About The Position

We are seeking a highly capable and results-driven professional to join our team in the role of Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to join our Reveal Private Deployment (RPD) team. This position plays a key role in supporting the organization's goals by contributing to bridge Reveal’s cloud-native engineering capabilities with customer-hosted environments and requires a customer-first mindset. The successful candidate is a blend of customer-facing engineer, technical expert, and natural problem solver. You will lead implementations, provide expert technical recommendations, and identify opportunities for continuous improvement in both customer environments and internal deployment processes. You bring strong Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code expertise, along with the ability to engage directly with enterprise customers during all phases.

While this role is primarily remote, you’ll still enjoy strong connectivity with your team and clients. You’ll have access to a collaborative network of colleagues who are committed to timely and effective client support. Our team culture emphasizes communication, responsiveness, and shared success—no matter where you're working from. We provide the tools and support needed to thrive in a virtual environment, ensuring you feel connected and empowered every step of the way.
