Description

Deployment Engineer We’re partnered with a well-funded defence technology company building software that operates where it actually matters — in real-world, high-stakes environments. They’re hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to work on the front lines of deployment: embedding with users, solving live problems, and ensuring critical systems perform when it counts. This isn’t a role where you sit behind a backlog. You’ll be hands-on, close to the user, and responsible for making complex systems work in the real world. What You’ll Be Doing • Deploy and operate software systems in live operational environments • Work directly with end users to understand real-world problems — not just requirements docs • Rapidly build, iterate, and adapt solutions based on real feedback • Bridge the gap between product, engineering, and real-world use • Turn messy, ambiguous challenges into robust, scalable systems What They’re Looking For • Strong engineering background (Python, C++, Java, or similar) • Excellent problem-solving ability — you enjoy tackling undefined problems • Comfortable working close to users in high-pressure environments • Strong communication skills — able to translate between technical and non-technical teams • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or similar Nice to Have • Experience in defence, national security, or government environments • Military background or exposure to operational settings • Experience deploying systems in distributed or constrained environments • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and moving fast Why This Role Stands Out? • Your work is used in real operations — not just tested in theory • High ownership: you’ll see problems through from idea to deployment • Work alongside a high-calibre, mission-driven team • A rare opportunity to operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and real-world impact Who This Is For? This role suits engineers who: • Want to get out of purely “internal” engineering work • Enjoy solving messy, real-world problems • Like being close to the user, not removed from them • Want to see the direct impact of their work
