Forward Deployed Engineer – Vulnerability Management & Security

Accountabilities:

• Lead the technical deployment, configuration, integration, and ongoing optimization of autonomous security and vulnerability management platforms across high-security enterprise, government, and defense environments.


• Deploy solutions within sovereign, restricted, and air-gapped networks while adapting implementations to customer-specific infrastructure, security requirements, and operational constraints.


• Read, analyze, and modify production code across languages such as Python, Go, Rust, and C/C++ to support vulnerability identification, remediation, patch verification, and security tooling integrations.


• Investigate complex security challenges involving memory safety, logic flaws, web and network attack surfaces, and emerging or zero-day vulnerabilities.


• Integrate security capabilities into complex IT/OT, VPC, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, authentication, and cross-domain environments.


• Work directly with customer engineering teams, security operations centers, system administrators, and operational leadership to troubleshoot issues and deliver effective technical solutions.


• Navigate stringent security, compliance, authentication, networking, and operational requirements while maintaining execution speed and deployment quality.


• Establish trusted technical relationships with customers and serve as a subject matter expert in vulnerability management, automated remediation, and cyber defense.


• Capture operational edge cases and customer feedback from field deployments and translate them into actionable requirements for internal Engineering and AI teams.


• Contribute to improving core platform capabilities by identifying recurring deployment challenges, technical gaps, and opportunities for automation.


• Take end-to-end ownership of technical outcomes in high-stakes environments, balancing security rigor, customer requirements, and practical execution.

Requirements

• Active UK SC/DV, EU Secret, NATO Secret, or equivalent national security clearance.


• Strong professional experience as a Security Engineer, Software Engineer, Systems Engineer, or similar technical role with substantial hands-on security responsibilities.


• Ability to read, write, debug, and modify production-quality code in one or more languages such as Python, Go, Rust, or C/C++.


• Deep understanding of core vulnerability classes, including memory safety issues, logic flaws, web and network attack surfaces, and zero-day vulnerability dynamics.


• Strong understanding of cybersecurity principles, vulnerability management, remediation, security hardening, and automated defense.


• Comfortable working with complex enterprise architectures, including Linux, IT/OT environments, VPCs, Docker, Kubernetes, and air-gapped networks.


• Experience integrating software or security platforms into complex customer environments with strict operational, security, and compliance constraints.


• Excellent customer-facing communication skills, with the ability to explain sophisticated technical concepts clearly to both senior decision-makers and hands-on technical teams.
