## Job description

## About Code Metal

Code Metal is the leader in automated software engineering you can trust. As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck in software has shifted from writing code to verifying it works, and AI cannot verify its own work with certainty. Code Metal takes a fundamentally different approach: constrain AI to what it does reliably, verify every step independently of the model using formal methods, and keep engineers in the loop on the decisions that matter. The result isn't code that probably works — it's code that is provably correct, with auditable proof. Customers including the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, RTX, and Toshiba use Code Metal to modernize legacy code, optimize performance on real hardware, and move prototypes to production, fast. Founded in 2023 with offices in Boston and San Francisco, Code Metal is funded by Accel, Salesforce Ventures, B Capital, Smith Point Capital, J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch, RTX, and others. Learn more at [codemetal.ai](http://codemetal.ai). As a Deployment Strategist, you'll work with engineers (core and forward deployed), product, and growth team members to deploy software against the most urgent problems faced by our Government customers. Your mission is to synthesize disconnected streams of thought into a cohesive understanding of what the end user’s most urgent problems are, what the product needs, what users are motivated by, where the impact could be, and who else has similar problems that Code Metal can address. Deployment Strategists are do-ers who immerse themselves in our customers' most intricate workflows, partner with customer teams, dive into improving the product, and enable us to scale. The problems you'll tackle will require a curious and analytical mindset, a sharp intuition for product, humility about how what we’re building will never be done, and a strong degree of empathy to ultimately empower our customers to make better decisions. What you will do:

- Go onsite and meet with end users to understand the critical questions they need to answer and locate their biggest pain points.
- Identify relevant features through deep engagement with customer problems and workflows, and work with Forward Deployed Engineers to integrate the features in a stable and extensible way.
- Embed with our Engineering and Product teams to incorporate what you see in the field into Code Metal product offerings.
- Work with the customer to build bespoke workflows for new user groups.
- Lead training sessions to ensure that the product is meeting user needs, and to ensure it is being used widely enough to have concrete impact on our partners' operations.
- Become our customers’ trusted teammate, drive adoption, keep customers happy
- Build and deliver demos to new and existing customers.
- Scope out potential engagements with new customer groups, new advocates, growth opportunities, and potential fallout funds.

What we are looking for:

- Former operators who are deeply respected by their communities
- Deep understanding of our customers, born of having walked a mile in their shoes
- Strong relationships across relevant organizations within the US Government

Travel:

- 50%

Requirements:

- Active U.S. security clearance

## Benefits

- Pay depends on experience, but we strive to be at the upper end of the salary range
- Health care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision
- 401k with 5% matching
- Paid Time Off (uncapped vacation, plus sick and public holidays)
- Flexible hybrid or remote work arrangement
- Relocation assistance for qualifying employees

Wage Transparency - The salary range for this role is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, as the final offer amount may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, individual proficiency, skills, experience, and location.

We are an equal opportunity employer. US Citizenship may be required for certain project assignments involving security clearance.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Code Metal provides an AI-powered platform for verifiable code translation, enabling mission-critical industries to safely move software to different hardware architectures and languages with formal verification.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Boston, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Software development tools; defense, automotive, aerospace, robotics, logistics
- **Target customers**: B2B enterprise – engineering teams in safety-critical sectors (defense, automotive, aerospace, medical devices)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Make AI trustworthy by safely delivering the last mile for mission critical industries" ([codemetal.ai](https://codemetal.ai/))

## Products & Services
- **Verifiable Code Translation Platform**: An AI-driven tool that automatically translates source code to a target architecture/language while generating a full test suite (functional and MCDC coverage) and formally verifying functional equivalence. Designed for safety-critical and compliance-heavy environments.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed directly; latest round implies a post-money valuation in the hundreds of millions (conflicting reports).
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: Conflicting data – $178.45M or $184.45M (see sources). Latest round was a $125M Series B in February 2026, led by **Salesforce Ventures**. ([cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/code-metal) and [pitchbook.com](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/548367-58))
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch Ventures, Smith Point Capital, RTX Ventures, Salesforce Ventures (lead Series B), and 20+ others.

  - Active job postings: 57, up 714% YoY. 
  - Customers include a top‑5 global automotive OEM, a top aerospace company, and L3Harris.
  - Patents filed for code translation and program synthesis using LLMs.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Formal verification + AI**: Unlike typical AI code assistants, Code Metal guarantees functional equivalence through automated testing and compliance checks, making it suitable for systems where failure is not an option.
- **Chip portability**: Allows customers to avoid vendor lock-in by maintaining a single source-of-truth codebase deployable to any chip (ARM, RISC‑V, GPUs, etc.).
- **Track record in defense/aerospace**: Already deployed with L3Harris and major aerospace/automotive firms, providing a strong reference base.

## Strategic Focus
- **Go‑to‑market**: Deepening relationships with defense primes and automotive OEMs while expanding into robotics, telecommunications, and medical devices.
- **Product development**: Investing in compiler and AI tooling, modeling & simulation, formal methods, and GPU/accelerator support (evident from open positions).
- **Scaling team**: Aggressively hiring across engineering, research, and go‑to‑market roles (Boston, San Francisco, remote).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & impact**: "Building a global team of exceptional builders" – focus on solving hard problems at the intersection of AI, compilers, and safety-critical systems.
- **Work policy**: Offers roles in Boston, San Francisco, and fully remote (US). Many engineering/research positions list "Boston, Remote, San Francisco".
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Exposure to cutting-edge AI and formal methods; opportunity to work with top defense contractors; high autonomy and a flat structure (only 63 employees).
- **Growth trajectory**: 182.8% headcount growth and fundraising momentum signal rapid scaling and career advancement potential.
