Deliver technically credible demos and engage deeply with customer engineering teams
Identify new federal and contractor use cases and provide structured feedback to product and engineering
Build early federal GTM motion including pipeline generation, partner strategy, and repeatable sales process
Requirements

Experience engaging DoW, IC, and or federal civilian agencies in classified or regulated environments
Strong technical background as a software engineer, sales engineer, forward deployed engineer, or equivalent technical fluency
Ability to quickly learn complex technical systems, mission constraints, and acquisition processes

You may excel if you:
