Own end-to-end technical delivery for enterprise client engagements — from initial scoping through integration, testing, and production deployment.
Build production-grade integrations and custom tooling across complex environments
on-prem, air-gapped, and hybrid.
Diagnose and resolve integration issues across diverse enterprise stacks; be the first call when something breaks in a critical engagement.
Feed product and engineering with signal from the field
your patterns become what gets built next.

3–6 years in a Forward Deployed, Solutions Engineering, or technical delivery role
ideally in enterprise security, AI, or complex SaaS.
Strong Python and/or TypeScript; you write production-quality code, not just configuration scripts.
Solid grounding in REST APIs, OAuth2/SAML/SSO, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
you’ve shipped into enterprise environments and know what breaks.
The ability to hold a room with a CISO and a security engineer and be credible in both conversations.
Experience in AI security, LLMs, or agentic AI frameworks in a production context is a significant advantage.

Early stage seniority in a scaling function
the patterns you set now become the delivery standard as the team grows.
Direct influence on the product roadmap
your field observations are the earliest signal engineering gets about what to build next.
Enterprise reach, brand credibility, and a proven sales motion already in market
the infrastructure to win is already in place.
Competitive compensation benchmarked against the scarcity of this profile in the market.
