Forward Deployed Engineer

About Opal Security:

At Opal, we’re building modern identity governance for the AI era—intelligent access management that empowers enterprises to move fast while staying secure. Our mission is to bring clarity, control, and confidence to complex enterprise environments, helping teams govern access without slowing down innovation.

About the Role:

Identity is having a moment. Every company is deploying agents, spinning up service accounts, and realizing their IAM stack can't keep up. We're building AI-native security that scales with this chaos and companies like Databricks and Figma are betting on us to get it right.

You will be the technical bridge between Opal and our customers. You'll embed with prospects and customers during critical moments; sales cycles, implementations, expansions, and build whatever it takes to get them across the finish line. That might mean prototyping a custom integration, architecting their deployment, debugging their environment, or writing code that becomes part of our product. You'll own the technical relationship, which means you get to be creative, challenge assumptions, and build trust through deep expertise.

Please note: We've built a team that works exceptionally well together and has fun doing so. We're looking to bring on new teammates who will both add to and grow with what we're building 🙂
