About this Role

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer with 2, 5 years of experience to serve as the first line of defense for our highest-value customers, owning the full cycle from triaging bugs and shipping fixes to building technical rapport and championing the customer experience. You'll join a small, high-caliber team at a YC W24 cybersecurity startup that's scaling fast and needs talented, customer-facing engineers to maintain a premium product experience as the business grows.

What will you be doing?

  • Be the primary point of contact for our largest accounts, absorbing every inbound question, bug report, and feature request

  • Turn around bug fixes and incremental product improvements quickly while embedded with high-value customers

  • Sit with the engineering team to deeply understand detection, the product backend, and hard vs. Soft constraints so you can interface credibly with customers

  • Lead initial product discovery for new features based on real customer pain points, then roll improvements back into the codebase

  • Represent Petra's technical capabilities externally, including trade shows and technical demos, in collaboration with the go-to-market team
