At JFrog, we are reinventing DevOps to help the world’s greatest companies innovate. Thousands of customers, including the majority of the Fortune 100, trust JFrog to manage, accelerate, and secure their software delivery through our concept of "liquid software". This is a special place where your career can take off if you enjoy working with brilliant, spirited people on an important global mission.

A Different Kind of Forward Deployed AI Strategist - you will be embedded directly into the San Francisco AI ecosystem. Modeled after elite archetype roles at OpenAI and Anthropic, your "customer" is the entire SF AI community, and your ultimate deliverable is intelligence.

This is a high-trust role, as you will work directly under the CTO. You will represent JFrog as a peer, not a pitch. Everything you learn about emerging tools, working patterns, and enterprise pain points will directly shape our product, strategy, and roadmap.

What you'll do
