Forward Deployed Software Engineer, Cleared (TS/SCI)
new $220K–$280K base + equity
A rare cleared FDE seat that isn't at Palantir — you build on top of Foundry, AIP and Maven Smart System as the prime's integration muscle, inside classification constraints, not around them. The TS/SCI + US-citizenship gate is exactly why base opens at $220K–$280K: the clearance is scarcer than the React/Node stack. NEA/a16z/Accel-backed govtech ($35M raised) now claiming 55M residents across 50+ agencies and pushing hard into federal.
