## About the role

PagerDuty is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer (SRE Agent) to join our customer-focused SRE Agent team! As a Forward Deployed Engineer , you will work inside PagerDuty’s largest customer accounts, connecting the SRE Agent to their production environments (observability tools, infrastructure as code, GitOps tooling, and CI/CD pipelines) and guiding their teams from AI-assisted incident response to supervised and autonomous actions with safety guardrails. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience building and shipping production software across team boundaries (assessed against PagerDuty Staff Engineer / SDE V expectations)
- Hands-on experience with LLM and agent systems in production, including agent development, tool-use frameworks (MCP or equivalent), evaluation pipelines, and guardrail design
- Customer-facing skills. You can run a technical design session with a customer’s engineers and present the business case to their leadership
- A record of shipping software that got adopted, and the judgment to recognize which customer requests generalize and when the right answer is not to build
- Willingness to travel 25–50% during active customer engagements
