About this job

<br><strong>Deine Aufgaben</strong><p><p style="margin-bottom:5pt;">Forward-Deployed Engineers are how Rocket gets into production. You take the platform to a hotel group and make it work in their environment: their PMS configuration, their data model, their sales process, their edge cases.</p><p style="margin-bottom:5pt;">This is the highest-signal role in the company. You sit between engineering, product, and the customer — configuring integrations and mapping data one day, standing in a hotel’s sales office untangling a live workflow the next. If you’ve admired the FDE model at Palantir: that’s the job, applied to hospitality. You don’t need to be a software engineer — you need deep technical understanding, structured problem-solving, and the presence to own a deployment in front of a customer.</p><strong><br></strong><ul><li><strong>Deployments, end-to-end.</strong> You own the technical success of each customer rollout — from initial system integration through go-live to steady production usage. You run multiple deployments in parallel, remote and on-site across the DACH/EU region, and later the US.</li><li><strong>Enterprise integrations.</strong> Configure and validate Rocket’s connections to PMS, CRM, and enterprise systems: API setup, webhooks, data synchronization, and customer-specific data mapping. Where no clean API exists, you coordinate with our engineering team on RPA and workaround solutions — you own the outcome, engineering owns the code.</li><li><strong>Production problem-solving.</strong> When something breaks at a customer, you’re the one who fixes it — debugging across our stack and theirs, communicating clearly with hotel operators and IT teams alike, and turning every incident into an engineering requirement so it doesn’t happen twice.</li><li><strong>Product feedback loop.</strong> You see how Rocket is actually used before anyone else does. You bring structured field insight back to Product and Engineering and directly shape the roadmap.</li></ul><strong>What success looks like:</strong><ul><li><strong>3 months:</strong> First deployment shipped to production independently; you know our integration stack cold.</li><li><strong>12 months:</strong> You run several customer accounts end-to-end, your deployment playbook is the company standard, and customers ask for you by name.</li></ul></p><br><strong>Dein Profil</strong><p><ul><li>3–6+ years in solutions engineering, technical consulting, integration/implementation roles, or software engineering</li><li>Degree in Wirtschaftsinformatik, computer science, engineering — or equivalent proven technical depth from practice</li><li>Strong understanding of APIs, data flows, and system integration; able to read logs, test endpoints, and configure connections (scripting ability in Python/SQL is a plus, not a requirement)</li><li>Structured troubleshooting instinct: you can isolate whether a problem sits in our system, the customer’s system, or the data in between</li><li>Experience working directly with customers or external stakeholders — and enjoying it</li><li>Clear communicator with technical and non-technical audiences, from hotel sales teams to IT departments</li><li>Strong English (B2–C1); [German requirement — confirm]</li><li>Willingness to travel and a valid Schengen visa (or eligibility to obtain one)</li></ul><p style="margin-top:7pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:4pt;margin-left:0cm;"><strong>Nice to have, not required:</strong></p><ul><li>Hospitality tech background: PMS, CRM, booking, or revenue management systems — or operational hotel experience with strong technical affinity</li><li>Enterprise integration experience (Oracle OPERA Cloud, SIHOT, Salesforce)</li><li>Prior forward-deployed / solutions / implementation consulting roles</li><li>Hands-on scripting ability (Python, SQL) or heavy use of AI coding tools</li><li>Exposure to LLM-based systems, agentic workflows, or RPA</li></ul></p><br><strong>Warum wir?</strong><p><span style="font-size:14px;">Wir sind das Technologieunternehmen, das den Gruppen- und Veranstaltungsverkauf in der Hotellerie neu denkt. Was heute über Posteingang, Excel und Telefon läuft, macht unsere Plattform Rocket zu einem durchgängigen, KI-gestützten Prozess — von der ersten Anfrage bis zum unterschriebenen Vertrag. Europäische Hotelgruppen führen ihren Gruppenverkauf bereits darüber.<br>Das bedeutet für dich: Du arbeitest nicht trotz KI, sondern mit ihr. Wer bei uns anfängt, gibt Feedback, das in Produktentscheidungen einfließt — und versteht irgendwann, warum ein Prompt besser funktioniert als ein anderer.<br>Und weil wir schnell wachsen, ist vieles bei uns noch im Entstehen. Manche Antwort lautet ehrlicherweise „das bauen wir gerade noch”. Genau darin liegt die Chance: Du triffst auf Freiräume statt auf fertige Strukturen, und was du hier aufbaust, trägt deine Handschrift.<br><br></span><span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Was wir bieten</span><ul><li style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Arbeit mit echter KI-Technologie</strong> auf internationalem Niveau — nicht als Pilotprojekt, sondern als Geschäftsmodell.</li><li style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Echter Gestaltungsspielraum.</strong> Deine Ideen landen nicht in einem Ideenbriefkasten, sondern in der nächsten Iteration.</li><li style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Kurze Wege zur Geschäftsführung.</strong> Entscheidungen fallen in Tagen, nicht in Gremienschleifen.</li><li style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Wachstum, das du mitgehst.</strong> Wir bauen gerade die nächste Unternehmensphase — mit Rollen, Verantwortung und Perspektiven, die es vor einem Jahr noch nicht gab.</li><li style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><strong>Hauptarbeitsort Leipzig</strong> mit regelmäßiger Büropräsenz und flexiblem Homeoffice-Anteil.
