Summary
What you’ll impact
The role is a hybrid, customer‑facing engineering position on the organization's Public Sector Engineering team, embedding with U.S. government customers to build and deploy AI applications. The engineer will own end‑to‑end delivery from prototype to production, ensuring robust backend systems and serving as the technical point of contact to maximize mission impact.
Responsibilities
What you'll do
- Embed with government customers to understand their mission, scope the problem, and turn it into working software.
- Own delivery end-to-end: design, build, deploy, and maintain solutions at customer sites, from prototype to stable production.
- Build robust backend systems and data integrations that connect customer environments to Scale's platform and back.
- Partner with product and engineering to feed field signals back into the roadmap, so the patterns you build once become capabilities the whole team can reuse.
- Serve as the technical point of contact for customer stakeholders, guiding adoption and maximizing mission impact.
Requirements
What you’ll bring
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in customer-facing, forward-deployed, or government contexts.
- Strong production coding in Python and TypeScript (or comparable modern languages).
- Comfort across the stack, including cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers, Linux, and networking fundamentals.
- Ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and make sound trade-offs under pressure.
- An active TS/SCI clearance, or eligibility to obtain one.
