Forward Deployed Engineer
A field engineering role embedded with Coralogix's strategic enterprise accounts in Gurugram: scoping ambiguous customer needs and building production-grade custom observability and security solutions, with a strong focus on agentic AI workflows, then feeding repeatable patterns back into the product. Core work spans observability (logs, metrics, traces), SIEM, and LLM/MCP-based systems.

Full description
About Coralogix
Coralogix is a full-stack observability and security platform - logs, metrics, traces, and SIEM analysed in-stream at petabyte scale, stored in the customer's own data lake, and increasingly driven by our agentic AI layer (AI agent Olly, MCP server, CLI). Founded in 2015, headquartered in Boston, and backed by leading investors including Advent International, Brighton Park Capital, and Greenfield Partners with over $500M in funding.
What sets Coralogix apart as a platform to build on is the combination of data depth and architectural openness. Because the platform's architecture makes full-fidelity retention viable at scale, customers hold their complete operational and security picture in their own data lake - no sampling, no gaps, no third party holding the keys. Every layer is then programmatic - APIs, SDKs, and dev tools built for custom solutions - creating an unusually rich and open foundation for the work ahead.ating requisitions 'from scratch'
The role
Our most strategic customers need more than a platform. They need an engineer who deploys, customizes, and builds alongside them. Enterprise environments are complex - multiple clouds, legacy infrastructure, custom deployments, multiple tools - and what these customers need often extends well beyond what any platform delivers as standard.
The Forward Deployed Engineer closes that gap. You are an engineer embedded in Tier-1 accounts, working at the edge of what customers need next - requirements that evolve continuously as enterprises scale, innovate, and push the boundaries of what observability and security can do for them. This is field-deployed R&D. It is not account management and it is not support.
What you will do
Every engagement starts by getting to the real problem - translating an ambiguous or evolving customer requirement into a concrete, scoped technical plan before a line of code is written. You build the new functionality that emerges from evolving customer requirements - net-new use cases with a clear path to other customers and/or back to the product, customisations that extend existing capabilities where out-of-the-box configurations fall short, and critical features that unlock adoption or expansion with strategic accounts. You build in production-grade code, not prototypes, working closely with both in-house and customer observability and security teams - you build, they define the logic - ensuring domain validity in everything that ships. AI is central to both how you build and what you build: as a development accelerator and as the core ingredient in your solutions, with a particular focus on autonomous, multi-step agentic AI workflows. Every engagement is engineered for repeatability, and you work closely with R&D throughout - feeding back field patterns and the solutions you have built - so the best of what you ship is assessed, hardened, and absorbed into the platform. You are accountable for the outcomes in your accounts, not just the builds - adoption, retention, and time-to-value are yours to move.
