### About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Implementation Engineer at TENEX, you are the engine that gets customers live.

- Work from standardized playbooks to deliver MDR coverage within target SLOs
- Troubleshoot connectivity, ingestion, and configuration issues during deployment
- Enable customers through hands-on training — teaching them to navigate, understand, and get value from their deployed platform
- Document deployment configurations and handoff notes for the ongoing support team
- Manage multiple concurrent customer deployments depending on complexity and platform
- Escalate technical blockers to Senior Engineers or Manager when appropriate

### Required Skills & Qualifications

- Familiarity with data pipeline technologies such as Bindplane, OpenTelemetry, Cribl, or similar
- Scripting experience in Python, Bash, or similar languages
- Understanding of networking fundamentals and security operations workflows
- Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, and/or AWS)

### Soft Skills

- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills with a bias toward action
- Excellent customer-facing communication and collaboration abilities
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-performance startup environment
- Passion for cybersecurity, automation, and continuous improvement

### Education & Certifications

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC certifications, Google Cloud Professional, Microsoft SC-200/AZ-500, or AWS Certified Solutions Architect are a plus

### Why Join Us?

- Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI-driven cybersecurity technologies and next-generation security platforms
