San Francisco / Los Altos, in-person 5 days a week, occasional travel to customer sites • Reports to the CTO • $190K to $245K base + equityAbout the roleYou will own our DoD Impact Level 5 (IL5) deployment end to end: the app, the infrastructure, and the controls that get it authorized. Our prime contractor and government customers will count on you to get it right.
What you'll do- Stand it up. Deploy and harden Uare.ai in Azure Government.
- Lock it down. Build access controls and audit logs that trace every read and write.
- Harden the stack. Ship approved container images and keep them current against STIGs and scans.
- Secure the data. CAC/PKI login, FIPS-validated encryption, and CUI handling.
- Get to ATO. Own the security documentation with the prime contractor's compliance team.
- Keep pace. Ship features across our stack (TypeScript, Next.js, Python, Postgres, Redis, Azure) so both platforms stay in sync.
What we're looking for- U.S. citizenship is required. This role supports U.S. government contracts that require it.
- Hands-on experience building or operating systems in a DoD IL5 environment (Azure Government preferred).
- 7+ years shipping production systems across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
- Working knowledge of the DoD Cloud Computing SRG, NIST SP 800-53 and 800-171, STIGs, and the RMF / ATO process.
- Strong with Azure (containers, identity, storage, monitoring), infrastructure as code, and CI/CD in locked-down environments.
- Able to pass a U.S. government background investigation. An active clearance is a plus.
Bonus- Iron Bank / Platform One container pipelines.
- Shipped AI features. Early-stage or founding-engineer experience.
Apply withAn IL5 system you built or ran: your role, the stack, and how it reached ATO. Nothing classified or CUI. Required.
