Prophet Security is hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Security Engineer. You will be embedded with customers end-to-end, owning technical execution from prospect-stage validation through rollout, support, and expansion. This role operates at the boundary between customer reality and our core product, helping shape what we build next while defining operational standards for the FDSE function.
What You'll Do
- Own end-to-end technical delivery for prospective and existing customers, from requirements through shipped outcomes across rollout, adoption, long-tail support, and expansion.
- Partner with Customer Success, GTM, and Engineering to remove blockers fast, align on scope and tradeoffs, and keep execution moving.
- Connect and validate customer security telemetry end-to-end, from ingestion and parsing through downstream workflows and outcomes.
- Build rapid prototypes, integrations, and workflows for customer-specific needs, then harden the best solutions into reusable deliverables.
- Ship code and configuration changes across APIs, permissions, integrations, and notification workflows to improve reliability and time-to-value.
- Debug and reproduce issues, fix inconsistencies in data and integration behavior, and drive feedback to Product and Engineering with root cause, fix recommendations, and success criteria.
What We're Looking For
- A senior FDSE operator who can set the operating model and deliver hands-on customer outcomes.
- A track record of shipping high-quality products and features at scale and driving measurable customer outcomes (years flexible; 5+ preferred).
- Strong proficiency in Python or Go, with the ability to scope, build, debug, and ship quickly in production customer environments.
- Strong customer presence and cross-functional leadership across Customer Success, GTM, Product, and Engineering, with sound tradeoff judgment under pressure.
- End-to-end systems fluency across ingestion, parsing, APIs, integrations, permissions, and workflow automation.
Nice to Have
- Founder or early-stage (first 10 engineers) experience; thrives in ambiguity and ships fast.
- Experience in security operations, detection engineering, or incident response.
- Familiarity with LLMs, prompt engineering, or agentic workflows.
- Experience with SIEM/SOAR tools, telemetry pipelines, or alert classification systems.
- Background building or maintaining API integrations or security connectors.
