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.
Deployed Engineers bring technical depth to Cognition's most federal enterprise engagements.

Build product extensions and integrations using Cognition's APIs and platform primitives
Architect and maintain complex enterprise deployments
Builder mentality - you'd rather ship something than wait for someone else to build it
You'll own a narrow set of strategic accounts, tackling the hardest problems-whether that's architecting a deployment, building an integration, or debugging something no one else can figure out.
Own the technical direction and success of customer accounts and deployments
You'll own the technical direction of accounts, making decisions that shape long-term adoption, architecture, and how the Cognition platform evolves in real-world environments.
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.

Experience working within the government or working in a government focused company.
Have a track record of pursuing excellence at high levels, in any domain
Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or similar
comfort navigating unfamiliar codebases
Experience scoping and shipping features in collaboration with product and engineering teams
Track record in forward-deployed engineering, solutions architecture, or similar technical roles
Experience with enterprise infrastructure (cloud deployments, networking, security)

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.
You'll identify patterns from the field, build on the product edge to unblock customers, and translate those learnings into requirements that inform what core engineering builds next.
