About Us

Autonomous Cyber builds AI for end-to-end cyber. We’re building hacking systems from the ground up. Not just calling models, but controlling how agents think, coordinate, use tools, manage context, and work through complex, high-impact problems over long runs. It’s a small team, high ownership, lots of building and rebuilding, and a lot of fun if you’re excited to probe the limits of what LLMs can do.

We know AI is reshaping the 5th domain. Our mission is to ensure that US and allies survive and thrive in the coming era of agentic cyber competition.

We do real offense, and we move fast. If you want to deploy cutting-edge systems, go deep in user environments, and help shape the product, you should drop us a note.


The Role

Autonomous Cyber is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to serve as the tip of the spear for delivering our AI cyber platform to mission users.

You’ll report directly to the COO and be on the front lines of deploying cutting-edge technology to government customers. This is a customer-facing, high-impact role where technical expertise meets mission. You’ll act as the “field CTO” to our users: advising, integrating, troubleshooting, and shaping the future of our product in real-time based on live operations.

We’re a fast-moving team of engineers, cyber operators, and national security professionals building tools that push the boundaries of what AI can do in the 5th domain. As part of our FDE team, you’ll help us scale that capability to the field.
