Senior Forward Deployed Engineer
About the role
Location
This is a remote role based in Singapore. Candidates must live and work in Singapore and be legally authorized to work in Singapore.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you sit where platform engineering meets AI. You bring deep Kubernetes expertise to help enterprises adopt Stacklok's Enterprise platform and run AI agents securely on the infrastructure they already trust.
This is hands-on, high-ownership work. You will lead full forward-deployed engagements end to end, stand up custom proof-of-concepts with Design Partners, and answer the hard technical questions that come up as customers move toward production. When unlocking value means changing how the product deploys to Kubernetes, you own that work and contribute the changes back to Stacklok Enterprise itself.
Demand for this work is outpacing the team's capacity, so you will have a front-row seat to how leading enterprises put AI into production, and real influence over what gets built next. If you want your platform expertise to land directly with customers, this is your opportunity to do it at the frontier of enterprise AI.
What Success Looks Like: First 6-12 Months
- Ramped quickly on the platform and Stackok Enterprise architecture, becoming the technical SME the AppliedAI team relies on for enterprise engagements.
- Built trusted relationships across the team and with customers, and resolved a real customer blocker or shipped a first meaningful change.
- Took one or more Design Partners from proof-of-concept to a working production deployment of Stacklok's Enterprise platform.
- Unblocked enterprise adoption by improving how the product deploys to Kubernetes, measurably cutting time-to-value for customers.
- Turned field learnings into a reusable engagement playbook and tooling, using AI-assisted workflows to make the next deployment faster for the whole team.
