About the Role
Murphy is building the AI platform that powers debt collection for some of the world's leading banks, telcos, and utilities.
We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer based in Barcelona who will play a key role in building and deploying Murphy in Brazil.
You'll sit within our Barcelona team, working closely with Product, Engineering, Deployment, and Revenue, while spending significant time working directly with our customers and prospects in Brazil. This means regular travel to Brazil to run discovery sessions, support deployments, solve complex customer problems, and build strong relationships with the teams using Murphy.
You'll operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. You'll understand how a customer's business works, translate complex requirements into technical solutions, build and configure those solutions, and make sure Murphy delivers measurable value in production.
This is a highly autonomous role. You'll be expected to get close to the customer, figure out what needs to be done, and make it happen.
Responsibilities
- Deliver technically robust client configurations
- Ensure every deployment is technically correct, properly scoped, and aligned with agreed requirements before going live.
- Own configuration quality end-to-end — no silent workarounds, no fragile setups.
- Optimize agent performance through structured iteration
- Continuously analyze performance metrics and improve voice agent and communication flows.
- Use data to identify patterns, diagnose issues, and implement measurable improvements.
- Act as the technical counterpart to clients
- Participate in client meetings as the product and systems expert.
- Clearly explain architecture, constraints, trade-offs, and product capabilities.
- Set expectations without overpromising.
- Provide structured product feedback
- Identify when challenges stem from configuration vs. product gaps.
- Raise structured product requests with clear context, impact, and proposed direction.
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering to improve the platform.
- Design scalable, reusable solutions
- Ensure configurations are maintainable and scalable across clients.
- Avoid one-off solutions that create downstream technical debt.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
- Native Portuguese speaker with fluent English.
- Based in Barcelona and comfortable with international travel, particularly to Brazil.
- Background in Data Science or Data Analysis.
- Strong technical foundations and the ability to write and understand production-quality code.
- Comfortable working directly with customers and translating business requirements into technical solutions.
- Deep product and systems understanding: Ability to reason end-to-end about data flows, architecture, dependencies, and system behavior. You think structurally, not reactively.
- Analytical and performance-driven thinking: Comfortable working with KPIs, performance metrics, and iteration cycles. Uses data to guide improvements, not intuition alone.
- Extreme ownership of configuration quality: Holds a high bar for technical correctness and long-term maintainability. Takes responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.
