Forward-Deployed Engineer
Role summary
Legion is seeking a Forward-Deployed Engineer to work directly with customers, embedding within their teams to design and build custom workflows on their agentic AI platform. This role involves understanding mission needs, rapidly developing solutions in classified or constrained environments, and acting as a translator between non-technical users and technical implementations. Success requires autonomy, strong communication, and the ability to ship practical solutions quickly. The engineer will also provide feedback to product and engineering teams to improve the core platform. This position is ideal for those who want to work close to the mission, own outcomes end-to-end, and directly shape both product and customer success.
About us:
Let’s be real: AI isn’t magic. Legion was built to slice through hype and deliver secure, dependable agentic systems that work alongside the people tackling the world’s most critical challenges. Born from a DoW partnership and trusted by leaders across government and enterprise, Legion embeds intelligence inside complex systems—unlocking data, accelerating human workflows, and hardening mission-critical operations.
From the forward edge to Fortune 500 back offices, our agentic platform drops AI into the software people already use, optimizing, not replacing, workflows. With world-class collaborators like NVIDIA, HPE, Palantir, and Oracle, we’re building infrastructure that boosts human capability everywhere it runs.
We’re looking for bold thinkers and doers to join us in shaping an AI future that’s secure, grounded, and built to work.
The Role:This position requires a US Department of Defense or Intelligence TS/SCI clearance.
We’re looking for a forward-deployed engineer to work directly with customers to design and build custom workflows on top of our agentic AI platform.
This is not a traditional product or platform engineering role. You will sit with end users, understand mission needs, and rapidly develop “app packs” and workflows that solve real operational problems. You’ll operate as both a builder and a translator—turning ambiguous requirements into working systems. You’ll have a finger on the pulse of our end users, transforming requests and requirements into truly transformative agentic AI solutions that revolutionize user workflows.
You will spend the majority of your time (80–100%) embedded with customers, working independently in classified or constrained environments. Success in this role requires autonomy, strong communication, and the ability to ship practical solutions quickly.
You’ll also act as a feedback loop into product and engineering—surfacing patterns, feature gaps, and opportunities to improve the core platform.Due to Government contract requirements, we are only able to hire US citizens or Green Card holders.

Why Join Us:
This role sits at the edge of product and reality. You won’t be building features that may or may not get used—you’ll be building systems that are immediately deployed and tested in the field.
If you want to work close to the mission, own outcomes end-to-end, and have a direct hand in shaping both product and customer success, this is the role.
