[Hiring] Forward Deployed Engineer @Linro

Role Description

You would be the engineer who gets Linro running inside a customer's real environment and keeps it running. Our founders and go-to-market team win the customer and own the commercial relationship. You own the technical side:

• Take a customer from signed agreement to a working install and the first blocked change.
• Stay on it after go-live for upgrades, incidents, and tuning.
• Spend a few days at a customer's office to get an install running or to work through a problem with their team.
• Everything you learn goes back to engineering and product.

This is an engineering role, not a support or sales role, and there is no quota.

What you will do

• Run customer onboarding end to end: connect the customer's cloud accounts, deploy sensors, and get to a first blocked change fast.
• Write and tune SQL-based policies and policy packs mapped to each customer's frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA), and keep false positives low.
• Wire Linro guardrails into the customer's Terraform and CI/CD workflows and into their AI coding agents through MCP.
• Run Linro in production at the customer: monitor, upgrade, and respond when it breaks.
• Debug inside their environment, hand reproducible findings to engineering, and fix what you can yourself.
• Close the loop: structured feedback to product and engineering, reusable playbooks for the next customer, and a seat in scoping calls.

Qualifications

• 5 to 6+ years of customer-facing technical delivery (forward deployed or solutions engineering, SRE or platform consulting).
• Hands-on cloud experience: running real workloads, identity and access, networking, and audit logging on at least one major cloud.
• Solid engineering skills: writing real code in Go or Python for integrations and tooling, reading Go services, and comfortable with SQL and APIs.
• Daily use of AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and hands-on MCP experience.
• Understanding of how companies work: change management, approvals, release and audit processes.
• Restricted-network experience: proxies, private networking, data residency, self-hosted or in-cluster installs.
• Strong communication skills and comfort with ambiguity.
• Fluent in English.
• Open to travel: to customers across Europe and the US, up to roughly a quarter of your time.

Nice to have

• Turning compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001) into concrete controls.
• Experience with Policy-as-code (OPA/Rego, Sentinel, Cedar) or CSPM tooling.

Benefits

• Real ownership: you own every customer deployment from day one, with direct access to the founders and engineers.
• Meaningful equity: as an early employee, your stake reflects it.
• Competitive salary, benchmarked to the market.
• A quarterly European offsite.
• A team that takes both the mission and each other's time seriously.

Company Description

Linro is a Berlin-based cloud security company building a real-time, agentic cloud-security platform. Founded in Berlin in 2026 and built fully remote across Europe, Linro has a platform that's real and working, with plenty still to shape.

This is early. You will often be the first person to run Linro in a customer's environment, and you will write the playbooks as you go. If you want a polished onboarding process and a stable product surface, this is not it. If you want to sit between a new category and the customers who need it, and you like the idea of deploying the thing that keeps AI agents from breaking production, we should talk.
