Forward Deployed Engineer
About the role
We Are Praetorian
Praetorian is defined by raw intensity, fearless candor, and a relentless drive. This is who we are.
We are looking for high-performing, mission-aligned individuals. We prioritize performance over politics and purpose over transaction. This environment is built for those who seek ownership and impact.
Is Praetorian the right fit for you? If you are someone who obsesses over the problem, defaults to open communication, and wants to work with a team that refuses to accept mediocrity—then you have found your home.
The Mission
Praetorian is an expert-driven offensive security company. Our mission is to prevent breaches before they occur. We help organizations shift from an "assume breach" mentality to adopting offensive security as a core strategy of prevention.
We don’t just find bugs; we solve the root cause. We are building a future without compromise, and we need people who run toward the fire.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a Forward Deploy Engineer who operates with clear ownership. You're not just answering tickets. You're setting the standard for what customer-facing engineering looks like. You believe the issue in front of you is the floor, not the job — the real work is making sure the next ten customers never hit it.
How You Operate
You are customer-first by default. When a customer hits a wall, you get them unblocked, and you measure yourself by how fast and how completely that happens. You bring mission-driven grit to every challenge, running toward hard problems rather than away from them. You prioritize customer outcomes over internal processes, and you choose truth and clarity over performative politeness. Being customer-first does not mean customer-always-right — you have the maturity to recognize an unreasonable request and handle it professionally: hold the line, explain why, and offer the path that actually works. The same judgment applies inward. You handle most issues yourself, and when a problem is beyond you, you escalate fast with full context and a proposed solution.
