Forward Deployed Engineer, Security

About The Role

You will be the security operator embedded with our most important customers. Deploying Zaun into their environment, writing detections that fire on their real threat model, and responding to real incidents alongside their team. You will be the loop that closes between the customer and the product. The things you cannot do in Zaun today become product priorities next week.

Write Detections and Playbooks

• Write detections and playbooks tuned to each customer environment

Respond to Incidents

Ship Insights

Who You Are

• Three or more years in detection engineering, SOC, incident response, or threat hunting
• Strong scripting in Python or Go, comfortable in a real terminal
• Calm under pressure. Customers will see you in their worst moments
• Want to ship, not write reports

Nice to Have

• Past work at an MSSP, MDR, or in-house SOC
• Detection content portfolio (Sigma, KQL, Splunk, custom)
