Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be the technical owner for strategic customer deployments of the Securiti AI platform within Veeam. You will work directly with customers to deploy, integrate, and scale the platform across complex cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

You will help customers turn complex data and AI environments into clear security, privacy, governance, and AI readiness outcomes. This is a hands-on engineering role where you will build integrations, automate workflows, troubleshoot issues, and adapt the platform to fit real customer needs.

What You'll Do

• Own the technical outcome for customer accounts, from first deployment through scaled, everyday use
• Deploy and configure the platform across hybrid environments, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, private cloud, and on-premises systems
• Connect the platform to customer data systems, identity providers, reporting tools, and business workflows
• Configure, tune, and troubleshoot core deployment components, including Kubernetes, containers, Linux, and cloud infrastructure
• Build and operate integrations using APIs, including SSO/SAML/OIDC, SIEM, ITSM, data platforms, and downstream reporting or remediation systems
• Translate customer goals into technical plans that support data discovery, classification, governance, privacy, and AI security outcomes
• Adapt platform behavior when standard configuration does not fully match the customer’s data, risk model, or operating process
• Build production-grade solutions, including data pipelines, custom classifiers, automations, integrations, and agent-based workflows
• Use AI-native tools and agents to automate repeatable work, improve delivery quality, and increase your impact
• Diagnose complex issues across data, deployment, and integration layers using observability tools and structured problem-solving
• Lead technical sessions with customer teams; partner with Sales Engineering, Product, and Engineering to support POCs, resolve issues, and share field learnings

What You'll Bring

• 4–7+ years of experience in technical, customer-facing roles, such as forward-deployed engineering, solutions engineering, platform engineering, or technical consulting
• Strong software engineering skills, with fluency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, or TypeScript
• Experience building and shipping practical technical solutions, such as scripts, integrations, data pipelines, classifiers, automations, or internal tools
• Ability to read unfamiliar code, understand running systems quickly, and guide targeted changes when needed
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, Linux, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
• Experience working across hybrid environments, including cloud, private cloud, and on-premises systems
• Strong understanding of APIs, system integration, SQL/NoSQL data stores, and structured or unstructured data
• Experience using AI-native developer tools, agents, and automation to work faster and improve quality
• Strong customer presence, with the ability to build trust with executives, business stakeholders, and technical teams
• Ability to translate unclear security, privacy, compliance, or business needs into a clear technical plan
• Working knowledge of data security, privacy, and regulatory topics across industries and geographies
• High ownership, strong critical thinking, and the ability to bring structure to complex problems without a clear playbook

Bonus Skills

• Experience with DSPM, CSPM, DLP, data governance, privacy platforms, or related security domains
• Experience building or heavily using AI agents, agentic coding assistants, MCP, or RAG systems
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, SOC 2, or ISO 27001
• Experience with enterprise data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery
• Knowledge of access control, encryption, masking, or data protection controls in enterprise data systems
