Experience: 5+ years
- Embed with government customers to understand their mission, scope the problem, and turn it into working software.

- 5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in customer-facing, forward-deployed, or government contexts.
- Strong production coding in Python and TypeScript (or comparable modern languages).
- Comfort across the stack, including cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers, Linux, and networking fundamentals.
- Ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and make sound trade-offs under pressure.
- Experience building or deploying systems powered by LLMs or generative models.
- Familiarity with Node and React, Kubernetes and Docker, and Terraform.
- Data engineering background covering ETL pipelines, data modeling, and data governance.
