Powered by advanced AI models trained to extract actionable insights from imagery, our technology is designed to be deployed within both existing and new infrastructures, across public and private sectors, civilian or military, while strictly adhering to legal and privacy frameworks.

We develop world‑class AI solutions tailored to defense and public safety needs, combining technical excellence with a deep respect for data protection laws.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to:

• Drive the successful deployment of Orasio’s solutions in highly constrained environments:
  • Act as the primary technical point of contact for Orasio’s customers.
  • Support deployment, integration, and roll‑out of our solutions.
  • Support end users in adopting the product and maximizing its value, including by working closely with them on initial use cases.
• Build and scale Orasio’s deployment capabilities. As the first Forward Deployed Engineer, you will:
  • Design and structure our deployment processes and methodologies, in close collaboration with product, engineering, and commercial teams.
  • Build a comprehensive playbook that enables local Forward Deployment Engineers and Integrators across European countries to independently deploy our on‑premise solutions with full autonomy.
  • Continuously improve our deployment practices based on field feedback.
  • Scale the FDE function to support Orasio’s expansion across Europe.

Reporting directly to the COO, this role combines customer‑facing execution with the structuring of our deployment model, a critical capability for Orasio’s long‑term adoption and scale.

Responsibilities

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for customers, leading engagements end‑to‑end, from pre‑sales to post‑implementation.
• Drive the successful delivery of Orasio’s solutions in highly constrained environments, including on‑premise and air‑gapped deployments.
• Translate complex engineering concepts into clear, actionable insights for non‑technical stakeholders.
• Adapt Orasio’s solutions to real‑world operational needs, working at the intersection of product, engineering, and commercial teams.
• Design, structure, and continuously improve our deployment processes and methodologies.
• Scale Orasio’s deployment capabilities, both in terms of processes and team, to support our expansion across Europe.

Ideal Profile

• 5+ years of experience, including:
  • Leading complex, high‑stakes projects end‑to‑end.
  • Experience in technical environments with strong operational or regulatory constraints (e.g. on‑premise, secure or air‑gapped systems).
• Strong technical acumen, with a genuine interest in both software and hardware systems.
• Comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders, including senior interlocutors.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and designing in high‑stakes, regulated environments.
• Fluency in French and English.
• Bonus:
  • Experience in Public sector, Defense or Internal Security sectors.
  • Experience working on AI‑native products or systems.
  • Entrepreneurial or early‑stage experience.
  • Experience bridging software and hardware systems.

What We Offer

• A Paris‑based office with a flexible hybrid remote/in‑office work model.
• Stock options to share in the long‑term success of the company.
• The opportunity to work on state‑of‑the‑art AI solutions with real‑world applications in defense and public security.
• A clear and ambitious mission, grounded in technical excellence and respect for data privacy laws.
• A fast‑paced startup atmosphere and collaboration with highly skilled team.
