What you'll do

  • Own the technical side of enterprise onboardings end to end, from the first architecture conversation to a stable broad rollout.
  • Design and deliver identity and authentication (OIDC, Entra ID, Frontline Identity), SCIM provisioning, REST APIs and connections to HR and operational systems.
  • Guide and enable customer IT, their partners and external development partners toward a solution that can run without you.
  • Build a first version where building is the fastest path, then hand it over cleanly with documentation and handover meetings.
  • Shape how agents, tool access via MCP and agent-to-agent scenarios land in real enterprise environments, including auth and data boundaries.
  • Align requirements with project management, IT, security, business units and works councils, decide technical questions and feed gaps back to product and engineering.
  • Travel regularly to customers, roughly 10 to 30 percent of your time.

What we're looking for

  • Around 3 to 5 years or more in IT or tech consulting, customer engineering, forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering or SaaS implementation, with real enterprise experience.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise integration and identity: SSO and authentication (OIDC, OAuth, Entra ID or similar) and REST APIs delivered in real enterprise IT landscapes.
  • Technical responsibility at the customer in enterprise projects, making technical decisions together with IT, security and business units rather than only coordinating.
  • Real technical depth without writing product code full time: reading code, reviewing a design, debugging an integration and building a working prototype.
  • German at C1 level or higher and fluent English.

Nice to have

  • Experience with SCIM provisioning and connections to HR or workforce systems such as SAP SuccessFactors, Workday or UKG.
  • A well-founded, current view of where agentic AI is heading: MCP, A2A, EMA and the authentication questions underneath.
  • Prior experience as a Customer Engineer or Forward Deployed Engineer at a product company rather than only in classic consulting.
  • Workflow automation tools (n8n or similar), routine with logs, metrics and dashboards, or experience with co-determination and data protection in enterprise settings.

Benefits

Remote-first working with flexibility to work from home, plus occasional team events, workshops or meetings in the Berlin or Stuttgart offices.

  • Flip covers the cost of an E-Gym Wellpass membership and offers Job-Rad leasing.
  • Highly motivated and engaged people in a relaxed working atmosphere.
  • Actively shape Flip AI and grow with the rapid growth process of a young tech company.
  • Regular team events and Culture Days.
  • You can also work from elsewhere in Europe; workation can be discussed in the interview.
