About the Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will deploy, extend, and integrate our secure Kubernetes platform (ACRA) into real-world customer workflows. You will partner directly with end-users to understand their operational constraints, adapt containerized workloads to their infrastructure, and provide feedback to the core platform team. You will write production Go, build React frontend components, configure microservices, and orchestrate Kubernetes workloads while collaborating across frontend, core backend, infrastructure, and AI teams to deliver client outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Build backend microservices, APIs, and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) in Go to integrate ACRA into diverse customer environments.
- Translate ambiguous client security requirements and user workflows into practical technical implementations.
- Develop containerized applications, Helm charts, and event-driven microservices running on customer K8s platforms.
- Partner with embedded DevOps/Infra specialists and ML/AI engineers, keeping client value at the center.
- Identify recurring integration patterns and work with core engineering to turn custom client fixes into standardized platform features.
Requirements
- Strong hands-on experience building microservices, REST/gRPC APIs, or event-driven backend systems in Go.
- Deep familiarity with Docker, K8s manifests, Helm charts, GitOps workflows (Argo/Flux), relational databases (RDBs), KV Caches, and Event Buses.
- Demonstrated experience interfacing with external clients, solutions architects, or cross-functional teams to solve real operational problems.
- Clear understanding of workload isolation, secrets management, identity-aware communication, and failure domain boundaries.
- Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where debugging spans client applications, networking layers, and platform code.

About the Company
- Valarian Technologies is a dual-use technology company building critical tools to safeguard the future in an era of evolving global security challenges.
- We're rethinking security beyond traditional military domains, addressing asymmetric threats that impact our technological advantage, economic strength, and democratic institutions.
- We build Acra – the platform foundation for everything we do as a dual-use technology company.
- The platform’s name, rooted in the Greek word for citadel (or, fortress), reflects the design and purpose of our infrastructure-agnostic secure enclaves: protecting critical data.
- Some of the government and commercial workflows include: increased operational resiliency for mission-critical systems and functions; enabling organisations to more quickly and widely adopt emerging technologies while ensuring the integrity of their intellectual property; information flow during disaster response scenarios, and zero-trust / least-privilege environments for M&A, attorney-client privileged communications, etc.
- At our core, we're driven by a shared mission and a belief in making a tangible impact on our world.
- Whether you join our London HQ or the wider global organisation, you’ll be a part of collaborative, high-performing teams, creating cutting-edge software, platforms, and infrastructure.
- Our culture is built on inclusivity, compassion and flexibility – we want everyone to be empowered to achieve their goals at Valarian.
- The work we do is vital, but so are the connections that make it happen.
- We thrive on the shared energy, spontaneous conversations, and mutual trust built when we spend time together.
- We operate on a hybrid model, gathering in our London office 3 days a week to support one another and collaborate.
Equal Opportunity
- We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.
- These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment.
- Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
