The OpportunityAs a founding Support / Forward-Deployed Engineer, you'll sit at the intersection of engineering and customers, deploying the product, solving hard technical problems in the field, and making enterprise customers successful. This is a solutions-engineering-heavy role for someone who is both technically excellent and genuinely comfortable in front of people. You'll join an established, professional environment rather than a first-engineer situation, with room to grow toward founder-level ownership.
Responsibilities- Deploy and integrate the product into complex enterprise environments
- Work directly with customers post-sale to ensure technical success
- Solve hard technical problems across AI agents, MCP integrations, and security tooling
- Serve as the technical bridge between customers and the engineering team
- Help shape the forward-deployed / solutions engineering function as an early hire
Requirements- 5-6 years in a technical, customer-facing role (solutions engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or similar); exceptional candidates with a couple of years of experience considered
- Strong computer science or statistics foundation and academic pedigree
- Startup or consulting background with real time in front of customers
- Demonstrated software / technical skills and the ability to operate in a professional, fast-moving environment
- Consistent tenure without a pattern of short stints
