The posting

Our client is an early-stage national-security technology company building agentic AI systems for U.S. intelligence, defense, and law-enforcement missions. Founded in 2025 and backed by $16.5M in seed funding, the company is already deploying with government customers.

This Forward Deployed Engineer is a core engineer at the point of contact with high-consequence customers. You will write production code, extend the platform, and personally deploy agentic AI systems into sensitive government environments. You will own the full arc from scoping and integration through live operation and customer trust.

What you'll do

• Build production features and extend agent capabilities with the core engineering team.

• Deploy and operate agentic AI systems in government and defense environments.

• Own integrations, infrastructure, live operation, troubleshooting, and technical customer relationships.

• Build rapid prototypes and field-expedient solutions under ambiguous conditions.

• Turn field requirements and edge cases into durable product improvements.

• Maintain infrastructure across varied hardware, networking, and security environments.

• Travel periodically to federal customer sites, primarily in the Washington, D.C. and DMV area.

Requirements

• 4 to 7 years of experience as a software engineer or Forward Deployed Engineer.

• Strong engineering fundamentals and production Python fluency.

• Comfort with Linux, shell scripting, integrations, infrastructure, and hands-on debugging.

• Experience owning a deployment end to end in a client-facing or internal environment.

• Experience doing technical work in an unstructured, customer-facing, or field environment.

• Success in a high-bar engineering organization, ideally a venture-backed startup or leading defense-technology company.

• Strong communication, judgment, urgency, and independent execution.

• U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a security clearance. An active clearance is strongly preferred.

• Ability to work five days per week in the New York City office and travel periodically to federal customers.

Benefits

• $180,000 to $250,000 base salary.

• 0.30% to 0.48% equity.

• Relocation support is available.

• Direct ownership of mission-critical deployments and core product development.

• Opportunity to join a small, high-caliber team at an early stage.

This role cannot sponsor visas. Candidates must be U.S. citizens and eligible to obtain a security clearance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
