Who We Are

AmberBox is the industry leader in gunshot detection and response technology. We help Fortune 100 corporations, schools, hospitals, government departments and airports protect their staff and visitors from the threat of workplace violence, automating the emergency response process in an incident. AmberBox is a Silicon Valley VC-backed, rapidly scaling company, and we are looking for individuals that share our vision and experimentative approach.

About The Job

As a Forward Deployed Software Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of engineering and customer success — working directly with our clients to understand their unique operational environments and translating those needs into shipped software. You'll partner closely with PMs and other engineers to scope, build, and deploy features that solve real problems for Fortune 100 corporations, schools, professional sports teams, and more.

Day-to-day, this means adapting our platform to fit complex customer environments — whether that's integrating with a customer’s existing security infrastructure, customizing alerting workflows for a business’s operations team, or configuring platforms to address client needs. You'll move fast, context-switch often, and take end-to-end ownership of features from customer conversation to production deployment.

This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, enjoy direct customer exposure, and want to see the real-world impact of the software they write.

Skills & Experience:

  • Strong proficiency in typed languages (Java, Kotlin, C++, C#, or TypeScript), back-end frameworks (Spring, Express/Inversify/typeORM), and front-end tools (Angular, React, Vue, or NextJS).
  • Experience designing RESTful APIs, implementing modern auth mechanisms (JWTs, SSO/SAML), and deploying with Kubernetes/Helm.
