Professional Services Engineer

Professional Services Engineer

Redherd is assisting a leading security engineering team in finding a hands‑on Professional Services Engineer who enjoys solving complex security problems and helping customers stay ahead of attackers.

We work with some of the most respected security teams in the world, connecting top talent with organisations that build cutting‑edge defensive capabilities.

About the Role

This opportunity sits at the intersection of technical problem‑solving, customer engagement, and creative security engineering.

You'll work closely with customers to ensure they get the most value out of their security products, while also helping to shape how those products evolve. The team behind this role is known for building simple, powerful security tools trusted by defenders around the world.

They pride themselves on thoughtful engineering, strong customer support, and shipping technology that genuinely makes a difference.

This is a high‑impact role in a small, technically exceptional team. You'll wear multiple hats — sometimes guiding customers through advanced deployments, other times scripting automations to make their lives easier, and often brainstorming clever ways to detect and frustrate attackers.

What You'll Do

• Engage with customers to understand their security challenges and goals.
• Provide hands‑on support, walkthroughs, and product demonstrations.
• Build tools and scripts to automate deployments and streamline operations.
• Review customer environments, run health checks, and tune configurations for optimal coverage.
• Research and develop PoCs for new detection ideas and bring new capabilities into the product.
• Contribute to internal tooling, documentation, and process improvements.
• Act as a customer advocate, helping shape future product features.
