Ready to build the future of debt collection?
Murphy AI is a next-generation debt collection platform powered by artificial intelligence, designed to optimize recovery rates while maintaining respectful and personalized communication. Our advanced automation streamlines the process of collecting overdue invoices for businesses, providing a seamless and effective solution.
At Murphy AI, we’re tackling one of the toughest challenges in fintech: making debt recovery more efficient, autonomous and scalable. Our AI-powered agents adapt instantly, engaging with debtors across channels like voice, email and sms to maximize results while preserving trust. By combining advanced artificial intelligence with powerful automation, we’re setting a new standard for how businesses recover payments.
As a fast-growing startup that has already made an impact within less than a year in the market, we are building a talented team to scale our operations and drive our vision forward 🌟
💼 About the Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will own the technical work required to integrate our platform into customer environments. During PoCs and early rollouts, you will gather requirements from real customer systems, validate feasibility, and deliver working implementations quickly. You will build custom integrations when needed and ship targeted features that unblock adoption.
You will operate at the intersection of customers, product, and engineering, turning recurring integration needs into reusable platform capabilities so each new deployment becomes faster and more standardized.
📝 What you will do
Translate deployment requirements into production-ready integrations, features, and automation.
Partner with the Engagement team to understand customer environments (systems, data, security, workflows).
Build and maintain integrations with third-party tools (CRMs, ERPs, SaaS platforms) and internal systems.
Ship customer-impacting product extensions (onboarding flows, dashboards, reports, automations) with a path to reusability.
Own technical deployments end to end: scoping, implementation, configuration, testing, rollout, and iteration.
Turn repeated deployment patterns into reusable platform capabilities, templates, and best practices.
Build internal tools that improve reliability and reduce manual work across onboarding and operations.
📚 What we are looking for
At least 3 years of experience building and shipping fullstack software in production.
Solid backend skills and experience working with scalable systems.
Comfortable working with unclear requirements and changing priorities.
Strong ownership mindset and ability to work independently.
Clear communication skills and comfort working with both technical and non-technical people.
Curiosity and motivation to deeply understand customer problems.
💡 Nice to have
Previous experience in customer-facing engineering roles like Forward Deployed Engineer or Solutions Engineer.
Experience working with enterprise customers.
Experience with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure, and production systems.
Startup experience or work on AI-driven products.

About Murphy AI
Founded in 2024 in Barcelona by Borja and Marc, Murphy AI was born to address a pressing real-world problem: recovering payments from defaulting clients. The idea stemmed from Borja's firsthand experience as a CFO struggling with inefficient debt collection processes in his previous ventures. Partnering with Marc, a passionate CTO eager to bring his own product vision to life, the duo set out on a mission. From the start, they shared an unwavering obsession: to solve a real problem and redefine how businesses recover unpaid debts.
