Forward Deployed Engineer

About the job

ROLE

We're hiring a forward deployed engineer to embed with Aslan's customers and write the code that makes our platform solve their specific mission. You'll sit alongside intelligence analysts, targeting officers, and federal agents, learn the operational problem they're actually trying to solve, and build until the platform does something they can't live without.

The threats our operators face destroy lives at scale, and the people fighting them have never had a tool built for the terrain those threats now occupy. Every line of code you ship in the field puts capability in the hands of someone who has been outmatched by an adversary they couldn't previously reach. That's the weight of this job, and it's why it matters.

This is an engineering role, not a deployment or support role. You write production code at customer sites. You take our core platform and make it work inside operational environments that are messy, sensitive, and unlike anything the product team could have anticipated. You build the custom integrations, the tailored workflows, the mission-specific configurations that turn a general capability into something indispensable for this operator, on this mission, with these targets. And you bring every pattern, every failure, every insight back to the core engineering team so the platform gets better for everyone.
