the bridge between hospital IT, the people who use Valova and our engineering team. Your impact is easy to see: in hospitals that go live faster, in integrations that run reliably, and in a product that gets better with every deployment because you bring back what you learn. This is a hands-on engineering role with real code in production and direct influence on our roadmap. It’s not a support desk, not a pre-sales role and not project management where others do the building. And it’s not a desk job: you’ll regularly be on site in hospitals How the role sits in the teamYou report directly to Christian, our CTO, and work day to day with our engineering team on connectors, deployments and internal tooling. With Malte and our product team, you turn what you see in hospitals into clear requirements. In hospital projects, you work hand in hand with our customer success and sales team and on the hospital side with IT leads, KIS vendors, coders and medical controlling. What you will doBring hospitals live: You take hospitals from sandbox to production, deploy Valova on hospital VMs and connect it to KIS systems such as SAP i.s.h.med, Orbis or Dedalus. Build the connections: You build and maintain interfaces (HL7, FHIR, archive and document exports) together with hospital IT and their partners. Set up Valova for each customer: You configure document types, case filtering, department rules and coding workflows. Learn from the ward: You work on site with coders and medical controlling and turn their friction into clear product requirements. Make deployments repeatable: You write the code that makes the next go-live faster: connectors, scripts, monitoring and internal tooling. Earn the hospital’s trust: You answer technical questions in security and data protection reviews (BSI C5, GDPR). What we are looking for:Engineering experience: At least two years in software engineering, and you’re comfortable with Linux, Docker and basic networking. Integration know-how: You’ve worked on system integrations. Experience with HL7/FHIR or SAP environments is a big plus. Customer focus: You enjoy working with customers and explain technical topics clearly to IT leads and coders alike. High ownership: You move things forward, even when three parties are involved. Travel: You’re happy to spend around 30 percent of your time at hospitals across Germany. Languages: You speak fluent German and English, since our customers work in German. Location: You work from our office in Munich or Berlin. Missing one or two points, but convinced you’re the right person for this role? Apply anyway. We’re looking forward to meeting you!
