Prototype and build full-stack systems using Python, JavaScript, or comparable stacks that deliver real mission impact.
Proactively guide customers on maximizing business and operational value from their applications.
Forge and manage relationships with customer leadership and stakeholders, ensuring successful deployment and scale.
Scope work, sequence delivery, and remove blockers early-making trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality.
Contribute directly in the code when clarity or momentum depends on it.
Codify working patterns into tools, playbooks, or building blocks others can use.
Share field feedback with Research and Product to influence model and product development.
Keep teams moving through clarity, judgment, and consistent follow-through.
You might thrive in this role if you
Bring 5+ years of engineering or technical deployment experience, ideally in customer-facing or government environments.
Active TS/SCI clearance or equivalent
Have scoped and delivered complex systems in fast-moving or ambiguous contexts.
Write and review production-grade code across frontend and backend, using Python, JavaScript, or similar stacks.
Are familiar with cloud deployment models (Azure, AWS), Kubernetes, Terraform, and related infrastructure.
Have experience building or deploying systems powered by LLMs or generative models, and understand how model behavior affects product experience.
Simplify complexity, make fast, sound decisions under pressure, and communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.
Spot risks early, adjust without slowing down, and model calm judgment when stakes are high.
Are humble, collaborative, and eager to help others with empathy.
Operate with high horsepower, thrive in dynamic environments, and can ruthlessly prioritize across multiple projects.
