Forward Deployed Engineer BNX
- Location: Ice Cream Company Headquarters
- Time type: Full time
The role
We want to transform how we decide and execute in the Benelux region: price, mix, promotions, assortment, field execution. The data exists. So do the platforms.
What's missing are people who can bridge the two.That's what a Forward Deployed Engineer does: a hybrid profile, deployed on the front line inside business teams, designing, building and shipping concrete solutions – often AI-powered – right next to the people who'll use them.
This role is focused on the demand side: Marketing, R&D&I and Customer Development, where revenue management, pricing and promotion live.
What you'll be responsible for
- Understand before you code. Time in the field with KAMs, RGM, marketing and R&D&I teams. Turning an operational irritant into a solvable problem.
- Qualify before you build. For every request: is this embedded vendor AI, an out-of-the-box agent, low-code, or a genuine custom build? We always default to what we already own.
- Build fast. Agents and copilots, automations, decision dashboards, forecasting models, customer negotiation tools.
- Drive adoption. A solution only exists if it's used. You train, you iterate on feedback, you industrialise what works.
- Build it properly. Every solution goes through our AI Assurance process before it goes live, and you own that. This isn't admin: it's what lets you ship fast, in the open, with enterprise backing.
- Leave something behind. Each year you contribute reusable patterns to the enterprise library. France is Europe's proving ground.
We're looking for someone who
- Real technical ability, paired with business instinct that's rare at this level of experience.
- Comfort being the only technical person in a room full of commercial stakeholders.
- A bias towards shipping: something usable today beats a perfect specification in three months.
- Instinct for agentic design – knowing when an agent is the right answer, and when it isn't.
- Demonstrable experience building agentic solutions, on any modern stack. For example: Custom GPTs and the OpenAI stack, Claude and Claude Code, Copilot and Copilot Cowork. Orchestration and automation: n8n, Zapier, LangChain or equivalent. Vibe-coding tools: Cursor, Replit, Lovable.
- Higher education – engineering school, university, quantitative business school – or a demonstrable self-taught path.
- Python and/or SQL, data manipulation, visualisation, API integration.
- Genuine business curiosity: you want to understand why a promotion works, why a mix deteriorates.
- The ability to explain simply, from the field to the leadership team.
- Fluent in English
- A desire to be in the field. This role doesn't happen behind a screen.
