About the role

  • Forward Deployed Engineer deploying analytics platform for Department of War. Collaborating with users and engineering teams to implement solutions that enhance decision-making processes.

Responsibilities

  • Deploy and operationalize Obviant’s analytics platform within the Department of War and related organizations, ensuring successful adoption and measurable mission outcomes.
  • Work side-by-side with users to understand their workflows, pain points, and objectives.
  • Design, implement, and iterate on configurations, data models, and workflows that bring clarity and automation to complex operational processes.
  • Collaborate with our product and engineering teams to translate mission requirements into scalable product improvements.
  • Act as the connective tissue between users and the technical stack — guiding organizations on how to use Obviant most effectively, and how to evolve their processes alongside it.
  • Drive user training, onboarding, and sustained engagement to ensure enduring success in the field.
  • Travel to customer sites and work directly alongside mission teams to support deployments and field adoption

Requirements

  • 3+ years of professional experience, ideally in a mission-oriented or client-facing technical role.
  • Candidates with 2+ years of relevant FDE experience, including an active or recent DoD security clearance, will also be considered.
  • Clearance-ready (U.S. Citizen with eligibility and willingness to obtain a clearance).
  • Strong technical acumen — able to understand complex systems, data workflows, and technical architectures.
  • Experience implementing or deploying software in operational or government environments.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical users.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguous and fast-changing environments, often interfacing with senior government stakeholders.
  • Passionate about the defense mission and driven by impact more than optics.
  • Prior experience in defense, national security, or government contracting preferred but not required.

Benefits

  • Flexible schedule – We all have other things going on in our lives. Doctor visits, kids’ activities, dog walks — take care of it whenever you have to. And work from home when you need to.
  • Competitive compensation + Sizeable equity – We’re building something with massive upside potential, and you’ll have ownership in that. This is ours.
  • Flexible vacation time – Use what you want, as long as you’re taking care of what needs to get done.
  • Full health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • And more…
