About the job
The Public Sector software engineers (SWEs) create the core product building blocks forward-deployed teams use to develop agentic capabilities that function across multiple domains. SWEs responsibilities include building the systems required to ingest and process federal datasets to support real-time decision-making in contested environments. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will orchestrate the implementation of vertical features and horizontal capabilities, mentoring other engineers on defining requirements with stakeholders and communicating tradeoffs of technical implementations. You will define the technical strategy for agentic guardrails, explainability, and fleet orchestration, ensuring system reliability and performance across multiple security classifications and network types. You will also influence the long-term product strategy and technical roadmap for the Federal business unit and consult on the architecture of AI-powered solutions for large-scale federal contracts.
