About the role

We are now looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team in Malmo to lead technical engagements with our most

strategic and complex customers. This is a role for someone who can walk into ambiguous, high-pressure enterprise environments and

design the right solution — not just execute someone else's plan. This is a new role within our Engineering team, and we’re

looking to hire two Senior Forward Deployed Engineers in Malmö and two in the US.

WHAT YOU’LL DO 💭

• Own the technical architecture and delivery strategy for our largest and most complex customer engagements, from discovery

through go-live and expansion

• Act as the senior technical advisor to customer engineering and IT leadership — often CTOs, VPs of Digital, or Heads of Data —

on how Inriver fits into their broader systems landscape

• Design and build complex, high-leverage integrations and workflows on top of Inriver's platform, connecting it to ERP/PLM

systems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics), DAM, and downstream commerce/syndication channels

• Model elastic, enterprise-scale product data structures (categories, attributes, relationships, localization) for customers with

significant catalogue complexity or regulatory requirements

• Lead rapid prototyping efforts to de-risk onboarding, migrations, and pilots for customers with the highest data volume or

complexity

• Write production-quality code - platform enhancements, connectors, extensions, internal tools — while also knowing when to bring

in additional engineering support and how to scope that work

• Mentor and technically guide other Forward Deployed Engineers, reviewing their solution designs and unblocking them on hard

problems

• Serve as a senior technical voice of the customer internally, shaping product and platform roadmap decisions based on patterns

across strategic accounts

• Own escalated production issues, leading real-time debugging efforts alongside customer engineering teams
• Travel to customer sites as needed (expect ~20–40% travel depending on account load)

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a related technical/customer-facing role, including

experience owning complex technical engagements

• Track record of leading technical relationships with enterprise customers — comfortable being the senior voice in the room with

customer executives

• Strong ability to reason about complex data models — attributes, taxonomies, relationships — and how they map to messy,

real-world enterprise catalogues

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate fluidly between deep technical detail and executive-level

strategy

Nice to have:

• Prior experience with a PIM, MDM, DAM, or product data platform
• Deep experience integrating with ERP or PLM systems
• Experience with ecommerce/marketplace syndication at scale
• Familiarity with compliance-heavy product domains
• Prior experience in a senior forward-deployed, solutions architecture, or professional services leadership role at an enterprise

SaaS company

• Experience contributing to pre-sales or solutioning for large enterprise deals

At Inriver, you’ll join a global company with a product at the centre - and people who genuinely care about building something

meaningful together. For this role you will also have ownership of the most technically and strategically important customer

relationships in the company, direct line of influence into product and platform roadmap decisions and a seat at the table with

both customer executives and product leadership.

We’d love to hear from you. If you’re curious but not 100% sure, we still encourage you to apply. We’re happy to explore the fit

together!
