Key skills for this role
We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with customers to deploy and operationalize depthfirst's security AI agents in their environments.
You'll be the technical bridge between our product and enterprise security infrastructure, ensuring our AI successfully detects vulnerabilities at scale.
You'll embed with customers to understand their security challenges, build custom integrations on top of depthfirst's platform, and partner closely with our product team to generalize solutions.
This role combines hands-on engineering with deep customer collaboration—you'll shape both how customers use depthfirst and how our product evolves.
You're excited about this role because you will…
• Embed with enterprise customers to deploy depthfirst's security AI agents into production environments
• Build deep relationships with security teams, becoming a trusted advisor who understands their challenges
• Translate customer problems into solutions: build custom integrations, data pipelines, and workflows that connect depthfirst with existing security tools
• Bridge the gap between customers and product—identify patterns across deployments and collaborate with product to turn one-off solutions into platform capabilities
• Communicate clearly with diverse stakeholders, from security engineers to CISOs
• Own end-to-end technical delivery: from scoping to implementation and optimization
• Travel to customer sites as needed to drive successful outcomes
