About the role

  • This is not a traditional product or platform engineering role.
  • You will spend the majority of your time (80-100%) embedded with customers, working independently in classified or constrained environments.
  • Success in this role requires autonomy, strong communication, and the ability to ship practical solutions quickly.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build custom applications and workflows ("app packs") on top of the platform
  • Collaborate with product engineering and agentic solution teams to influence roadmap and capabilities
  • Build lightweight UI components and interfaces where needed to support workflows
  • Support deployment, troubleshooting, and ongoing iteration of solutions in the field
  • You won't be building features that may or may not get used-you'll be building systems that are immediately deployed and tested in the field.
  • If you want to work close to the mission, own outcomes end-to-end, and have a direct hand in shaping both product and customer success, this is the role.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in Forward Deployed Engineering, Solution Engineering, or similar customer-facing technical roles
  • Proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar scripting languages
  • Experience integrating with enterprise systems (e.g., Microsoft O365, Palantir Foundry, Databricks, ServiceNow, Atlassian)
  • Proven ability to operate autonomously and solve ambiguous problems
  • Experience building and shipping full-stack applications or prototypes in production or near-production environments
  • Ability to build simple UI/UX using frameworks like Node.js, Next.js, or React
  • Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with tools such as n8n, Palantir Foundry, or other workflow/automation platforms
  • Experience evaluating AI system performance and interpreting results
  • Exposure to product telemetry, usage analytics, or feedback-driven iteration
  • Experience working in early-stage or high-growth startup environments
  • This role sits at the edge of product and reality.
  • Compensation Information
  • Equal Opportunity Statement
  • 4+ years supporting military, intelligence, or defense-related environments

Compensation

  • $185,000 - $260,000 USD
