Dynamo AI is hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to help public sector customers deploy and operationalize its AI assurance platform in mission-critical environments. The company builds evaluation, guardrail, and agent governance infrastructure that enables government and enterprise organizations to move AI systems from experimentation to trusted production deployment across cloud, hybrid, on-prem, edge, and air-gapped environments.
In this hands-on role, you will work at the intersection of software engineering, customer deployment, AI assurance, and government technology. You will write code, debug complex systems, build integrations, support deployments, and create demos and prototypes that help federal customers adopt Dynamo's capabilities. You will engage directly with customer engineering teams, mission users, security stakeholders, and Dynamo's product and engineering teams to translate operational needs into working software and deployment architectures.
Key responsibilities include:
- Become deeply fluent in Dynamo's evaluation, guardrail, and agent governance platform (DynamoEval, DynamoGuard, AgentWarden, and related capabilities)
- Work directly with federal customers to understand mission needs, technical requirements, pain points, and operational constraints, converting them into practical solution architectures and implementation plans
- Create tailored demos, prototypes, and workflows for federal executives, technical teams, and mission users
- Deploy, integrate, and support Dynamo capabilities across diverse environments (cloud, hybrid, on-prem, air-gapped, government-controlled)
- Troubleshoot complex implementations in partnership with engineering, platform, security, and customer teams
- Bring field learnings back to shape Dynamo's product roadmap, delivery patterns, and customer strategy
This is a customer-facing role with regular on-site engagement and up to 50% travel. You will be based in the Washington, DC Metro Area.
REQUIREMENTS:
- U.S. Citizenship required; active U.S. security clearance preferred, with eligibility and willingness to obtain one required
- 5+ years in customer-facing engineering roles (solutions, sales, product, forward-deployed, or implementation engineering)
- Strong technical foundation in software engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or quantitative field
- Strong coding ability in Python plus TypeScript, Java, Go, Bash, or similar
- Experience building, deploying, integrating, or operating production software systems across cloud, containerized, on-prem, or enterprise environments
- Working knowledge of AI/ML systems, including GenAI, LLM applications, evaluation, guardrails, observability, or agentic workflows
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and technical communication skills; ability to operate independently in ambiguous customer environments
- Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, from hands-on users to senior government stakeholders
- Willingness to travel regularly to customer sites
- Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous settings where you build, test, explain, and iterate quickly
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience supporting Department of War, IC, federal civilian, or other public sector customers
- Familiarity with RMF, FedRAMP, IL environments, ATO processes, CMMC, or government software accreditation
- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or enterprise integrations
- Experience integrating with IdAM providers, SIEMs, data platforms, APIs, secure networks, or logging and monitoring tools
- Hands-on experience with AI evaluation, red-teaming, runtime guardrails, model observability, AI governance, or agentic systems
- Prior experience at a defense-tech, AI, cybersecurity, cloud, or enterprise SaaS company
- Active Secret, Top Secret, or TS/SCI clearance
