Forward Deployed Engineer collaborating with customers to deploy on-prem and hybrid software solutions. Engage in engineering improvements and technical support, working closely with multiple teams.
Responsibilities
Act as an R&D owner for customer deployments of on-prem and hybrid Content Inspection (CI), ensuring real-world requirements inform product behavior and roadmap decisions.
Work directly with customers to architect, deploy, and validate CI in production environments, including Kubernetes, Helm, networking, security, and performance considerations.
Lead investigation of complex customer issues by reproducing them in lab or test clusters, either delivering fixes or driving them to resolution within R&D.
Serve as a technical point of contact for high-severity CI incidents, joining customer bridges and coordinating resolution across R&D, SRE, and Customer Support.
Partner with SRE on reliability, capacity planning, upgrade safety, and operational readiness for on-prem CI.
Collaborate with Sales Engineering during late-stage evaluations and technical deep dives to ensure CI can meet customer architecture, scale, and security requirements.
Co-lead deployments and upgrades with Professional Services, validating prerequisites, reviewing configurations, and shaping best practices for repeatable success.
Act as the R&D point person for DSPM on-prem connectors, supporting design partners, validating new capabilities, and enabling large-scale customer rollouts.
Drive product improvements by owning feedback related to diagnostics, observability, configuration safety, upgrade/rollback behavior, and supportability.
Create internal design notes, runbooks, and technical documentation that bridge customer reality and engineering intent.
Participate in design reviews, release readiness, and post-incident retrospectives to ensure customer learnings are captured and acted on.
