Hiring: Director of Forward Deployed Engineering Company: TENEX.AI Location: Sarasota, FL Job Posted Time: 2026-09-12 13:18:52 Target Skills & Keywords : AWS, CI/CD, GCP, IaC, Logstash, Product Management, SIEM, Terraform About the job Experience: •8+ years in security engineering, security operations, or detection engineering, with 3+ years managing engineers (ideally managing leads/managers). Required Skills: •This is an engineering leadership role, not an advisory or product-building one. The team implements and manages the platforms and works closely with the teams that deliver advisory engagements and develop agentic use cases; deploying and integrating what they produce and relaying field context back to them. •Own time-to-protection across our supported platforms — the speed and repeatability of standing up Google SecOps, Microsoft Sentinel, and the Tenex Platform in customer environments for example. •Lead multi-SIEM engineering — build, deploy, and manage pipelines, parsers, detections, playbooks and other configuration across Google SecOps, Microsoft Sentinel, and the Tenex Platform. •Own integrations — data-source onboarding, connector/API work, and normalization that wire the customer's environment and security tooling into the SIEMs and the Tenex Platform; build integration patterns that get reused, not rebuilt. •Own context engineering — the data mappings, entity resolution, tuning, and environment knowledge that make the platforms actually perform per customer. •Own ongoing platform management — health, optimization, and lifecycle of deployed platforms across the book of business. •Build the repeatable delivery machine — playbooks, intake, quality gates, and a capacity model that let the team scale against pipeline instead of heroics. •Lead and scale the team — hire, coach, and develop the engineers responsible for platform implementation, content, and integration; manage capacity against the customer pipeline; own delivery quality, SLOs, and OKRs. Qualifications: •SOAR / automation (Chronicle SOAR, Sentinel automation rules & playbooks). •Pipeline and telemetry tooling (Bindplane, Logstash, or equivalent). •Terraform / IaC for repeatable environment standup. •Prior MSSP / MDR / managed security services experience. •90-day: Multi-SIEM delivery playbooks and quality gates in place. Time-to-protection baseline measured across SecOps and Sentinel deployments. Team capacity model built against pipeline. Support/relay interfaces with the advisory and agentic engineering functions defined and agreed. •6-month: Measurable reduction in time-to-protection across both SIEMs. Integration patterns reused rather than rebuilt. Ongoing platform management running to a defined health/optimization cadence. Team staffed to plan. •12-month: A repeatable, metric-driven multi-platform delivery machine that scales sub-linearly to customer growth. Managed platforms healthy across the book. The "we support, they own" interfaces to the advisory and agentic engineering functions running smoothly, with no scope drift in either direction. •Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience) •Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GIAC certifications, Google Cloud Professional, Microsoft SC-200/AZ-500, or AWS Certified Solutions Architect are a plus Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
