About the role
- Kamiwaza AI is seeking a Mission Delivery Engineer (MDE) to serve as a forward-deployed, hands-on technical leader for U.S. federal customers.
- This is not a pure presentation role and not a back-office engineering role.
- It is an end-to-end mission delivery role that combines pre-sales technical execution with post-sale implementation, operationalization, enablement, and structured handover.
Responsibilities
- Design and deliver tailored demos, whiteboard sessions, and hands-on workshops for executive and practitioner audiences.
- Build rapid prototypes and custom apps on top of the Kamiwaza platform using real or representative customer data, often under tight timelines.
- Instrument PoVs with basic evaluation and guardrails (grounding checks, policy constraints, transparency) to maintain credibility and accelerate stakeholder buy-in.
- Design and implement integrations with customer identity, data, and workflow systems (APIs, messaging/streaming, file stores, enterprise data platforms).
- Drive performance, reliability, and operational readiness for mission workloads (observability, scaling, cost/performance tradeoffs, and failure-mode planning).
- We're a small, driven team building a platform that makes GenAI deployment feel like magic.
- We operate with high urgency but think for the long term-action creates clarity.
- Ready to build the foundation of the GenAI revolution?
Requirements
- Experience with distributed systems concepts and integration patterns (APIs, event-driven/streaming, data pipelines).
- Ability to translate technical capabilities into mission impact and customer value - tailored to executive and practitioner audiences.
- U.S. citizenship required.
- Translate discovery into a clear use case definition, solution outline, and measurable PoV plan (what 'good' looks like, how it will be measured, and what data is required).
Nice to have
- Experience supporting DoD/IC deployments in classified, air-gapped, or DDIL environments
- familiarity with RMF/ATO processes and NIST 800-53 control families.
- Experience delivering production implementations with clear operational ownership (runbooks, monitoring, incident response posture, and sustainment handoffs).
- Prior military service or direct experience supporting operational mission teams.
- Purpose & Impact: Be a key contributor to the GenAI revolution, shaping how enterprises adopt next-generation technology.
- Expert Founders with Successful Exits: Our leadership team brings experience and a relentless enthusiasm for GenAI innovation.
- High-Autonomy Environment: Flat organizational structure, transparent communication, and minimal red tape.
- Comfort operating in sensitive mission contexts and communicating clearly within security and information-handling constraints.
Compensation
- Own a piece of our high-potential, well-funded startup.
Benefits
- This role offers a base salary between $170,000 and $210,000, plus equity and benefits.
- Our benefits include low-deductible medical plans, flexible time off, and supportive family leave policies.
- Health coverage, remote workspace support, and more.
Company info
- Our approach: curious, humble, but relentless.
- We're fun, kind, and exceptional-serious about making an impact but never taking ourselves too seriously.
- Based in Colorado, but work from anywhere with the tools and support you need.
- Lead technical discovery with DoD/IC and federal customers: mission workflows, data sources, operating constraints (including DDIL), stakeholders, and success criteria.
