Forward Deployed Engineer

## About the role This position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain/maintain a security clearance. We build workers for the work that keeps the country running. At Statecraft, we are building an inorganic workforce to help keep the US Government running. Our AI workers are trained on government workflows, operate reliably and compliantly, and build their own tools and software to help achieve outcomes and digitally transform outdated processes. America is not short on forms, policies, or good people. It is short on hours. Our public servants are overworked and understaffed. For too long, contractors and consultants have made empty promises to solve this problem. Instead, they've wasted billions in taxpayer dollars. We're changing this with an AI workforce that works around the clock and improves over time. On average, we save taxpayers 80% while helping agencies deliver on initiatives and their mission 10x faster. We've raised a seed round, worked some pilots, and are aggressively pursuing major contracts that put us in direct competition with staffing behemoths like Accenture, Deloitte, and Booz Allen. Our product offering also brings agentic coding to the government, with our AI workers capable of building software in minutes at virtually no cost to drive out overcharging software integrators like Palantir, SAP, and Salesforce. We're hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to help drive this work forward. People who are great fits for this role are typically mission driven, incredibly ambitious, and systems thinkers. As an FDE at Statecraft, you will be staffed towards numerous lines of effort, working directly with customers to identify and solve pain points. You will build out applications and systems to transform and automate workflows typically done by hand or in spreadsheets and emails. You will also build legions of AI workers tailored to specific roles to provide relief to understaffed agencies. ## Responsibilities - Working with key stakeholders and customers across the federal government - Identifying key workflows or opportunities for automation - Prototyping, iterating, and delivering AI solutions directly to customers - Improving and expanding our core product offering - High levels of ownership on numerous lines of effort - Tailoring an inorganic workforce for your customers - Working alongside AI on a daily basis ## What we offer We are still incredibly early.
