Forward Deployed Software Engineer

We celebrate diversity and encourage individuals of all genders (m/f/d) to apply. We are looking for a Forward Deployed Software Engineer to help us solve complex workflow problems directly at the edge of our business: where product, engineering, commercial teams and customers meet. This isn't classic product engineering, nor pure implementation. You'll work alongside our Commercial teams and customers to find operational bottlenecks, then build pragmatic, high-quality software end to end: AI-powered workflows, internal tools, customer-specific automations, data migrations, dashboards and integrations that strip manual work out of onboarding and customer success. Your role competency will sit in Engineering: we care deeply about technical quality, maintainability, security and ownership. Your business accountability will sit close to Commercial: your success will be measured by how much you unblock customers, reduce manual work and help Nelly scale faster. About Nelly We are building the AI-Driven Financial Operating System for European healthcare, solving the biggest challenges for patients and practices. We create what no bank or software platform can handle. Our all-in-one platform transforms chaotic administrative processes into intelligent, automated workflows, from patient care to billing to next-generation payments. Because we truly believe: healthcare should be less about paperwork and more about people. Why? Because Europe is facing a massive shortage of medical professionals. And if we don't rethink the way practices work, the system won't be able to keep up. With our Series B funding of over €50 million from world-class investors, we are turning our vision into reality. What to expect: We work with the best team, which is why we give everything together every day. We believe in Talent Density, because exceptional people make everyone around them better. At Nelly, we move fast and expect everyone to keep up. Stagnation isn’t an option, which is why we invest heavily in growth. AI isn't a nice-to-have at Nelly. We expect you to use it every day and give you everything you need to do so. You get trust and ownership and we expect you to speak up, even when it's uncomfortable.
