Scale AI is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Mission Software Engineer to join our dynamic Federal Engineering team.
As a part of this team you will play a critical role in supporting Scale's government customers by scoping and developing onsite solutions.
Our scalable, high-performance platform is the foundation for these customer solutions, and your expertise will be instrumental in designing and implementing systems that can handle interactions with existing customer systems to help our products integrate into existing customer workflows.

Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to define and execute the vision for backend solutions, ensuring they meet the unique needs of government agencies operating in secure environments.
Implement end‑to‑end data integrations, syncing customer data to Scale's platform and back.
Deploy and maintain Scale software at customer sites.
Develop customer‑requested features and work closely with them to ensure customer success.
Build robust and reliable backend systems that can serve as standalone products, empowering customers to accelerate their own AI ambitions.
Participate actively in customer engagements, working closely with stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver innovative solutions.
This role requires an active TS/SCI security clearance or the ability to obtain one.
Ideal Qualifications
Track record of success as a hybrid customer‑facing engineer and the ability to quickly adapt to different roles.
Prior experience developing with Python and JavaScript, or other modern software languages.
Familiarity with Node and React is a plus.
Experience with Cloud‑Native Technologies: working with AWS, Azure or GCP and deploying applications in a cloud‑native environment.
Knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes is a plus.
Linux experience: understanding of shell scripting, operating systems, etc.
Networking experience: understanding of networking technologies and configuration (ports, protocols, etc).
Data Engineering: knowledge of ETL processes and experience building data pipelines to integrate and process diverse data sources, including data modelling and governance.
Problem‑solving: strong analytical skills to understand complex challenges and devise effective solutions.
Compensation & Benefits Compensation packages include base salary, equity, and benefits.
Base salary ranges by location are:
San Francisco, New York, Seattle – $184,000 – $292,560 USD
