Forward Deployed Site Reliability Engineer

ABOUT THE COMPANY

America is under sustained cyber attack. Our adversaries infiltrate our networks, steal our IP, and degrade the digital infrastructure that modern life runs on. They’ve learned—correctly—that those attacks rarely produce consequences.

Twenty was founded to change that, by making our adversaries think twice before they attack us. Our vision is American and allied primacy in cyberspace—a future where they cannot contest us, deterrence is assured, and the free world remains secure.

Founded in 2024, Twenty Technologies (www.twenty.io http://www.twenty.io) industrializes offensive cyber operations for the U.S. and its allies. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, Twenty has raised $138M from Accel, Caffeinated Capital, Friends & Family Capital, Point72 Ventures, General Catalyst, and In-Q-Tel.

 

ROLE SUMMARY

You'll be our eyes, ears, and hands on the ground at a government customer site, ensuring the reliability and performance of Twenty's mission-critical platform running in a restricted, air-gapped AWS environment. This role sits at the intersection of deep technical ownership and customer-facing engineering: you'll define how we measure reliability, lead incident response in a constrained environment, and serve as the primary technical link between what's happening on-site and the engineering team back in Arlington. You'll work closely with the DevSecOps engineer to ensure the platform operates within government security and compliance requirements, and with product engineers to translate operational reality into actionable feedback. You'll report directly to the VP of Engineering. If you thrive operating with autonomy in high-stakes environments and find satisfaction in making complex systems provably reliable, this role is for you.

WHO YOU ARE

- You own reliability outcomes, not just uptime dashboards — you define what "healthy" means and hold the system to it.

- You're as comfortable writing a runbook as you are deep in a product...
