San Francisco / Los Altos, in-person 5 days a week, occasional travel to customer sites • Reports to the CTO • $190K to $245K base + equity About the role
You 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.

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 with
An IL5 system you built or ran: your role, the stack, and how it reached ATO. Nothing classified or CUI. Required. How we hire

Location: in-person, 5 days a week, across our San Francisco and Los Altos offices.
The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package.
