HelmGuard Technologies, Inc. - Forward Deployed Engineer
Requirements
• 2–5 years of experience doing something tough/challenging and impressive • Real commercial instinct: you've sold, negotiated, or owned customer outcomes in a way you can point to • Solutions architect, deployment strategist, customer engineer, or similar background at a technical enterprise company • Experience at a Series A/B enterprise startup (GRC, cyber or legal tech in particular) • Background in risk, compliance, or financial services • Who We Typically Hire For This Role • Ambitious candidates with a STEM background (mathematics, computer science, physics, etc.) who are interested in working with people • Existing SWEs looking for a shift to more customer work • This Role Probably Isn't For You If • You have only worked in consulting and not needed to maintain a product • You prefer to be on the selling side rather than building • You want to own the relationship but not the implementation • You haven’t worked with current AI coding tools • Culture and Values • We value a diversity of perspectives and experiences. We also hold a small set of core beliefs that reflect how we operate, and share them transparently with candidates so the fit is clear from the outset. • Put Customers First. Our customers buy outcomes from us, not features. We judge every decision by whether it delivers on that promise. • Take Ownership. Founding-stage means problems don't come pre-scoped. You see something that needs doing, scope it, ship it, own the outcome. We expect this from everyone, and provide you with the backing to execute on it.
Responsibilities
• Own strategic accounts: adoption, expansion, renewal, the whole thing • Run weekly working sessions with senior stakeholders; drive the agenda, close the loop • Configure the platform to fit each customer's reality • Manage the async cadence: emails, follow-ups, status updates, internal escalations • Translate customer needs into prioritized product feedback that actually changes the roadmap • Hold your own in procurement, security review, and contract conversations • Ship code with Claude Code. When a customer needs a UI fix, a small feature, or a bug squashed, you do it. You don't need to be an engineer today, but you need to want to ship by month three. We'll teach you. • YOU PROBABLY HAVE • 2–5 years of experience doing something hard and impressive • Real commercial instinct: you've sold, negotiated, or owned customer outcomes in a way you can point to • Comfort being the single point of accountability when something is on fire • Solutions architect, deployment strategist, customer engineer, or similar background at a technical enterprise company • Experience at a Series A/B enterprise startup (GRC, cyber or legal tech in particular) • Background in risk, compliance, or financial services
