Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), Cyber - NYC

You’ll build systems that give defenders an advantage at a scale few engineering teams encounter. You might help an enterprise identify, test, and deploy patches across hundreds of thousands of code repositories, or help a security team analyze petabytes of logs for signs of malicious agents or coordinated attacks. Across these deployments, you’ll build tools that customer engineers can trust to support consequential security decisions.

You’ll work directly with customer security teams, from CISOs to frontline analysts. As AI changes how attackers operate, you’ll help these teams determine where their defenses need to evolve, prioritize what to build, and validate solutions with the engineers who will operate them. Alongside OpenAI’s account teams, you’ll translate security priorities into deployed systems that help defenders cover more ground.

You’ll also help shape what OpenAI builds next. When you identify a gap between what defenders need and what today’s models or products can do, you’ll partner with Research and Product to define, build, and test capabilities that address it.
