Forward Deployed Engineer

• As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Veo, you’ll work at the intersection of engineering and external partnerships, helping turn integration needs into working solutions at scale
• This role is part of Veo’s API team and combines hands-on engineering with close collaboration across teams and partners
• You’ll report to the Engineering Manager and will be based in our Berlin office, working as part of a small, focused team alongside engineers and a Technical Product Manager
• Besides working on Veo’s API (a core feature) with your team, you will also engage directly with partners to understand their technical needs
• You’ll help shape integration approaches, and deliver solutions that balance speed, quality, and maintainability
• Own the end-to-end technical execution of selected partner integrations as part of Veo’s Public API initiative, from early discovery through delivery and iteration
• Work directly with external partners to understand their technical environments, constraints, and goals, and help design integration approaches that work in practice
• Build production-quality solutions across backend, infrastructure, and occasionally frontend, adapting to the needs of each integration
• Act as a technical counterpart in partner discussions, helping clarify what is possible, what is not, and what trade-offs exist
• Collaborate closely with the Engineering Manager, fellow engineers and a Technical Product Manager to shape scope, priorities, and sequencing of work
• Help deciding when to implement targeted solutions versus when to push work into broader platform capabilities, contributing to those platform improvements where appropriate
• Proactively identify technical risks, gaps, or blockers in partner integrations and work to resolve them
• Feed insights from partner work back into the team, helping inform roadmap discussions, technical direction, and documentation
• Contribute to improving developer-facing documentation, examples, and patterns that support future integrations
• Occasionally travel to work more closely with partners when hands-on collaboration adds value
