Forward Deployed Engineer (fmd)

We 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!

Valova only works as well as it fits into the hospital. Our product creates the most value when its deeply connected to a hospitals systems and built around how coders and medical controlling actually work. Today connecting to a hospital information system can take months. Thats time hospitals keep losing revenue and coders keep working by hand.

Thats 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. Youre 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. Its not a support desk not a pre-sales role and not project management where others do the building. And its not a desk job: youll regularly be on site in hospitals

You 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 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.

• Bring hospitals live: You take hospitals from sandbox to production deploy Valova on hospital VMs and connect it to KIS systems such as SAP 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 hospitals trust: You answer technical questions in security and data protection reviews (BSI C5 GDPR).

• Engineering experience: At least two years in software engineering and youre comfortable with Linux Docker and basic networking.

• Integration know-how: Youve 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: Youre 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 youre the right person for this role Apply anyway. Were looking forward to meeting you!

• Work that means something every day. Your agents are the core of our product and directly help improve the German healthcare system.

• Ownership from week one. You take over real projects with a clear outcome and your name on it not a list of tasks someone else defined.

• Direct access to the founders. You work day to day with our founders Sophia a physician and ex-McKinsey consultant and Christian who has founded two health tech startups and spent a decade building clinical systems. No layers no waiting weeks for approvals.

• Trust and freedom. We trust you to solve problems your way and the team has your back 100%.

• Learning at startup speed. You will see more in one year here than in three years elsewhere across models infrastructure product and customers with a team that has a proven track record of deploying AI in healthcare.

• One team in the heart of the city. We work together on-site at WeWork Odeonsplatz in Munich and WeWork in central Berlin. Fully serviced offices with coffee meeting rooms and phone booths mean zero admin and the city-center location means short commutes easy access to customers and investors and lunch spots around every corner.

• Team events that bring Munich and Berlin together because the people you build with should also be the people you celebrate with.

• After 3 months you know Valovas stack inside out and have taken a hospital through its first technical setup together with our team.

• After 6 months youve taken at least two hospitals live and a new KIS connection takes weeks instead of months.

• After 12 months our deployments are largely repeatable: connectors scripts and monitoring you built make every go-live faster.

• Throughout what you learn in hospitals shapes our roadmap and hospital IT teams see you as their trusted contact at Valova.
