About the role

We’re looking for a Software Engineering Senior Manager to lead the team responsible for scaling and productionizing applications within our federal solutions portfolio. You will partner with AI engineers, software developers, product leaders, and program stakeholders to solve mission-centric problems across a variety of customer environments, from commercial cloud to AWS GovCloud to fully disconnected networks. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Lead and develop a team of software engineers working closely with AI engineers to ship high-quality, production-ready features
  • Own team execution and the path from functional prototype to stable, scalable, accredited service
  • Set technical direction, drive sound decision-making, and establish and enforce engineering best practices across the federal engineering team
  • Guide the design and delivery of systems that satisfy security controls as a first-class requirement rather than a post-hoc remediation exercise
  • Ensure the team builds and maintains hardened container images, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment artifacts for cloud and restricted or air-gapped environments
  • Lead incident response and root cause analysis for production issues in environments with limited observability and access
