We Are Looking for a Forward Deployed Automation Engineer to join us

As a Forward Deployed Automation Engineer at Teamleader, you will:

  • Co‑build in our AI Labs: turn team‑identified use cases into working automations (Claude skills & MCP, APIs, scripts, webhooks, internal apps).

  • Own the last mile that blocks teams today: auth & permissions, token management, MCP/connector set‑up, hosting and scheduling — so automations run reliably without you babysitting them.

  • Solve patterns, not tickets: recurring blockers become reusable, documented building blocks on our shared AI platform (MCP gateway, agent hosting, context layer).

  • Tie every automation to the team's success metric: each build ships with an owner, a usage/adoption measure, and a cost dimension.

  • Leave teams self‑sufficient: document, hand over, and teach the team to run and adapt what you built together. We are an internal partner, not a solution factory.

Why others chose Teamleader: we're lively, not corporate

We have the energy and boldness of a start‑up and the expertise and pragmatism of a scale‑up. The result: a team of both young and seasoned professionals led by supportive and approachable managers who give recognition and rewards for hard work. You’ll be working in a fast‑paced tech environment with open feedback culture and room for initiatives as well as ideas. You’ll have plenty …

On top of that, you’ll get:

  • An extensive training budget.

  • A hybrid working model: a pleasant mix of office and home working.

  • A personal tooling budget, to make working from home as comfortable as from our offices.

  • Daily budget‑friendly in‑house prepared lunch and dinner options (only in our Ghent office), as well as Friyays and numerous sport initiatives

  • 32 holidays on top of the standard public ones (based on full‑time employment).

  • Our long‑lasting dedication to employee well‑being, just take a look at our career page and Instagram to see how we keep the Team(leader) spirit going.

We value diversity

Our ambition is to build and sell a product that helps everyone everywhere (starting with Europe) to work smarter, so we want our team to reflect that. We believe that a diverse, inclusive working environment is crucial to realise that ambition, so we’re committed to continue to build and cherish a culture where every colleague feels welcome, appreciated and heard.


You’d be a great fit for this role if you:

  • Have real hands‑on experience with AI

  • Are a builder-generalist: experienced working with APIs, scripting (Python/JS/Apps Script), auth flows, lightweight front‑end development, databases, SQL, LLM tooling.

  • Think Process‑first: you start from the team's workflow, pain and target goal, not your favorite tool.

  • Make decisions and move forward on your own, without waiting for sign‑off on every step.Explain what you’re building to non‑technical colleagues, without jargon.Can switch context‑without issues: five brands, many teams. This means holding multiple products and workflows in your head at once.

  • Catch how what you build connects to the wider system and the small details that could break it Spea
