Capitol AI builds sovereign intelligence infrastructure for the world's most consequential institutions. A wrong answer here carries regulatory, financial, or national security weight. The platform deploys entirely within customer-controlled environments, transforming proprietary data into auditable, repeatable, decision-grade artifacts with no data egress and full traceability.
We are expanding across the United Kingdom. Our clients span central government departments, City financial institutions, and global professional services firms: environments where precision, discretion, and institutional trust are the baseline, not the benchmark.
This Forward Deployed Engineer role is the technical and strategic presence at the point of deployment. You are the person who makes Capitol's infrastructure work inside some of the most demanding and consequential environments in the country.
THE ROLE
You will own the full deployment lifecycle: from technical integration and workflow configuration through stakeholder enablement and ongoing production support. You will work directly with analysts, compliance teams, procurement leads, and senior executives across UK government agencies, financial institutions, and professional services firms. Some client environments will involve classified or sensitive data handling, and you will be expected to operate with the appropriate levels of rigour and discretion.
RESPONSIBILITIES
QUALIFICATIONS
SECURITY CLEARANCE
SC or DV clearance is a meaningful advantage, particularly for UK government and defence-facing deployments, and will determine the scope of environments you are eligible to support. Candidates without existing clearance are welcome to apply. The right profile and eligibility matter more than current status, and sponsorship pathways are available for suitable candidates.
STRONGLY VALUED
Capitol AI is building a sovereign operating system for intelligence, designed for regulated, high-stakes institutions such as professional services firms, financial services, and government agencies. These organizations are overwhelmed by data and experimenting with generic AI tools that lack auditability, repeatability, and secure deployment. As a result, critical decisions are increasingly shaped by systems they do not fully control.
Capitol runs entirely inside enterprise infrastructure and transforms proprietary data into structured, decision-grade artifacts such as due diligence reports, regulatory documentation, and executive intelligence. The platform is model-agnostic, fully auditable, and operates with no data egress, giving institutions durable control over their data, workflows, and standards.
