Descripción de la vacante

Scale AI in Washington DC leads customer-facing engineering on projects for U.S. government customers, embedding with agencies to design, build, and deploy AI solutions that meet critical missions.

This hybrid role sits with the team delivering end-to-end software at customer sites, from prototype to production, and requires clear communication, robust backend experience, and the ability to operate in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.

Formación

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in customer-facing, forward-deployed, or government contexts.
• Strong production coding in Python and TypeScript.
• 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.

Responsabilidades

• 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.
