About the role
Forward Deployed Engineers at Belisar are the rare engineers who are equally at home in a terminal and in a customer briefing. You will live at the boundary between our product and the hardest operational problems in the federal ecosystem: understanding user needs, implementing product, connecting integrations, and writing code to deliver on the most important outcomes for a customer within the defense space. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of software engineering / forward deployed engineering experience, with a strong foundation in at least one backend language (Python, Go, Java, or similar), at a top tier-startup, enterprise, or your own projects
- Hands-on experience deploying or integrating software in complex, real-world environments, not just greenfield development
- Fluency with data: SQL, ETL pipelines, REST APIs, and working with structured and unstructured data sources
- Strong debugging instincts and the ability to diagnose problems across the full stack, including infrastructure and networking layers
- A customer mindset: you understand that the best technical solution is the one that actually gets used
- Exceptional written and verbal communication: you can explain a complex system to a program manager and a junior analyst in the same conversation
More about this role
Position: Forward Deployed Engineer (Delta)
Belisar is the CRM designed for government contracting. It enables the best technology to win, fusing internal context, intuitive AI, and real-time data into a unified view of the market.
Federal contracting has long run on tools that were never built for it: Generic CRMs designed for commercial sales, legacy data platforms that surface noise instead of signal, and institutional knowledge locked in spreadsheets and inboxes. Belisar unifies all the important intelligence into a single, AI-native platform — so teams can see opportunities earlier, move faster, and win the work that matters.
Belisar is backed by a16z and trusted by leading defense, space, and government leaders including Boeing, Forterra, Scout AI, Vannevar Labs, Aevex, and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).
Together, we're building toward one outcome: The best technology wins, and it reaches the missions that need it most.
