Forward Deployed Engineer

Aslan builds AI for the people who protect this country. The work matters. The stakes are not abstract.

Youll deploy Aslans platform into high-consequence environments across the U.S. national security community intelligence defense and law enforcement. You own the full arc: scoping integration live operation and customer trust in settings where ambiguity is the default and the margin for error is thin.

But you are not a band-aid. You are not patching things in the field and handing them back. You are a core engineer who also happens to thrive at the point of contact someone who ships production code during the week and deploys it into a SCIF on Friday. The expectation is that you contribute meaningfully to the

codebase not just operate on top of it.

What youll do

• Contribute directly to Aslans core platform writing production code building features and extending agent capabilities alongside the engineering team

• Deploy and operate agentic AI systems in sensitive government and defense environments carrying full technical ownership from integration through live operation

• Serve as the primary technical interface to mission owners and operators learning their workflows constraints and language before they have to explain them twice

• Build rapid prototypes custom integrations and field-expedient solutions in hours not sprints and then bring the best of those back into the core product

• Translate field requirements and edge cases back to the engineering team with precision urgency and working code

• Operate independently at customer sites with minimal oversight -- no one is going to hold your hand and no one is going to tell you what to build

• Stand up and maintain field infrastructure across heterogeneous hardware and networking environments using whatever works

• Conduct live demonstrations to senior government and military stakeholders where failure is not a learning opportunity its just failure
