To shake up the way organizations protect their ever-changing digital worlds with continuous, intelligent, and autonomous security that doesn't miss a beat.\nWe're a global mix of curious minds, problem-solvers, and passionate builders, all united by one goal: making the internet a safer place for everyone. Around here, we thrive on vision, energy, and a strong sense of ownership.\nIf this feels like your kind of crew, you'll probably fit right in.\nThese days, that same spirit powers Silkrunner, our agentic AI workflow orchestration platform. Silkrunner lets organizations design, deploy, and orchestrate AI agents for any use case they have - security operations, HR, procurement, legal, sales, and beyond - so they can automate complex, real-world processes in days, not months. It doesn't come prepackaged with rigid templates; customers decide what their agents do, and we help them get there.\nAbout the Role:\n As a Forward Deployed Engineer at spiderSilk, you will be the bridge between our customers and Silkrunner, our agent orchestration platform. Silkrunner lets organizations design, deploy, and orchestrate AI agents for any use case they have - security operations, HR, procurement, legal, sales, and beyond. Customers know their processes inside out, but they need someone to translate that business reality into agentic automation. That's you. You will sit with customers, interpret and challenge their thinking, structure their workflows into implementable agent designs, and bring back a clear implementation story to the team. This is a hands-on, customer-embedded delivery role for someone comfortable on both the business side and the technical side of the platform.\nResponsibilities:\nEmbed with enterprise and government customers to discover, scope, and structure their automation use cases.\n\nTranslate business processes - procurement, HR, legal, security operations, and beyond - into structured agent workflows on Silkrunner.\n\nChallenge and shape customer thinking: identify which steps can be offloaded to agents and design the implementation approach.\n\nOwn the bridge between customer and product: return from the field with clear, actionable implementation plans for the delivery team.\n\nImplement, configure, and iterate on agent solutions through to production.\n\nWork at pace within high-visibility programs with tight delivery milestones.\n\nFeed field learnings back into the Silkrunner product roadmap.\n\nRequirements:\nProven experience in a forward deployed, solution architect, solution engineering, or implementation consulting role - actual delivery with customers, not just theoretical knowledge.\n\nA consultant mindset: comfortable sitting with senior stakeholders, extracting how their business actually works, and scoping it into something buildable.\n\nStrong grasp of enterprise business processes (procurement, HR, finance, legal, or security operations).\n\nTechnical depth to understand platform capabilities, design agent workflows, and work credibly with engineering teams.\n\nExperience mapping customer requirements onto a product platform (e.g., Palantir, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, or their implementation partners).\n\nA startup mindset - fast-moving, autonomous, and ready to lead by doing in ambiguous, high-pressure delivery environments.\n\nBased in or willing to relocate to the UAE, with regular on-site presence with customers.\n\nNice to Have:\nPrior forward deployed experience at Palantir or a comparable company, ideally in the UAE or wider Gulf region.\n\nExperience delivering into government or public sector programs in the UAE.\n\nHands-on experience with LLMs and agentic systems (prompt design, tool use, multi-agent workflows).\n\nArabic language skills.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3887,"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":[{"language":"Arabic","level":"All levels","optional":true}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Arab Emirates","iso":"AE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-14T02:11:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.716,"p_room":0.72,"age_days":103,"expected_fill_days":174,"reasons":["conf:1","win:mid","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/spidersilk-forward-deployed-engineer-silkrunner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/spidersilk-forward-deployed-engineer-silkrunner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T00:31:40Z","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":757,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":694348},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=694348"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fspidersilk-forward-deployed-engineer-silkrunner"},{"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%2Fspidersilk-forward-deployed-engineer-silkrunner"},{"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%2Fspidersilk-forward-deployed-engineer-silkrunner"},{"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/spidersilk-forward-deployed-engineer-silkrunner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fspidersilk-forward-deployed-engineer-silkrunner"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":882970}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"spidersilk.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":882970},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
