As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you are at the critical intersection of our code, our clients, and their most critical missions. You will be deployed to our most strategic partners, embedding within their environments to solve high-stakes problems that have no textbook answers. You own the "last mile" of our product's impact , ensuring our technology fundamentally transforms how our users confront challenges such as financial crime, supply chain disruption, and threats to national security. You are equal parts engineer, strategist, and operator. One day you might be architecting a data pipeline within a client's cloud environment ; the next, you'll be writing production Python to integrate our API into a proprietary analytics platform ; and by the end of the week, you could be briefing a C-level executive, intelligence analyst, or mission director on the outcomes your work has enabled. You thrive on ambiguity, operate with extreme ownership, and are relentless in your pursuit of delivering real-world value. You will act as a vital conduit between the front lines and our core engineering teams, turning yo

Agents have changed the game for software delivery and efficacy. Diligent is the leading GRC platform in the world, and we are racing ahead to take the agents show on the road and work with the customers where they work . The FDE function will lead the change on how we embed AI agents into some of the world’s most complex governance, risk and compliance environments. This is not a support or consultancy role. It is a builder role, for someone who is equally comfortable reading a failing agent trace, running a discovery workshop with a bank’s internal audit team, and translating what they find into a production-grade agentic solution. You will be building AI agents for GRC professionals , not assistants that surface suggestions, but agents that own complex, multi-step workflows end to end . Agents that customers can hand a task to and trust it will come back done. Closing the gap between a promising prototype and something a company Board and ELT depends on is a completely . Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do Embed directly with major enterprise customers (global banks, regulated corporates) across EU and US ; sitting wi th internal audit teams, risk functions, compliance and governance professionals to understand their real workflows and devise agentic solutions to intelligently automate them creating tremendous efficacy and efficiencies for our customers. Run agent-focused discovery workshops, rapidly prototype agentic solutions, and test them with practitioners; distinguishing between workflows that need an agent and those that need a button. Source, integrate, and move data between enterprise systems as part of live customer implementations — understanding the real data landscape customers operate in and building reliable pipelines to support it . Take agents from prototype t

Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. About Okta for AI Agents Okta secures access for 20,000 organizations and billions of users. Okta for AI Agents extends that work to the agentic shift. Deploying an AI agent is not like deploying traditional software. You are putting professional work output into production, and it needs deep integration, continuous tuning, and change management. Every agent needs an identity, a scope, an audit trail, and a way to be shut down when it goes wrong. Most enterprises have not built this yet. We are. We hire builders who see the cracks in enterprise agent identity that everyone else has learned to live with. The Role You are the most senior technical field authority for agent identity at Okta. Where a Senior FDE owns the outcome inside one account, you own the patterns that every account and every FDE inherits. You take the hardest and most strategic deployments yourself, set the reference architecture the team builds from, and turn what the field learns into the direction the product takes. You still write code. You also multiply the people around you, and you are the person product and engineering leadership call when an agent identity problem has no precedent. Responsibilities Own the reference architecture. Define the canonical agent identity, delegation, audit, and kill-switch patterns that Senior FDEs deploy across the portfolio, and keep them current as the standards and the product move. Lead the hardest accounts. Personally own the most strategic, regul

About Ema Ema builds AI Employees for HR, IT and Finance. Our AI Employees take on the busy work across the employee experience, from recruiting, onboarding and benefits to IT support, invoice processing and payroll, so people can spend their time on work that needs them. Founded by former executives from Google, Coinbase, Flipkart, and Okta, our team includes engineers from premier tech companies and graduates of Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, CMU, and IITs. We are backed by industry leading investors including Accel, Naspers/Prosus, Creaegis, Section32, and angels like Sheryl Sandberg and Dustin Moskovitz. Headquartered in Silicon Valley and with offices in London, Bangalore and Vancouver, Ema is at the frontier of what Agentic AI can do in production. We ship real systems that run real business processes at scale. The role “The ideal forward deployed builder is a composite. Not a software engineer, not a product manager, not a solutions architect or a salesperson — but able to draw on any of these to solve the customer’s problems, in the customer’s building, on the customer’s timeline, against the customer’s data.” Ema is building the Universal Agentic Control Plane — the layer where enterprises turn messy, human-run business processes into AI Employees that actually do the work. The platform is powerful. The bottleneck is people who can walk into a customer’s world, see what should be automated, and make it real. That’s this role. We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Builder to embed inside our customers and partners, find the highest-value opportunities for agentic automation, solution them, build the demo, win the deal, and then stay to implement it in production. You go in alone, Rambo in the jungle, armed with your wits, your skills, and the most powerful agentic platform on the market. We’ll train you hard before you deploy. After that, the territory is yours. This is not a support role behind an account team. You are the account team, the solutions architect,

The Opportunity We are taking the Commercial World Model into its next phase: agentic AI that reasons over it directly, running investigations and surfacing risk the way a senior analyst would, then returning sourced assessments for human review. You would build and scale a new product line with the backing of an established, proven global organization. It offers the freedom of an entrepreneur inside a business, with talented resources behind you, including forward-deployed engineers and analysts dedicated to your accounts. It is a front-row seat to the changes shaping global markets right now. We are hiring a Strategic Account Director to bring deep subject matter expertise to our financial services vertical. You will join an already strong sales team and take it further into the relationships, domain depth, and agentic use cases this vertical needs next. You bring the network and the credibility that only years inside this sector can build. You won’t be the first rep at Sayari, but you will be one of the first people anywhere selling agentic investigation and risk agents into this vertical, on a foundation of data other vendors in our space don’t have. That’s the pitch yo
