About us

Oligo is a fast-growing cybersecurity startup transforming how organizations protect their applications, cloud environments, and AI systems at runtime. Backed by top-tier investors including Greenfield Partners, Red Dot Capital Partners, Lightspeed, Ballistic Ventures, and TLV Partners, we're on a mission to make real-time security a reality.

Oligo's industry's leading runtime security platform built to stop attacks in real time without stopping the business. We transform security from passive visibility to active protection across applications, cloud services, workloads, and AI systems. By uncovering the deepest layers of what actually runs in production, Oligo helps organizations prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities, detect malicious behavior as it happens, and stop modern attacks in their tracks.

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to serve as the deep technical partner for our largest and most strategic accounts. You'll be working closely with our dev, product, and support teams, while building strong, trust-based relationships with customers' security engineers and executives alike. This is a hands-on, highly technical role for someone who can go deep into a customer's environment, infrastructure, and tech stack, and who's comfortable both in the weeds with engineers and in the room with executives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for our largest and most strategic accounts
  • Build deep, trust-based relationships with customers’ security engineers, platform teams, and CISOs by developing a thorough understanding of their workflows, teams, infrastructure, and tech stack
  • Own complex deployments end to end, from architecture design through rollout across large production estates
  • Build and ship inside the customer’s environment - custom integrations, automation, and tooling that close the gap between what Oligo does out of the box and what the customer actually needs
  • Author and tune runtime policies for customer-specific workloads, traffic patterns, and risk tolerance
  • Design and deliver integrations into customer SIEM, SOAR, data lake, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Debug at the systems level - sensor behavior, performance overhead, kernel and runtime interactions - and drive root cause together with R&D
  • Support deployments in regulated and air-gapped environments, including FedRAMP-authorized
  • Travel to customer sites to strengthen relationships and support technical initiatives on the ground
  • Work hand-in-hand with our dev, product, and support teams in Israel to advocate for customer needs and drive resolution of technical issues
  • Turn repeat field work into product - feed reusable deployment patterns, tooling, and reference architectures back to R&D so the next deployment is faster than the last
  • Translate deep technical detail into business impact for executive stakeholders
  • Proactively identify risks and opportunities within accounts, partnering with Customer Success and Sales on account strategy
