The Lead Forward Deployed Engineer operates at the intersection of engineering, data, and customer deployment. In this hands-on, customer-facing role, you will lead complex enterprise onboardings to integrate, transform, and operationalize cybersecurity data into Qualys’ Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) platform. You will translate fragmented security environments into a unified risk model while bridging the gap between customer needs and core product engineering.
Key Responsibilities
Customer Onboarding & Data Integration
Strategic Execution: Lead end-to-end enterprise onboarding from strategy to production rollout, serving as the system of record for customer assets, findings, and business context.
Pipeline & API Design: Build REST API, webhook, and scalable ingestion (e.g., S3-based ETL/ELT) pipelines to integrate diverse data sources (VM, EDR/XDR, Cloud, IAM, CMDBs, GRC).
Data Modeling & Correlation: Design custom mapping, transformation, tagging, and asset criticality scoring; implement de-duplication and correlation logic across heterogeneous security feeds.
Pipeline Reliability: Ensure continuous full and incremental data ingestion with automated scheduling, monitoring, and error handling.
Data Quality & Validation
Data Integrity: Establish scalable validation frameworks to audit and maintain asset/findings accuracy for confident risk decision-making.
Issue Resolution: Execute controlled reprocessing and configuration adjustments to fix data quality issues without disrupting operational metrics.
Dashboards, Remediation & Workflows
Analytics & Modeling: Build customized dashboards, trend visualizations, and risk scoring models, including complex "toxic risk combination" scenarios.
Workflow Automation: Integrate ETM with ticketing/remediation tools (Jira, ServiceNow) and configure automated alerts, escalations, and ownership mapping.
Executive Reporting: Develop custom reports/utilities using public APIs for board-level, operational, and regulatory audience
