Application Engineer

ph3Job description /h3pFortaegis builds hardware-based security technology and products. We're looking for an Application Engineer who can sit at the intersection of customers, product, core engineering, and RD, turning Fortaegis technology and products into working, custom solutions for real customer environments. /ppThis is a hands-on, high-visibility role. You'll be the technical bridge between what customers need and what our engineering and RD teams build, designing and building custom applications on top of Fortaegis technology and products, standing up and maintaining demo/PoC platforms, and being a trusted technical voice in customer conversations. /ph3Job requirements /h3ullipbSoftware engineering experience /b, ideally with some exposure tobembedded systems /b (firmware, low-level networking stacks, hardware-software interfaces, or similar). /p /lilipStrongbfundamentals in networking /b, L2/L3 concepts, Ethernet, IP, NAT, VLANs, routing/switching basics, and comfort reasoning about network topology and traffic flow. /p /lilipDemonstrated experiencebworking directly with customers /b, technical discovery, solutioning, troubleshooting live issues, or supporting deployments in customer environments. /p /lilipAbility to build and maintain applications end-to-end: comfortable writing production-quality code, not just scripts or prototypes. /p /lilipStrong communication skills, able to translate between customer language, product language, and engineering language without losing precision. /p /lilipSelf-directed and comfortable with ambiguity, this role sits across teams and will often need to define its own scope. /p /li /ulh3Nice to Have /h3ullipPrior experience working with or deployingbnetwork security products /b (encryptors, firewalls, VPN appliances, NAC/access-control systems, or similar). /p /lilipExperience with cryptographic concepts (PKI, symmetric/asymmetric key infrastructure) /p /lilipExperience building or supporting customer-facing demo environments, sandboxes, or lab infrastructure. /p /lilipBackground in a hardware security, telecom, or defense/critical-infrastructure customer segment. /p /li /ulh3Job responsibilities /h3ullipWork directly with customers to understand their network environments, security requirements, and integration constraints, translating these into technical requirements for the product and engineering teams. /p /lilipDesign, build, and maintainbcustom applications and integrations /b on top of Fortaegis technology and products to meet specific customer or partner use cases. /p /lilipBuild and maintainbdemo and proof-of-concept platforms /b, reliable, repeatable environments used in customer evaluations, trials, and technical sales conversations. /p /lilipAct as the technical liaison acrossbProduct, Core Engineering, and RD /b, feeding customer and field insight back into the roadmap and pulling engineering context out to customers and partners. /p /lilipSupport pre-sales and post-sales technical engagements: solution scoping, technical demonstrations, PoC execution, and troubleshooting in customer environments. /p /lilipOwn the technical relationship through deployment, from initial technical discovery through integration, testing, and go-live support. /p /lilipProduce clear technical documentation (integration guides, deployment notes, demo runbooks) so solutions are repeatable and supportable beyond you. /p /lilipProvide field feedback on product gaps, edge cases, and customer-driven feature requests to Product and RD. /p /li /ulh3Additional information /h3pYou won't be building in a vacuum, every application and demo you build will be shaped by real customer conversations, and every customer conversation you have will be informed by direct access to the people building the underlying technology. If you like working close to both the customer and the core engineering, and want ownership over how a hard security product actually gets deployed in the field, this role is built for that. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
