Founding Forward Deployed Engineer — EMEA / Remote

Remote (EMEA)
$100,000 – $150,000 + equity
Full-time | Senior | Foundational Role

About the Role

Our client is building a modern platform for software supply chain security, enabling organizations to gather, secure, and contextualize all SDLC data across their environments.

They are hiring a Founding Forward Deployed Engineer — a rare, high-impact role at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer success. This is not a traditional Solutions Architect position. You will code daily, work directly with strategic enterprise customers, and shape both the product direction and this function itself.

As a founding member of this role, you'll help define how the company partners with its most demanding customers — often Fortune 500, financial institutions, and highly regulated organizations.

What You'll Do

Write production code daily, primarily in Go

Build fast proofs of concept (POCs) and production-ready integrations

• Implement complex CI/CD, Kubernetes, GitOps, and observability workflows
• Work hands-on inside customer environments to deploy and refine solutions

Act as the technical bridge between customers and core engineering

Identify patterns, risks, and opportunities early — before they escalate

Feed real-world insights back into product strategy and roadmap

What We're Looking For

5+ years as a Senior / Staff Engineer, Architect, or equivalent

Strong hands-on coding experience (Go strongly preferred)

• Experience supporting enterprise customers (Fortune 500, finance, government)

Deep, practical understanding of modern software supply chains

Experience with POCs, integrations, and production systems

Familiarity with CI/CD, Kubernetes, GitOps, and observability tooling

Excellent synchronous and asynchronous communication skills

Calm, pragmatic, and effective under pressure

Genuine interest in supply chain security and open-source ecosystems

How You'll Work

• Builder-first mindset: you dont just suggest solutions — you implement them

High ownership, high trust, and minimal bureaucracy

Pragmatism over perfection

Comfortable shifting context quickly to support global customers

Willing to jump on a call when it matters

What This Role Is Not

Not a slideware or advisory-only role

Not a feature-request handoff position

• Not a place to hide behind async communication during critical moments

Why Join?

• Foundational role with real influence on product, customers, and culture

Direct exposure to complex, real-world enterprise environments

• Opportunity to shape how a next-generation security platform is adopted at scale

Competitive compensation with meaningful equity upside

Remote-first setup across EMEA

Apply now if you want to build, ship, and deploy real systems — and help define what forward deployed engineering looks like from day one...
