About the role

This is an unparalleled opportunity to join our team as a foundational engineer in our newly formed federal group.
Your early contributions and leadership will be essential in defining the trajectory of our federal sector, making this an unparalleled opportunity for high-impact ownership and professional development.
A core part of this role is shaping the product from a deployability and operability standpoint.

You'll own a narrow set of strategic deployments, working directly with customer engineering teams to scope out complex deployments, ensure compliance with security controls, and implement any needed platform modifications.
Architect, own, and maintain the end-to-end technical lifecycle of complex, mission-critical federal enterprise deployments and their environments.
Build product extensions, integrations, and automation using Cognition's APIs and platform primitives to unblock deployments.
Builder mentality - you'd rather ship something than wait for someone else to build it
You'll own the technical direction of our deployments, making decisions that shape long-term adoption, architecture, and how the Cognition platform evolves in real-world environments.
Translate field learnings and customer pain points into actionable product direction: scope requirements, define solutions, and drive implementation.
We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents.
Building Devin is just the first step-our hardest challenges still lie ahead.
If you're excited to solve some of the world's biggest problems and build AI that can reason on real-world tasks, apply to join us.

2+ years of experience as a software engineer.
Experience working within the government or working in a government focused company.
Direct experience in, implementing compliance and security controls required for federal or highly regulated environments.
Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or similar
comfort navigating unfamiliar codebases
Have a track record of pursuing excellence at high levels, in any domain

Together, they represent our vision for collaborative AI teammates that enable engineers to focus on more interesting problems and empower teams to strive for more ambitious goals.

When customers hit friction that the product doesn't solve, you're the person who figures out what should exist-and makes it happen.
