You’ll be handed an outcome rather than a specification: a program that needs our platform integrated with government data systems under real constraints. You produce the plan, make the design decisions, build it, and ship it.\nYou’ll work directly with customer technical staff, debug production issues in their environments, and make the speed-versus-robustness trade-offs that defense delivery demands. You’ll also raise the team around you, reviewing code, mentoring engineers, and setting the standard for how the team builds with customers.\nResponsibilities\nLead customer engagements end to end: integration with government data and systems, designed and built under real constraints\n\nTurn ambiguous requirements into technical plans, and deliver multi-week engagements without close supervision\n\nBuild custom workflows that drive adoption, usage, and engagement with key customers\n\nDebug production issues in customer environments, including government cloud\n\nDocument design decisions that hold up under scrutiny, and review code across the team\n\nMake sound speed-versus-robustness trade-offs under program constraints\n\nMentor engineers and bring what you learn in the field back to the product team\n\nDesired Skills\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including customer-facing or systems-integration work owned end to end\n\nDepth in Python and/or TypeScript and SQL, data integration against messy sources, and system design under constraint\n\nExperience deploying and debugging in environments you don’t control: government cloud, on-prem, or otherwise constrained\n\nJudgment on trade-offs, and the ability to defend a design decision to a skeptical customer engineer and to your own team\n\nExperience mentoring engineers and reviewing code across a team\n\nWillingness to travel to customer sites (military installations across the U.S.)\n\nU.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance\n\nBonus Points\nMilitary service or experience delivering software into defense programs. Veterans are strongly encouraged to apply\n\nFamiliarity with service supply, maintenance, and readiness data systems\n\nExperience with accreditation processes and impact-level government environments\n\nAn active security clearance\n\nYou don’t need to check every box. If the mission and the work resonate, apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2437,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T13:30:04Z"}],"liveness":{"score":68,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.753,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tagup-senior-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tagup-senior-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-27T00:07:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":43,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4957,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-28T00:00:00Z"}}}
