The Opportunity
AI is fundamentally changing how enterprises operate. As AI agents take on increasingly complex workflows, enterprise software needs to integrate seamlessly with existing systems. That’s where you come in.
At Lio, we’re building THE AI workforce for procurement. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and enterprise customers, building integrations and turning customer requirements into scalable product capabilities.
What You’ll Do
Build enterprise integrations across APIs, SAP, and other business systems
Design scalable technical solutions directly with enterprise customers
Debug and resolve complex issues in production environments
Own customer-driven features from MVP to production, and turn recurring needs into reusable platform capabilities
Automate deployment and implementation workflows with Product and Engineering
Your Profile
You enjoy solving technical problems across APIs, integrations, and distributed systems
Ownership: you build reliable, scalable solutions, not just things that work
You like working closely with customers and translating their challenges into product improvements
Clear communication across Engineering, Product, and customer teams
You thrive in fast-moving environments where you learn quickly and have direct impact
Excited about bringing AI into enterprise operations
What’s Not Required
No procurement or SAP experience needed. Strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and ownership matter more to us than the perfect CV.
Why Join Lio?
Lio is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and built at Y Combinator. We’re bringing Silicon Valley ambition and engineering culture to Munich.
You’ll work with Fortune 500 companies across Europe and the US, with ownership from day one. What you build won’t stay customer-specific: it shapes the future of our platform.

Food & drinks: catered dinner in the office four days a week, plus a cereal bar, snacks and drinks. Protein fan? We’ve got you covered.

If you’re excited about building AI systems that run in production at global enterprises, we’d love to hear from you.
Lio provides an enterprise procurement AI platform that runs a multi-agent virtual procurement workforce to handle purchase requests end-to-end. It researches vendors, negotiates terms, handles approvals, onboarding, and tracks delivery across ERP and P2P systems, email inboxes, and the open web, with integrations to SAP, Coupa, Ariba, and surfaces like Microsoft Teams. It differentiates itself with cross-system end-to-end automation, a GDPR‑focused hosting and privacy posture, and measurable savings versus traditional outsourcing. Its goal is to speed up procurement, reduce manual work for large buyers, and expand its US presence while continuing product development.
