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. Additional compensation and benefits include equity in the form of stock options, medical/dental/vision coverage, 401(k), paid parental leave, flexible PTO, and life/disability insurance.
