Forward Deployed Engineer (Product)

About this role

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are building Watcher, a coding agent security product. Watcher is deployed in production and monitors billions of agent tokens per month across engineering teams at agent-building scale-ups and multinational enterprises. Every one of those deployments involves custom engineering: integrating with the customer's coding agents and security stack, running in their cloud or on-prem environment, and tuning monitors to their workflows.

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own that work end to end. You will be the technical face of Watcher to customers across the entire lifecycle: running technical evaluations and POCs with prospects, deploying Watcher into customer environments, building the integrations and custom capabilities they need, and providing white-glove support that turns early customers into long-term partners. You are an engineer first. When a customer needs something, your default is to build it, and then to work with the product team to decide what becomes part of the core product.

This is truly a "start-up role." You will be one of the first dedicated customer-facing engineers, you will have significant say in shaping how Apollo deploys and supports Watcher, and you can earn more responsibility quickly. As we grow, this role can develop toward leading forward-deployed engineering, solutions architecture, or core product engineering, depending on your interests.
