This role works directly with\nU.S. power utility and government customers to solve urgent cyber and operational risk challenges while turning those learnings into repeatable, productized capabilities. AI-assisted cyber threats are increasing demand for rapid, customer-specific analysis. Customers need to know whether their current defenses can withstand machine-speed vulnerability discovery, exploitation analysis, and attack path evaluation.\nThis role addresses that need through embedded, hands-on engineering: quickly understanding customer processes, systems, data, cyber posture, and constraints, then delivering working solutions in approved customer or secure environments. This is a seasoned, principal-level individual contributor role reporting into Customer Success. This is an ideal opportunity for a senior technologist who wants to work on the front line of AI-era cyber defense for critical infrastructure, combining deep technical delivery with executive-level customer impact and commercial judgment.\nTasks\n Work directly with U.S. power utility and government customers to reduce cyber risk, improve visibility, and respond to AI-assisted threats. \n\n Quickly understand customer processes, systems, data, cyber posture, and business constraints. \n\n Help customers answer urgent cyber questions, such as which products, vendors, components, assets, or supply chain relationships may be impacted by a newly announced threat or vulnerability.\n\n Access, export, normalize, and compare customer data across vulnerability management,\n\nendpoint detection, network topology, attack path tooling, asset inventories, software bills of materials (SBOMs), business impact analysis, and supply chain mapping. \n\n Write secure, outcome-focused code, including agentic workflows and batch jobs, to surface insights quickly in approved customer or secure environments. \n\n Convert bespoke customer work into product requirements that Product Management can formalize into scalable software capabilities. \n\n Identify expansion opportunities by demonstrating customer value, shaping repeatable usecases, and connecting services-led problem solving to embedded platform capabilities. \n\n Present findings clearly to customer executives, technical teams, and internalstakeholders.\n\nRequirements\n7-10 years experience combining software/data engineering, cybersecurity analysis, and customer-facing solution engineering at a senior or principal level. \n\n Hands-on experience developing AI-agentic workflows (LLM-based automation, agent orchestration, retrieval-augmented pipelines, or similar). \n\n Demonstrated ability to access, normalize, and analyze large, messy, multi-source data sets to answer urgent operational questions. \n\n Ability to write pragmatic, secure, production-appropriate code (e.g., Python or similar) in constrained or regulated environments. \n\n Strong executive communication skills, including presenting complex technical findings to customer leadership. \n\n Ability to operate independently in embedded customer environments and manage competing priorities. \n\n Must be eligible for a U.S. security clearance; successful completion of a background check is required.\n\nExperience with U.S. electric utilities or other critical infrastructure sectors. \n Familiarity with OT/ICS environments and their operational and remediation constraints. \n Knowledge of NERC CIP or comparable regulatory frameworks. \n Experience with vulnerability management, attack path analysis, and endpoint/security tooling. \n Experience with supply chain risk management (SCRM), SBOM/VEX analysis, and third- party risk workflows. \n Commercial judgment: shaping repeatable use cases and identifying expansion\nopportunities.Bachelor'sdegree in computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, or a related field\nrequired. Advanced degree or relevant certifications (e.g., security or cloud) preferred.\nBenefitsRemote work, United StatesOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":4147,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Information Security","Energy & Utilities"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T14:28:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":75,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.755,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["seen:8","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":100000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/itteams-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/itteams-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T04:24:27Z","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":6360,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3901772},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3901772"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fitteams-forward-deployed-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%2Fitteams-forward-deployed-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%2Fitteams-forward-deployed-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/itteams-forward-deployed-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fitteams-forward-deployed-engineer"}]}
