Stacklok is led by CEO Craig McLuckie and CTO Joe Beda, two of the creators of Kubernetes. As AI reshapes how software is built and used, we're building the foundation enterprises need to adopt it with confidence.
We're building the control plane for enterprise AI agents, enabling organizations to run, govern, and secure them on the infrastructure they already trust. Through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers running across Kubernetes and private cloud environments, AI agents can securely connect to internal data and systems while meeting the security, compliance, and operational requirements of highly regulated and security-conscious organizations. We've also extended this foundation to the model layer with an enterprise AI gateway.
The Stacklok Enterprise Platform is built on ToolHive, our open source MCP platform, and is already being adopted by leading technology companies and organizations in regulated industries. We also help maintain the official MCP registry and contribute openly to the community shaping the future of enterprise AI.
This is a remote role based in Singapore. Candidates must live and work in Singapore and be legally authorized to work in Singapore.
As a Staff Forward Deployed Engineer for Stacklok, you will serve as the technical lead for APAC and help build the region. This is hands-on work in the field: embedding with enterprise customers, taking them from first evaluation to production deployment, and answering the toughest technical questions that emerge along the way. As demand across APAC accelerates, you will own how Stacklok lands with every customer in the region.
Beyond customer engagements, the role helps shape technical direction across APAC, establish deployment patterns the broader organization builds on, and mentor engineers across the team. Field experience feeds directly into design reviews and roadmap discussions, ensuring customer realities help drive product and engineering decisions.
The technical depth is substantial. The work spans complex Kubernetes deployments and the operational constraints of large enterprise environments, solving the problems that determine whether AI initiatives successfully reach production. It is an opportunity to shape how AI reaches production across some of the most demanding organizations in the region.
We do not expect every candidate to meet every point below. If this role excites you and you bring most of it, we encourage you to apply.
