C1 is the first AI-native identity security platform that protects every identity: human, non-human, and AI. With powerful automation, platform-level AI, and out-of-the-box connectors, it centralizes access visibility, enforces fine-grained controls, enables just-in-time access, and automates user access reviews across all apps. It’s easy to use, quick to deploy, and trusted by enterprises like DigitalOcean, Instacart, Ramp, and Zscaler.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at C1 you’ll embed with customers and with our product teams to build the integrations, automation, and bespoke workflows that make identity infrastructure reliable, safe, and delightfully simple to operate. You’ll split your time between customer sites (remotely or onsite), product engineering, and customer-facing problem solving — shipping production-safe software, running connector deployments, and turning customer needs into scalable product features.
You’ll be the technical bridge between product, engineering, and customers: designing and implementing connectors, automating identity workflows, and helping customers adopt best-practice identity controls. Expect variety — one week you’re writing a Baton connector to a legacy HR system, the next you’re collaborating with an internal team to add needed product functionality, and the next you’re building custom workflows atop the C1 platform.
