Statecraft | Forward Deployed Engineer (All Levels) | REMOTE (US) | $160-220k + equity At Statecraft, we are building an AI workforce to help automate the US government. Currently our government is operated almost entirely by consultants who outnumber public servants 3:1 and institutionalize inefficiency so they can bill more hours. This only leads to agencies struggling to meet their missions, overworked and underpaid public servants, and overburdened taxpayers. Most of what these consultants do is easily automatable: data entry, basic spreadsheet work, filling out paperwork, etc.; we do this with AI and save taxpayers ~80% on average while completing the work ~10x faster with 2-3x less errors. We're a small, lean, mission-driven team and hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to build use cases and integrate deeply with agency customers. You'll be working with critical systems, massive surface area and national impact. * This position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain/maintain a security clearance.
