We’re seeking a Forward Deployed Software Engineer to join a small, autonomous team working on mission-critical deployments at the tactical edge.

This is a highly hands-on, customer-facing engineering role where you’ll design, deploy, and operate advanced systems in challenging environments—often with compact, on-prem hardware and resource constraints.

This is a full-time, on-site role based in Washington, DC or New York, NY , with approximately 25% travel to customer sites.

What you’ll be doing :

  • Own end-to-end execution of high-stakes, customer-facing projects.
  • Deploy Kubernetes platforms (vanilla K8s, OpenShift, Rancher) in air-gapped, tactical edge environments .
  • Operate and support systems at the edge : debugging networks and systems, reviewing monitors / alerts, load balancing, orchestration, and upgrades.
  • Work hands-on with forward-deployed users to troubleshoot and minimize downtime .
  • Collaborate with engineers and mission partners to improve scalability, reliability, and security .
  • Communicate technical tradeoffs and architecture to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

    • What you’ll need :

  • Active US Security Clearance (Secret or TS required)
  • 2+ years engineering experience in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, or Physics
  • At least 1+ year deploying / debugging Kubernetes applications (DoD or cleared environments a plus)
  • Strong Linux (CentOS, RHEL) expertise
  • Proficiency in one or more coding languages : Python, Java, C++, TypeScript / JavaScript, or similar
  • Experience with on-prem or small form-factor systems
  • Ability to work on-site in DC or NYC with ~25% travel
  • Independence, grit, and adaptability to thrive in resource-constrained, tactical environments

    • Ready to make an impact?

    Join a team where your work directly supports mission success at the tactical edge.
