About this role
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer with 1-3 years of experience who can talk easily with customers and write production code, to lead implementation on Uare.ai's government deal. You'll capture what senior leaders know in their own Individual AIs and turn it into AI-powered courses and training programs. You'll work alongside a senior engineer and the founding team at a 20-person, Mayfield-backed startup that is heading into its Series A.
What will you be doing?
- Act as the main implementation lead for government clients. You'll load their courses, documents and recordings into their Human Life Model and knowledge graph.
- Manage system prompts and service orchestration safely inside a government Azure (IL5) environment.
- Build client requests in Next.js, Python and Java: front-end UI tweaks, new backend tables and file management features.
- Lead client calls and explain AI in plain language, so senior, less technical users feel empowered rather than lost.
- Split your time roughly 50% coding, 30% customer work and 20% internal alignment. Expect about 25% travel to DC-area sites at first, rising toward weekly near the end of the POC. The company covers all travel.
