Forward Deployed Engineer - Agents

Okta

Secure Every Identity, from AI to Human Identity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era. This work requires a relentless drive to solve complex challenges with real-world stakes. We are looking for builders and owners who operate with speed and urgency and execute with excellence. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk. ABOUT OKTA FOR AI AGENTS Okta secures access for 20,000 organizations and billions of users. Okta for AI Agents extends that work to the agentic shift. Deploying an AI agent is not like deploying traditional software. You are putting professional work output into production, and it needs deep integration, continuous tuning, and change management. Every agent needs an identity, a scope, an audit trail, and a way to be shut down when it goes wrong. Most enterprises have not built this yet. We are. We hire builders who see the cracks in enterprise agent identity that everyone else has learned to live with. THE ROLE You are the most senior technical field authority for agent identity at Okta. Where a Senior FDE owns the outcome inside one account, you own the patterns that every account and every FDE inherits. You take the hardest and most strategic deployments yourself, set the reference architecture the team builds from, and turn what the field learns into the direction the product takes. You still write code. You also multiply the people around you, and you are the person product and engineering leadership call when an agent identity problem has no precedent. RESPONSIBILITIES * Own the reference architecture. Define the canonical agent identity, delegation, audit, and kill-switch patterns that Senior FDEs deploy across the portfolio, and keep them current as the standards and the product move. * Lead the hardest accounts. Personally own the most strategic, regulated, or technically novel deployments, the ones where there is no playbook yet. * Raise the technical bar. Review other FDEs’ architectures, coach senior customer engineers and your own team, and set the standard for what good looks like in the field. * Shape the roadmap. Synthesize patterns across every account into a clear point of view, and work directly with product and engineering leadership to prioritize what ships next. * Represent Okta as a technical authority. Brief CISO, CIO, and Chief AI Officer audiences, contribute to the standards and frameworks shaping agent identity, and carry the external technical voice. * Resolve what others cannot. Step into the hardest technical and political situations across accounts and find the path forward. * Set the standard for evals and observability. Define how the team measures authorization latency, scope sprawl, delegation anomalies, audit completeness, and kill-switch verification, so it scales beyond any single customer. * Build the team’s leverage. Turn recurring field work into reusable modules, internal tooling, and enablement so the whole FDE function moves faster. REQUIREMENTS * Engineering depth. 10+ years shipping production software, with deep distributed systems and identity experience and a track record of staying hands-on while setting direction. * Authority-level identity protocols. OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, RFC 8693 token exchange, act claims, CIMD and DCR, DPoP. Contribution to standards or open source is a plus. * Deep agent security fluency. OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, plus MCP, A2A, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act, with the judgment to apply them in HIPAA, FedRAMP, and SOC 2 environments. * Expert fine-grained authorization. ReBAC and ABAC with policy engines (OPA, Cedar, OpenFGA, or equivalent), and command of the design tradeoffs at scale. * Proven AI hands-on. Production integrations across the major agent platforms and MCP, and daily AI-native development. * Force multiplier. A record of setting technical direction across multiple teams or accounts, and of mentoring senior engineers. * Customer-facing authority. Credible from the IDE to the boardroom, trusted by CISOs and principal engineers alike, and steady when account politics get sharp. * High agency, founder’s mindset. Applied to building a function, not just an account. * Ability to travel, on occasion, up to 35% #LI-Remote (P24675_3470403) Below is the annual On Target Compensation (OTE) range for candidates located in the United Kingdom.

Adaptyv Bio

Adaptyv is building an automated lab that lets AI agents run biology experiments. We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world. We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today. Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development. We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation. ABOUT THE ROLE You're the bridge between Adaptyv's lab and the people designing proteins. Protein design platforms, pharma teams, AI labs, and biotech startups all have the same problem: they can generate designs far faster than they can test them. Your job is to close that gap — to embed with a customer, understand their pipeline, and wire Adaptyv's API into their stack so that designing, building, and testing proteins becomes one continuous loop instead of a series of handoffs. This is a deeply technical, customer-facing role. You'll write real code in production systems — ours and, often, theirs. You'll go from a first integration call to a working pipeline that's submitting experiments and pulling results automatically. And you'll bring everything you learn in the field back to our product and engineering teams, so the integrations get easier every time. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Embed with customers — protein design platforms, pharma, AI labs, biotechs — to understand how they design proteins and where Adaptyv fits in their loop. * Integrate our API into their pipelines: submitting designs, tracking experiments, and pulling structured results back into their models and data stores. * Build the glue — SDKs, client libraries, scripts, and small services — that makes the integration clean, reliable, and easy to maintain. * Design the data flow between their design stack and our lab so a model's output becomes a real experiment, and real measurements flow back automatically. * Prototype quickly, then harden what works into something production-grade. * Be the technical voice of the customer internally — turn what you learn in the field into improvements to our API, docs, and product. * Help turn first integrations into durable, expanding partnerships. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Strong software engineer. You write production code (Python and/or TypeScript), design clean APIs and integrations, and can own a system end to end. * Customer-facing instinct. You're energized by working directly with users, translating a vague need into a concrete technical plan, and shipping something they actually use. * Fast and autonomous. You parachute into an unfamiliar codebase or pipeline, figure out what matters, and get a working integration live without waiting for a spec. * AI-native builder. It's 2026 — you build with coding agents like Claude Code as a default, and you have sharp judgment about what they produce. * API and integration experience. You've built or consumed real APIs, handled auth, webhooks, retries, and messy real-world data flows between systems. * Comfortable with ambiguity. Every customer's stack is different; you like that. * Interest in biology, protein design, or ML for science is a strong plus — you don't need a bio background, but you should be excited to learn the domain and talk credibly with scientists. DETAILS * Location: Lausanne, Switzerland or remote/hybrid, occasionally travel to customers. * Type: Full time * Start date: ASAP We review applications on a rolling basis. Application deadline We are reviewing applicants on a rolling basis.
