We are looking for a Head of Forward Deployed Engineering to lead the team that turns our platform into live production systems inside the largest enterprises. You will own a team of 10+ FDEs (and growing), the delivery bar they are held to, and the outcomes they ship.
This is a player-coach role. You set the standard, build the system that enforces it, and stay close enough to the work to review a flow design and call out what's wrong.
What You'll Do
Own delivery outcomes. On-time go-lives, production stability and client satisfaction all land on your desk. You manage by data: delivery metrics, quality signals, escalation rates and client feedback.
Raise the bar. Run a clear performance system with a defined FDE bar, 30-60-90 ramps for new hires, and honest evaluations. Coach the people who can grow. Make the hard calls on those who can't.
Run the operating rhythm. Own the flow review forum, the deployment status cadence, and the on-site schedule across clients.
Grow the team. Own the hiring pipe, from sourcing through a practical interview loop to onboarding that gets new FDEs to independent delivery in 90 days.
Stay in the field. Show up at key clients, especially around go-lives. Your credibility comes from being in the room, not above it.

Forward Deployed Engineering sits at the frontier of that work. We embed with our most strategic enterprise customers, running on-prem, air-gapped, and heavily regulated environments, and own the technical arc from discovery through production.

Your day might include designing a solution architecture for a high-impact agentic use case, debugging a production routing issue deep in our codebase, deploying a new MCP server with a customer team, or aligning with a CTO on a rollout plan; all in service of outstanding outcomes and rapid time to value for the organizations we work with.

This is a founding function. The first FDEs will define how we conducts field engineering: the standards, playbooks, and technical bar. The work is hands-on, commercially scoped, and high-leverage: youll partner closely with Product, Research, Platform, Security, and GTM, and what you learn in production directly shapes what the core team ships next. If you thrive under ambiguity, make fast and sound decisions when the stakes are high, and get energy from closing the gap between what customers hit in production and what we build next, this role is for you.

In This Role You Will
Own technical delivery across multiple deployments from first prototype to stable production, including core engineering work that unblocks strategic accounts.
Lead deep technical diagnosis and remediation in our codebase and production environments, model routing and gateway behavior, large-PR scaling, multi-pass behavior, performance and reliability issues.
Build customer-specific extensions (MCP servers, agent skills, platform integrations) that deliver immediate value and become durable product capability; upstream them into the main roadmap where appropriate.
Embed closely with customer engineering teams: serve as their senior technical counterpart for hands-on debugging, architecture reviews, and joint implementation.
Scope work, sequence delivery, and remove blockers early; make deliberate trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality to protect delivery timelines.
Partner with Product, Research, and Platform to convert account learnings and eval-driven feedback into roadmap items, specs, and prioritized engineering work.
Codify working patterns into tools, playbooks, runbooks, and reproducible benchmarks that Support and account teams can operate independently and help scale the field engineering function across the organization.

Security teams are not short on tools. They are short on time, alignment, and the ability to actually close exposure. That's why most breaches could have been prevented with a tool that was already in use.
our company was built to change that.
We are the first Agentic Exposure Ops Platform, designed to prevent the preventable breach by turning fragmented signals into coordinated action. Our agents investigate risk, drive remediation, and verify that issues stay closed, continuously, without adding overhead.
we are helping organizations move from reactive workflows to continuous execution, replacing manual effort with systems that actually move the work forward.
At our company, engineering isn't a service function it's where product happens. We're looking for a Fullstack (Product) Engineer who lives at the intersection of craft and product sense:You care as much about why we're building something as how it feels in the user's hands. You're an engineer who connects naturally with other engineers, and who enjoys mentoring and ramping up the people around you.
You'll own experiences end-to-end from the first PRD conversation to the KPI dashboard weeks after ship. You'll shape our component library, raise the bar on our frontend infra, and help define what "good" looks like across the R&D org. This isn't a role where you get handed pixel-perfect mocks and a closed ticket. You'll have opinions, and we'll want to hear them.
What you'll do
Craft the experience. Design and build polished, performant UI in Vue 3 (Composition API) from the tiny interaction details to the data layer behind them.
Own the full journey of a feature. Partner with Product on the PRD, define the KPIs that actually matter, ship it, then track whether it moved the needle and iterate honestly if it didn't.
Shape the component library. Evolve our patterns, primitives, and the infra that lets the whole team build faster without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Go full-stack when it counts. Write Node (NestJS) services and work across our data stack (Postgres, Snowflake, ClickHouse) to deliver features truly end-to-end.
Push AI-assisted development forward. Build the guardrails, skills, and workflows that let engineers contribute code quickly and safely you'll help make AI a force multiplier for the whole team, not a liability.
Raise the bar org-wide. Your taste in UX, and code quality should ripple well beyond your own team.

We're looking for our **first Forward Deployed Engineer**. You'll sit directly with our customers' engineering teams and get their workloads onto Impala - from the first scoping conversation to a production endpoint carrying real traffic, at a cost and latency profile they couldn't hit anywhere else.
This is an engineering role. You will write code every day, in customer repos and in ours. It also carries pieces of solutions architecture, product management, and pre-sales, and you should want that mix rather than tolerate it. Ambiguous business goals come in; observable, benchmarked, production services go out.
As the founding FDE you also define the function: what a POC looks like, what we promise and measure, which patterns get productized, and how the field feeds the roadmap. The next FDEs will work from what you build here.
What You'll Do
- **Own customer outcomes end to end:** problem framing, evaluation design, migration, deployment, benchmarking, monitoring. You're the technical owner from first call through expansion.
- **Win the POC:** turn a vague objective into a tight spec and a working proof of concept fast, with explicit quality, latency, throughput, and cost-per-token targets - and hit them.
- **Tune serverless inference for real workloads:** model and engine selection, batching strategy, KV cache behavior, speculative decoding, quantization, parallelism, cold-start and autoscaling behavior under bursty traffic. Diagnose regressions down to the inference engine.
- **Migrate workloads onto Impala:** move customers off OpenAI-compatible APIs, self-managed vLLM, SageMaker, or their own GPU fleets - and prove out the quality and cost delta with numbers.
- **Guide model strategy:** advise on open-weight model selection, distillation, and fine-tuning for specific tasks; help customers get from a general-purpose frontier model to a smaller, faster, cheaper one that holds quality.
- **Close the product loop:** bring the field back into the roadmap - write the PRDs, land the PRs, and turn one-off customer work into platform features.
- **Be the technical anchor in the room:** support sales on complex evaluations, run technical onboarding, earn trust with staff engineers and CTOs.

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to build and scale the data foundation behind platform and products. You will own complex data end-to-end - from ingestion and transformation through modeling, quality, observability, and production delivery.
This is a hands-on senior IC role for a strong builder who can solve difficult data problems independently, set a high technical bar, and collaborate closely with engineering, DS, and product. You will turn large, fragmented datasets into reliable, reusable capabilities that power every product.
Responsibilities
Build and own scalable data pipelines- Design, implement, and operate robust pipelines for high-volume structured and unstructured data, with validation, monitoring, lineage, and recovery built in.
Scale the platform for growth- A key near-term initiative is re-architecting the system to support a significantly larger customer base. You will own performance and cost-efficiency across pipelines and services, keeping reliability and operating costs under control as the platform scales.
Build across the stack- This is not a pipelines-only role. You will also write backend services and some frontend, including the internal backoffice the team runs on. We hire builders, not narrow specialists.
Own the core data tables- Own schema design and evolution, data contracts, and the modeling standards the team follows - naming, shared dimensions, normalization, documentation. Be accountable when a table is wrong, late, or drifting.
Level up the teams data work- Pair with and advise software engineers and data scientists on Spark, SQL, and modeling, and help turn notebook-grade code into production-grade pipelines.
Partner cross-functionally- Translate product, client, compliance, and business requirements into clear technical designs and dependable production systems.
