Forward Deployed Software Engineer, Cleared (TS/SCI)

5+ years of professional engineering experience, with a track record of owning complex features and systems, not just executing on them

Hands-on development experience with Palantir Foundry, AIP, or Maven Smart System. You have modeled against the ontology, shipped pipelines or AIP agents, and can say what the platform does well and where you had to work around it

Deep fluency in React / Next.js and Node.js / TypeScript / Postgres. Fast, not just functional

AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) are already baked into how you work. You've shipped with them, and you move measurably faster because of it

You've built something real: a product, an open source project, a system you designed and stood behind

Proven ability to operate in ambiguity: you define the problem as often as you solve it, and you don't stall waiting for the answer to come to you

A genuine orientation toward the end user, the person on the other side of the screen isn't an abstraction to you

Have shipped software inside a classified or otherwise accredited environment, and know where the real friction lives

Have been a Forward Deployed Engineer, or worked a program where Palantir was prime and you were the one making the integration actually work

Have touched federal, state, or local government tech, or have built in other regulated, high-stakes environments where the constraints were real

Have cloud deployment depth: AWS, Vercel, GitHub Actions, ECS/Fargate

Have experience with design systems and component libraries and a clear opinion on when a component is right vs. just functional

Have led technical work in an early-stage environment where the job was figuring it out, not following a playbook
