We're looking for an Application Engineer who can sit at the intersection of customers, product, core engineering, and R&D, turning Fortaegis technology and products into working, custom solutions for real customer environments.\nThis is a hands-on, high-visibility role. You'll be the technical bridge between what customers need and what our engineering and R&D teams build, designing and building custom applications on top of Fortaegis technology and products, standing up and maintaining demo/PoC platforms, and being a trusted technical voice in customer conversations.\nJob requirements\nSoftware engineering experience, ideally with some exposure to embedded systems (firmware, low-level networking stacks, hardware-software interfaces, or similar).\n\nStrongfundamentals in networking, L2/L3 concepts, Ethernet, IP, NAT, VLANs, routing/switching basics, and comfort reasoning about network topology and traffic flow.\n\nDemonstrated experienceworking directly with customers,technical discovery, solutioning, troubleshooting live issues, or supporting deployments in customer environments.\n\nAbility to build and maintain applications end-to-end: comfortable writing production-quality code, not just scripts or prototypes.\n\nStrong communication skills, able to translate between customer language, product language, and engineering language without losing precision.\n\nSelf-directed and comfortable with ambiguity, this role sits across teams and will often need to define its own scope.\n\nNice to Have\nPrior experience working with or deploying network security products (encryptors, firewalls, VPN appliances, NAC/access-control systems, or similar).\n\nExperience with cryptographic concepts (PKI, symmetric/asymmetric key infrastructure)\n\nExperience building or supporting customer-facing demo environments, sandboxes, or lab infrastructure.\n\nBackground in a hardware security, telecom, or defense/critical-infrastructure customer segment.\n\nJob responsibilities\nWork directly with customers to understand their network environments, security requirements, and integration constraints, translating these into technical requirements for the product and engineering teams.\n\nDesign, build, and maintaincustom applications and integrations on top of Fortaegis technology and products to meet specific customer or partner use cases.\n\nBuild and maintaindemo and proof-of-concept platforms,reliable, repeatable environments used in customer evaluations, trials, and technical sales conversations.\n\nAct as the technical liaison across Product, Core Engineering, and R&D, feeding customer and field insight back into the roadmap and pulling engineering context out to customers and partners.\n\nSupport pre-sales and post-sales technical engagements: solution scoping, technical demonstrations, PoC execution, and troubleshooting in customer environments.\n\nOwn the technical relationship through deployment, from initial technical discovery through integration, testing, and go-live support.\n\nProduce clear technical documentation (integration guides, deployment notes, demo runbooks) so solutions are repeatable and supportable beyond you.\n\nProvide field feedback on product gaps, edge cases, and customer-driven feature requests to Product and R&D.\n\nAdditional information\nYou won't be building in a vacuum, every application and demo you build will be shaped by real customer conversations, and every customer conversation you have will be informed by direct access to the people building the underlying technology. If you like working close to both the customer and the core engineering, and want ownership over how a hard security product actually gets deployed in the field, this role is built for that.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3781,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Quantum Science & Computing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T20:08:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.5,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fortaegis-application-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fortaegis-application-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T06:23:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8597,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3880577},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3880577"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffortaegis-application-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffortaegis-application-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffortaegis-application-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fortaegis-application-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffortaegis-application-engineer"}]}
