About the role

This role blends strategy, capture, relationship-building, and problem-solving.

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience (MBA a plus)
  • Navy fluency
  • Experience in business development, capture, or GTM leadership within government or defense technology sectors with a proven history of success
  • Deep understanding of DOW acquisition, procurement, and team structures and processes
  • Proven track record of expanding business, or getting the Navy bureaucracy to adopt a major, new initiative
  • Demonstrated success driving multi-million-dollar defense programs or contracts
More about this role

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.
