Location: Washington DC / Maryland / Virginia preferred (EST timezone considered) · Travel: 20–30% · Clearance: Active Secret minimum (required)

Clearance & Eligibility — Required This is a cleared position; clearance is a hard requirement, not a preference.

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Minimum requirement is an active U.S. Government Secret clearance. An active Top Secret clearance is strongly preferred and may be required for specific agency engagements.
  • Clearance must be current and active at the time of application — lapsed clearances, clearance eligibility, and willingness to be sponsored do not meet this requirement.
  • You must be able to maintain your clearance for the duration of employment.

Who We're Looking For We're looking for a Federal Deployment Engineer who's equally comfortable leading a customer meeting and working in a codebase. You'll own the initial implementation of BigID for our Federal customers — running deployment meetings with stakeholders, and problem-solving the technical issues that come up along the way. Because government environments often carry their own requirements, you'll bring a development background and the confidence to modify our existing codebase to meet them, plus build product integrations using REST APIs. Your work doesn't stop at go-live: you'll remain the trusted technical partner for these customers as their needs evolve.

What You'll Do

  • Automate deployment and configuration of BigID in restricted and air-gapped networks using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Build and ship custom integrations, connectors, and automation against BigID's REST APIs to meet agency-specific data sources, mission workflows, and system-of-record requirements.
  • Debug at the source: read logs, trace services, reproduce issues, and either patch them or hand R&D a clean, reproducible bug report.
  • Apply Agile/DevOps/CI/CD practices, test automation, and team leadership across multiple workstreams.
  • Use Jenkins, Groovy scripting, and Bash/shell for build and deployment automation.
  • Work across Jira, Confluence, Git, AWS, Docker, and relational/non-relational databases.
  • Document technical work clearly and communicate effectively across engineering, customer, and agency stakeholder groups.

What You'll Bring

  • An active U.S. Government Secret clearance or higher, held at time of application (see Clearance & Eligibility above).
  • Minimum 5 years combined experience across pre-sales engineering and hands-on software development — you can point to both code you've shipped and deals you've won.
  • Prior experience working with or within U.S. Federal agencies or defense-related organizations.
  • Strong hands-on development skills in Python, plus at least one of Java, Node.js/TypeScript, or Go; fluency with Bash and REST API design and consumption.
  • Production experience with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • Familiarity with federal compliance frameworks: FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, FISMA, ITAR, and CMMC.
  • Broad understanding of enterprise data architecture, privacy, and security technologies.
  • Experience with one or more of: RDBMS systems; NoSQL data stores (MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB); Hadoop technologies (HDFS, Hive, HBase); or cloud technologies (AWS GovCloud, EMR, S3, DynamoDB, Redshift, Azure Government, Azure file and blob storage).
  • Comfort troubleshooting and building in air-gapped or restricted networks without vendor support tooling.
  • Ability to plan, execute, and close out a proof of value with minimal assistance and oversight.
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences — executives, business stakeholders, and technology practitioners.
  • Composure and executive presence under scrutiny — able to stay credible and calm when challenged live by agency security architects or senior stakeholders, defending technical claims with evidence rather than deflection.
  • Self-directed with high ownership — thrives with minimal oversight across long federal sales cycles, sets priorities across concurrent agency engagements, and follows through without being chased.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.
  • Ability to exercise independent judgment with little or no oversight.

Nice to Have

  • Federal procurement fluency — working knowledge of contract vehicles and buying paths (GSA MAS, SEWP, GWACs, OTAs), and experience partnering with system integrators, resellers, and channel teams.
  • Experience building on or securing AI systems: LLM applications, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, or model training data governance.
  • Prior experience with Identity and Access Management or Data Loss Prevention tools.
  • Open-source contributions or a public portfolio of shipped work.
  • Master's degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.

Our Values We look for people who embody our values — Care, Do, Try & Shine.

  • Care – We care about our customers and each other
  • Do – We do what it takes to make a positive impact
  • Try – We try our best and we don't give up
  • Shine – We shine and make it our mission to always stand out

Compensation The base salary range for this position is $160,000–$190,000, depending on experience, qualifications, and location, plus a 30% variable/commission component. Actual compensation is determined by job-related skills, relevant experience, clearance level, and internal equity. This range reflects our good-faith estimate at time of posting.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
