EngineeringMumbai, IndiaFull-time

About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer at IQWorks, you will be the technical bridge between our platform and our enterprise customers. You will work on-site and remotely with clients to understand their data protection challenges, deploy and configure the IQWorks platform, build custom integrations, and ensure successful adoption. This is a high-impact role where your engineering skills directly translate to customer outcomes.

What You Will Do

  • Deploy and configure the IQWorks platform for enterprise clients across industries including healthcare, finance, and e-commerce
  • Build custom integrations connecting IQWorks with client data systems, identity providers, and compliance workflows
  • Collaborate with clients to translate complex data protection requirements into technical solutions
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production issues with urgency, working across time zones when needed
  • Feed customer insights back to the product and engineering teams to shape the platform roadmap
  • Write technical documentation and runbooks for client-specific deployments
  • Own the technical relationship with assigned accounts from deployment through ongoing support

What We Are Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions engineering, or a customer-facing technical role
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React; familiarity with Next.js preferred
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and database systems (PostgreSQL, Supabase)
  • Ability to understand and work with REST APIs, webhooks, and OAuth/SAML-based authentication flows
  • Excellent communication skills — you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
  • Comfort working independently in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with minimal hand-holding
  • Willingness to travel within India for client engagements as needed

Nice to Have

  • Experience with data privacy regulations (DPDPA, GDPR, HIPAA, or similar)
  • Background in data classification, PII detection, or security tooling
  • Prior experience at an early-stage startup or in a consulting/professional services role
  • Familiarity with Supabase, Auth0, or similar managed infrastructure
