AI Engineer

• Lead and scale the Forward Deployed AI Engineering team across its two functions: customer-embedded engineering and AI & Data Science
• Own the team's mandate: embed in strategic customer accounts to discover problems, build high-grade solutions, and produce cross-customer intelligence that elevates the entire platform
• Define the engagement model for FDE work — how engineers are assigned to accounts, how engagements are scoped, and how solutions are documented and productized
• Oversee the AI & Data Science function — ensuring cross-customer telemetry, threat intelligence, and detection optimization work is translated into tools that the SE&A team can operate
• Partner with Sales to identify strategic accounts that are candidates for FDE engagement
• Partner with the SE&A and Rapid Deployment teams to ensure FDE-built solutions flow back into the broader delivery model
• Serve as an executive-level presence with strategic customers — participating in account reviews and helping define the roadmap for embedded engagements
• Evaluate new AI technologies, data science tooling, and engineering approaches that can improve team output and customer outcomes
• Hire, develop, and retain engineers across both the FDE and AI & DS functions
