Forward Deployed Engineer

About the Role

Join a team delivering AI-native software for state, local, and federal government clients. You will own technical delivery from initial discovery through deployment, helping modernize legacy systems and improve public services.

What You'll Do

• Meet with government clients to understand needs, design solutions, build software, and deliver projects end to end.

• Use AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Factory in your daily development workflow.

• Build reusable components, data models, and workflows that can support future deployments.

• Work directly with non-technical stakeholders, balancing client collaboration with hands-on building.

• Travel occasionally to client sites, approximately five days per quarter.

What We're Looking For

• One to five years of experience as a forward deployed engineer or customer-facing software engineer.

• Experience owning a technical deployment from initial build through customer adoption and post-deployment maintenance.

• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools as a core part of your daily workflow.

• Strong software engineering skills across backend, frontend, data modeling, and workflow development; familiarity with AWS and legacy data systems is relevant.

• A degree in computer science, engineering, or an equivalent technical field, or comparable technical experience.

• Experience in an early-stage technology company or in public sector, govtech, or government-facing work is helpful.
