Job Description
ABOUT MAFER
Mafer is building the AI infrastructure through which consumer products will be researched, formulated and brought to market.
We work with R&D teams across food, fragrances, cosmetics, personal care and specialty chemicals, turning fragmented scientific data into systems that accelerate formulation, analysis and regulatory work.
THE ROLE
Forward Deployed Engineers are how Mafer reaches production.
You will work directly with scientists, formulators and regulatory teams, often inside their laboratories and factories. You will understand how they work, connect data from instruments, spreadsheets and existing systems, and build the applications they will use every day.
You will own deployments end to end: technical discovery, data ingestion, integrations, product configuration, testing and adoption.
The role sits between the customer’s problem and Mafer’s core platform. Every deployment should solve an immediate bottleneck while creating reusable technology that makes the next deployment faster.

- Travel to customer sites when a deployment requires it.
