Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, (Forward Deployed), GPS
Scale's rapidly growing Global Public Sector team is focused on using AI to address critical challenges facing the public sector around the world. Our core work consists of creating custom AI applications that will impact millions of citizens, generating high-quality training data for custom LLMs, and providing upskilling and advisory services to spread the impact of AI. As a Full Stack Software Engineer (Forward Deployed), you'll collaborate directly with public sector counterparts to quickly build full-stack AI applications, solving their most pressing challenges and achieving meaningful impact for citizens.
In this role, you will partner with public sector clients to scope, collect feedback, and implement solutions for complex problems, including spending up to two weeks per month in client offices for feedback and delivery. You will architect production-grade applications that integrate AI models with full-stack frameworks, managing everything from interactive UIs to backend APIs and systems. Additionally, you will deploy and manage infrastructure within cloud environments, ensuring the highest levels of system integrity, security, scalability, and long-term reliability. Contributing to core platform features designed to be reused across diverse international client use cases and partnering with design, product, and data teams to build robust applications aligned with the broader technical architecture are also key responsibilities.
The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related quantitative field and 5+ years of post-graduation, full-stack engineering experience. Demonstrated proficiency in React (required), TypeScript, Next.js, Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL or MongoDB, along with hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure/AWS/GCP, is essential. Proven ability to architect scalable, production-grade applications with a strong handle on cloud environments and infrastructure health is required. Experience working directly within customer infrastructure to deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot complex, end-to-end solutions, as well as a self-starting approach with the technical maturity to navigate ambiguous requirements and deliver reliable software, are also important.
Nice-to-have qualifications include proficiency in Arabic, past experience working in a forward deployed engineer or dedicated customer engineer role, experience working cross-functionally with operations, and experience building solutions with LLMs and a deep understanding of the overall Gen AI landscape.
