Exiger is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with government and defense customers on mission-critical supply chain risk management and geopolitical intelligence challenges. The role combines data engineering, AI/ML expertise, and systems integration to deliver production-grade solutions that enhance national security and operational resilience.
You will design and implement scalable data pipelines for ingesting, cleansing, and transforming supply chain and risk datasets. Your responsibilities include applying AI/ML methods to enhance predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and risk identification within supply chain risk management (SCRM) workflows. You'll integrate AI-driven analytics into Exiger's SaaS platform through APIs and data services, working alongside program directors, data scientists, and software engineers to operationalize models into production systems.
Key deliverables include developing dashboards and data visualizations for senior government stakeholders, ensuring data quality and security across implementations, and supporting transformation projects that modernize customer data environments. You'll operate at the intersection of engineering, data science, and mission delivery—embedded with customer teams and internal stakeholders. Projects span architecture and data ingestion through model deployment, integration, and executive briefings.
Required qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, AI, or related field; 5+ years in data engineering, applied AI/ML, or scalable system integration; demonstrated experience operationalizing AI models in production; deep proficiency in Python and SQL; experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Redshift); ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance; and comfort translating ambiguous mission problems into structured technical solutions. You should be able to work independently in dynamic, high-stakes environments, engage directly with senior government stakeholders, and travel as needed.
