Forward Deployed Engineer Jobs

Staff Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) sit at the intersection of enterprise customer environments and a fast-moving internal product. They are senior technical leaders who own ambiguous, high-impact problems that span customer engagements, product direction, and engineering execution. They are accountable not only for getting customers to production, but for using what is learned in the field to shape reusable product capabilities, technical strategy, and delivery quality across multiple teams. This role is best suited for engineers who want to combine hands-on technical depth with broad influence: defining or changing strategy when customer reality reveals a gap, guiding technical decisions across teams, and translating field insight into durable product and engineering improvements. We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Gurugram for our hybrid working model. Responsibilities Customer and business impact Own the most complex customer engagements and technical workstreams, especially where the problem, solution, or path to production is ambiguous Build deep understanding of customer architecture, business goals, constraints, and definition of success, and use that understanding to shape the technical approach rather than only execute within a predefined one Act as a trusted technical counterpart to customer’s engineering leaders, internal product and engineering leaders, and executive stakeholders when navigating complex tradeoffs, risks, and priorities Technical leadership and execution Lead architectural design for customer-facing solutions and platform capabilities within the FDE domain, balancing hands-on implementation with technical decision-making across multiple teams Take ambiguous, high-level problems and turn them into clear technical direction, implementation plans, milestones, and ownership boundaries that enable execution at quality and speed Continue to write and review production-quality code, troubleshoot complex failures, and set

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 embed inside four to five of Okta’s most strategic enterprise customers as their dedicated technical partner for agent identity. You sit alongside their identity, platform, and security engineering teams, write production code in their environment, and own the technical outcome from prototype through production. You are a builder-consultant. You go past architecture diagrams to code, debug, and ship bespoke agent identity solutions inside the customer’s environment. You ship secure agents faster for the customer, and you feed real field insight back to Okta product engineering. Responsibilities Become the customer’s trusted technical voice on agent security. Sit in their standups, design reviews, and incident response. Earn a seat on their architecture review board and security council for agent risk decisions. Architect and deploy with the cust

About the Role At FourKites we have the opportunity to tackle complex challenges with real-world impacts. Whether it’s medical supplies from Cardinal Health or groceries for Walmart, the FourKites platform helps customers operate global supply chains that are efficient, agile and sustainable. Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity. As a Senior Customer Engineer, you own the technical customer relationship end to end. You run discovery independently, design integration and agentic workflow architectures for complex enterprise problems, and deploy solutions live with customers — often before they know exactly how to articulate what they need. You write optimized, production-grade code at speed, grounded in strong data structures and algorithms fundamentals, because compressing the time from customer problem to working solution is how FDE delivers its value. You bring genuine innovation to hard problems — your solutions are technically sound, elegant, and often non-obvious.
