About the Role
Imperum is building an Autonomous SOC powered by agentic AI, where agents investigate alerts, reason across security data, interact with security technologies, execute workflows, and collaborate with analysts.
The AI Forward Deployed Engineer works at the intersection of AI engineering, software engineering, cybersecurity, and customer deployment.
The role involves designing, deploying, integrating, troubleshooting, and improving agentic AI solutions in production customer environments.
Core Customer Solution Work
- Understand customer problems and operational environments, then select the appropriate agents, tools, integrations, and data.
- Design agentic workflows, build missing components in Python, connect agents to customer technologies, and test and deploy solutions.
- Convert successful customer-specific implementations into reusable platform building blocks.
Build and Deploy Agentic AI
- Design and implement production-grade AI agents and multi-agent workflows.
- Implement orchestration, routing, planning, reasoning, tool use, memory, state management, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
- Optimize AI workflows for alert triage, investigation, threat hunting, incident response, detection engineering, forensics, and security automation.
Forward Deployment
- Deploy Autonomous SOC capabilities in enterprise and MSSP environments.
- Customize agents and build customer-specific tools, integrations, prompts, workflows, and agent graphs.
- Troubleshoot production behavior, integrate customer systems, and take requirements back to core engineering.
Technical Requirements
- Excellent hands-on Python knowledge is mandatory, including APIs, SDK development, data processing, testing, debugging, authentication, error handling, and observability.
- Required agentic AI knowledge includes LangChain, LangGraph, tool calling, multi-agent architectures, state and memory, orchestration, evaluation, guardrails, and prompt or context engineering.
- LLM engineering topics include compatible APIs, open-source models, embeddings, RAG, vector search, context management, structured generation, evaluation, and benchmarking.
- Infrastructure knowledge includes REST or GraphQL APIs, webhooks, OAuth2, event-driven systems, permissions, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, Git, CI/CD, and cloud platforms.
- Cybersecurity knowledge should include SOC operations, SIEM, EDR/XDR, SOAR, detection engineering, incident response, threat hunting, DFIR, MITRE ATT&CK, Sigma, and security telemetry.
What Makes a Great Candidate
- Has built real LLM or agentic AI applications and can rapidly prototype while writing production-quality code.
- Can independently debug unfamiliar environments and solve difficult problems directly with customers.
- Communicates clearly with engineers and security teams and understands safe interaction between AI agents and real systems.
Nice to Have
- Experience with autonomous or multi-agent systems, cybersecurity products, SOC/SIEM/SOAR platforms, MCP servers, local or air-gapped LLMs, RAG, observability, or model distillation is advantageous.
- Experience with enterprise SaaS, MSSP or multi-tenant environments, customer-facing engineering, or difficult undocumented APIs is advantageous.
Workplace
- The offer describes a flexible remote setup.
Compensation
- The compensation package combines a competitive base salary and restricted stock units.
- The offer includes hardware and a budget for AI tools, courses, conferences, and model API credits.
