About the Role:

SecurityScorecard is hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to embed with our most strategic customers and turn raw security data into decisions executives act on. You'll deploy onsite, learn the customer's workflow, data, and decision logic firsthand, and build SecurityScorecard directly into how they already operate, closing gaps and creating new value instead of bolting on a generic integration.

We're an AI product company at our core, so our FDEs build AI-first: using LLMs and modern AI tooling by default, and applying real data science to help customers quantify risk in terms finance already trusts.

What You'll Do

Deploy onsite with strategic customers to map their security, risk, and compliance workflows end to end, and find where value is leaking through manual effort or disconnected tools
Gather requirements from practitioners and executives, and understand the dependencies across their people, process, and data before proposing a solution
Weave SecurityScorecard into the customer's existing data, logic, and process, rather than forcing them to adapt to a generic integration
Build AI-native solutions by default: apply LLMs, ML models, and modern AI tooling to automate analysis and cut manual toil
Run data analysis and data science work on customer and platform data, for example translating letter-grade ratings into financial terms like Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE), Value at Risk (VaR), and ROI
Design and deploy integrations, pipelines, and tools connecting SecurityScorecard to customer systems (SIEM, GRC, ticketing, data warehouses, and more)
Architect and deploy solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments to match each customer's cloud footprint
Prototype rapidly in the field, then harden solutions into supportable, production quality software
Bridge Product, Engineering, and the customer, feeding field patterns back into the roadmap
Own technical relationships with key accounts through renewal and expansion, alongside Customer Success and Sales Engineering
Travel to customer sites for workshops, technical deep dives, and go-live support

Required Qualifications:

8+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in a customer-facing, forward deployed, or solutions engineering capacity
Hands-on experience building with AI, using LLMs, agentic frameworks, or ML models as core building blocks in shipped solutions
A track record building AI-powered products or features, and a clear point of view on how AI changes forward deployed work
Working data analysis / data science ability: comfortable turning raw data into a model a customer can act on (risk quantification, benchmarking, exposure modeling)
Proven ability to ship production code independently in fast-moving, ambiguous, customer-facing environments
Strong full stack fluency: backend services, APIs, scripting, data pipelines, and integration patterns (REST, webhooks, SSO/SAML, SIEM connectors)
Solid architecture design experience across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and comfort designing solutions that fit a customer's existing cloud environment
Experience running discovery with enterprise stakeholders, from practitioners to executive sponsors, and scoping that into a technical solution
Excellent communication skills, translating between technical detail and business or financial impact
Bias toward action and comfort with ambiguity
Prior experience in cybersecurity, GRC, or risk management is a strong plus
Willingness to travel to customer sites (typically 20 to 40%, depending on account load)

Benefits:

Specific to each country, we offer a competitive salary, stock options, Health benefits, and unlimited PTO, parental leave, tuition reimbursements, and much more!

Actual compensation for the position is based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to affordability, skills, qualifications and experience, and may vary from the range. In addition to base salary, employees may also be eligible for annual performance-based incentive compensation awards and equity, among other company benefits.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
