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. We develop novel agentic enabling capabilities that includes:

• Create multi-layered guardrails around agents
• Optimize data retrieval for agents
• Orchestrate fleets of asynchronous agents
• Automatically alerts users to deviations in data
• Illustrating how an agent reached a decision

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will orchestrate the implementation of vertical features and horizontal capabilities to include mentoring other engineers on defining requirements with stakeholders and communication tradeoffs of technical implementations on feature and capabilities until they are accepted by the stakeholders.

You will: Orchestrate feature implementation across the Federal engineering team to ensure architectural consistency.

• Define technical strategy for agentic guardrails, explainability, and fleet orchestration.
• Ensure system reliability and performance across multiple security classifications and network types.
• Mentor engineers in the process of defining requirements with stakeholders and gathering acceptance.
• Communicate high-level technical trade-offs and implementation strategies to senior government stakeholders and Scale C-Suite members.
• Influence the long-term product strategy and technical roadmap for the Federal business unit.
• Consult on the architecture of AI-powered solutions for large-scale federal contracts.

Ideally you will have: 

• Full Stack Development: Proficiency in front-end, back-end development and infrastructure, including experience with modern web development frameworks, programming languages, and databases
• Cloud-Native Technologies: Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and experience in developing and deploying applications in a cloud-native environment. Understanding of containerization (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) is a plus
